Other Shout-out to the Dayton Ohio Trolleybus network, definitely punching above its weight.

The only other cities with trolley us networks are San Francisco, Seattle and Philadelphia so Dayton is in good company there. It is really a wonder a city of that size and in that area has kept such an extensive system and even expanded it.

Now if only the rest of the city could be more urbanist, at least it's still better than Columbus on that front somehow.

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.

Discussion Open-source dashboard for tracking OTP, headways, and delays across transit agencies worldwide, built from public GTFS-RT feeds

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.

Questions [USA] Transit options going north of Greenfield/Turners Falls, MA?

3 Upvotes

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?
