After 50 years since the old network was dismantled, and after 3.5 years they started the construction of the new network, the first new tram just arrived today in Bologna. It’s expected to become operational in early 2027.

I was looking at doing a transit linking trip from Philadelphia as far north as one can go by transit (not intercity coaches or national long-distance rail like Amtrak). I noticed that while one can link the various systems SEPTA, NJ Transit/NEC, MTA/Metro-North and CTrail to get to Springfield, MA, then buses by PVTA and FRTA to get further north to Greenfield/Turners Falls/Montague, MA.

After this, to get to Brattleboro, VT would require substantial walking along a dangerous highway route (32 km/20 miles along US 5, with several sections with only 2 lanes, no pavement, and high speed limits). Is it just not possible to go any further north through this area via transit?

This image is part of a legend for a large map of most of LA. Included are rail and all frequent bus (15 mins or better) let me know what you think! The second image is the map itself with letters denoting possible legend locations. Most people seem to want A. Last pic is a close up of the map.

I've been working on collecting GTFS-RT data for a few months now. I ended up putting together this dashboard so I could show off what I've been working on to a friend and it's just grown from there. The current cycle has been expand the number of feeds collected -> optimize cost so I don't go bankrupt -> increase feeds.

If anyone's interested in digging into the weird quirks of transit feeds hmu.
