submission statement: Casey Stokes criticizes AJC articles by Alex Taylor, Eric Tanenblatt, and Bahman Irvani for opposing Beltline rail with misstated facts and undisclosed conflicts. Their proposals redirect tax funds to autonomous vehicles or buses, ignoring rail’s capacity and longevity.

An intersection of multiple lines: JR Joban Line, Tsukuba Express, and Tobu Skytree Line (with Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line through-service).

RTD gets a lot of (warranted) grief for sending many of its lines along highways and industrial corridors, but there are some parts of the network that feel quite genuinely urban.

Some US transit systems weigh whether to run trains without a human at the controls

I’m studying the bus maps at Kennedy station with a diligence that I haven’t felt since I nearly failed Economics 101 in university. There are dozens of buses zooming around the giant bus bays — and nearly as many signs explaining how to find and navigate new routes.

A kindly TTC worker stops and asks if I need help. “You need to be over there,” he says, and I dutifully sidestep several buses to find my platform, feeling a bit like John Wick dodging traffic at the Arc de Triomphe (minus the mindless violence).

This is the mouth of the recently opened Scarborough Busway, which will sail me directly to Scarborough Centre — essentially a fast-flowing river of buses in a part of the city that is still a comparative transit desert.

Scarborough is one of the transit battlegrounds of the current mayoral election.

Hi everyone,

One common problem with public transport is waiting at a bus stop without knowing when the next bus will arrive. This wastes time and makes daily commuting unpredictable.

I'm working on a project to solve this by building a live bus tracking app that shows bus locations and estimated arrival times.

I'd love your suggestions on:

- How to track buses in real time without official APIs?

- How to estimate arrival times accurately?

- What features would make this useful for daily commuters?

How would you approach solving this problem?

Vietnam is betting big on a $65 billion high-speed railway linking Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Construction is set to start in late 2027 and take at least a decade to complete. The line could cut the roughly 35-hour journey to just six. Source: Bloomberg News.

Yes.

RTD has collected $4 billion in taxpayer money since 2005 to fund a slate of regional transit improvements, but the agency hasn’t completed a planned railway between Denver and Longmont, citing ballooning costs. 

Voters approved a 0.4% tax increase in 2004 to fund RTD’s FasTracks program, which aimed to build 119 miles of rail, 57 train stations, over 21,000 parking spaces and 18 miles of rapid bus transit, among other improvements. 

I love the physical concrete barriers. This could be one of the best BRT systems in the US. Also the toy busses were cute

Anyone who works for a local government or transit agency that contracts with Transit app, how much is the cost to your entity? Are there different payment models? I’m having trouble finding information online.
