@PeterMoskos The MTA to my understanding did at one point float being okay with connecting the 6 train to the PATH tunnels for the PATH-Lex project after 9/11, but PANYNJ refused to approve it. Since then, the only MTA operations in NJ is a bus from Staten Island to the HBLR in Bayonne.
English
@PeterMoskos I would be able to understand this logic if WMATA didn't exist, as it is not under FRA rules but it by definition has to operate in multiple states because all but the Red and Green lines (and until recently, the Yellow Line) operate in both Maryland and Virginia.
English
Port Authority could build new subway lines connecting New Jersey and New York. There is zero chance the MTA ever will because it would then classify the NYC subway as an Interstate Railroad. And federal railroad regulations would effectively shut down the entire system.
Colin@Colin_d_m
Even by NYC standards, the cost of PABT is horrendous. The fix for New Jersey commuters isn't a bigger bus garage it's a subway. Sadly Port Authority and New Jersey would rather light money on fire than let the MTA cross the Hudson.

@KaylaSaysMore They add the vanilla sweet cream to it, which makes it "dirty"

what makes a soda “dirty”
I don’t drink soda I don’t get what it means
Equinox@EquinoxDrums
Taco Bell recently introduced Dirty Sodas to their menu, and in a single large MTN Dew Midnight there is 118g of sugar (236% the daily limit)

@jjcroftiv @atlurbanist It wouldn't exist. It's a pretty terrible corridor for BRT.
English
@PKMNred200 @atlurbanist No, that's the point. The point, as stated at the top of the thread, is that BRT down the middle is a bad idea. So, where would you put it?
English
Unfortunately, this is exactly what's being built in Atlanta on Highway 400 with a Bus Rapid Transit platform in the middle of the highway.
Indeed: it's an excuse to widen the highway, and the middle of a freeway is not where transit riders need to go.
Jarrett Walker@humantransit
I would be open to this freeway Bus Rapid Transit vision, if it repurposed existing lanes instead of being an excuse to widen. But the stations would be expensive and the middle of a freeway is not where anyone is going. Road design is not the hard part of this.
Atlanta, GA 🇺🇸 English
@jjcroftiv @atlurbanist The point is, in the ideal world, the BRT would not need to exist and the Red Line extension could have been built alongside 400 as it was planned to. The forced transfer at North Springs makes the existing proposal a terrible use case for BRT in the first place.
English
@PKMNred200 @atlurbanist Right, so where would you build the BRT on 400?
English
@jjcroftiv @atlurbanist The Red Line stub ends at North Springs on GA 400. The current BRT project was proposed after the state Senate struck down permission to put a sales tax measure for an extension of the service to Windward Parkway, which is where the BRT is currently slated to end.
English
@atlurbanist I didn't ask about Buford Highway. Where on 400 would you put the BRT?

@lottiesdiaz Chris was 7 when he and Eddie were introduced but is now 15 as of the Abigail plot, so that checks out

@atlanticesque I still think that when designing the Big Dig, the state should have fought harder against the conservation groups that were pushing hard for a park. I read that Fred Salvucci had originally wanted to rebuild the original street grid but faced a lot of pushback from those groups.
English
I'm a certified Greenway Hater™ for all the same reasons my friend Bernard is. The Big Dig was one big wasted opportunity.
And you don't even need to leave Boston for a better idea! 2 miles away there's actual buildings on top of the decked-over turnpike! Y'know, like a city!
Bernard Stanford ✡︎@stanfordNYC
Boston already has this and it basically sucks. It sits cold and empty for a whole half of the year, and even in fair weather is among the worst-utilized land in downtown. A swathe of prime land not used for living, working, commerce, transportation or infrastructure.

@PokeDailyPost Evolving Dawn's Piplup should be considered a criminal offense, given she literally gave it an Everstone

@Spideraxe30 She's easily one of my favorites but one I really want to see is Syndra

@KappuccinoDLXE @lustclouds If it were extended on both ends (to Yankees Stadium onto Staten Island) it would be a huge outer boro transit line

these tweets are even funnier now because like, we've seen that Zohran Mamdani has been doing a pretty good job so far. what are you guys even supposed to be scared of anymore? lol

Our party would be much better off right now had Mamdani lost. I hate being right.

@Witchyb00739574 @RuNoseP NYC has very recently had multiple Republicans win though. Giuliani was Republican and so was Bloomberg his first two terms.
English
@RuNoseP Like, even if you don’t like Zohran, there was no way any other candidate was gonna win. Cuomo was a sex pest, everyone in New York hated Adam’s, Sliwa was funny, but running as a Republican in NYC is suicidal. Anyone else wasn’t popular enough to win

@911_archive @ericsuxx_ Jee Yun, Denny, and Mara's actors were all credited even though none of them appeared.

Michael Johnston was credited on the episode but I don't think I saw him? Did anyone?

@John_J_Marlin @JeremiahDJohns The fact that it passed in Georgia of all places with a 6 speeding tickets before you need a mandated limiter says a lot.
English
@JeremiahDJohns What is this '16 or more tickets' nonsense? Like what, after number 9 it just hasnt become severe enough? This should be a thing after 3.
I've been driving for over a decade and never once gotten a speeding ticket, it isnt hard to drive safely. Be draconian with these maniacs.

If someone has MORE THAN A HUNDRED VIOLATIONS, the time has come to permanently take their driver's license and throw them in jail.
This is "300 professional criminals do the majority of all shoplifting" but for cars. Don't let insane people kill us with their cars.
Governor Kathy Hochul@GovKathyHochul
If you’re speeding over and over again, it’s not a mistake. You’re making our streets dangerous. I’ve got a plan to crack down on super-speeders and make New York City safer. Let’s get it done.

@micah_erfan Massachusetts also quite literally just had a Republican Governor (Baker) and to my understanding the current map is Republican drawn (Romney Admin)
English
Maine has a Republican district. So does Connecticut. Y’all just keep running terrible candidates.
New Hampshire was drawn by Republicans. Vermont has one district. It's not possible to draw a Republican district in Rhode Island.
Bradley Devlin@bradleydevlin
Now compare this to New England. Not a single Republican. No effort to artificially increase Republican representation here! Why do you think that is?

@north0fnorth @amazonmilkfrog They've been calling it a light metro in more recent conversations about it. I've been told they went to Montreal to learn about how the REM operates, which I feel is a good sign
English
@amazonmilkfrog the interborough express train opening in about 5 years is gonna be grade-separated light rail in nyc, although it really should be a full subway line
English
i can see why cities that didn't have metro rail / rapid transit before (msp, seattle, stl, la) break ground with light rail. but of the cities that did, why do some (chicago, new york) have no grade-separated light rail while others (boston, philly) do?
