@metrolosangeles Please make sure A line service is stable this weekend if you're asking people to use it as an alternative!

Heads Up! Buses replace B and D Line trains between 7th/Metro and Union Station starting 9pm Fri Nov 15 thru close of service Nov 17. 👉🏾 we’re testing equipment for new D Line extension! 👉🏾 see alternative transportation options below 👉🏾 regular service resumes Mon, Nov 18

@Caltrain SM, RWC, PA, MTV, Sunnyvale, and the Alameda in SJ are all lovely historic railroad towns, and super glad that Caltrain continues to connect them all together!

The Caltrain corridor is unique in so many ways, but one thing in particular is the accessibility to so many downtown destinations. What is your favorite downtown destination along our corridor? Leave your answers in the comments ⬇️.

@BethanyAllenEbr Bethany, I haven't heard anyone talking about the fact that Rubio is sanctioned by China. Seems like a reverse Li Shangfu situation, and quite interesting. Wonder what the impacts of that might be

With Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, it's very hard to imagine the Trump administration removing US support from Taiwan.

@bussit_bbLA Pico to 7th is pretty great actually, esp since the train makes the one traffic light 90% of the time. USC to LATTC is...fine. Not great, but fine. Pretty much the entire problem is LATTC to Pico. That stretch takes longer than the other two combined.

“Im only five stops away” The five stops:

@berniesbro94 @mikeoplasma @NickAndert That's Expo/Bundy. It's already under construction. No plans for apartments in Rancho Park.

@Caltrain While it may be a good Spanish lesson, you're incorrectly teaching Chinese language learners that Caltrain is a plane (登机 means "board" but only for boarding planes). Could you get your translators to fix that?

Spanish lesson of the day ☺️⚡️

@orenbj @metrolosangeles Chinatown would be one too if the College Station development that was already approved by the city council pre-covid actually got built la.urbanize.city/post/la-city-c…

@misken67 @metrolosangeles I believe Expo/Bundy will be the next one westsidetoday.com/2023/08/06/car…

Mixed-use towers begin to rise above the La Cienaga/Jefferson @metrolosangeles station. They will top out around 150ft. 🚈🏗️

@keith_johnson @BikeLanesLA @LADOTofficial Venice was absolutely packed. There looked like space for the driver to go several blocks in Hollywood, but a driver I saw in Venice who attempted this couldn't even get into the lane before a bunch of bikers getting squeezed in got off and confronted the driver

@BikeLanesLA @LADOTofficial Happened in the ciclavia to Venice but he was stopped right away, gotta ticket too. Driver asked officers why there were so many bikes in the way.

Car driver makes their way into Hollywood CicLAvia 🤦‍♀️🫣

@eknath_namdev @the_UrbanWolf @EngineerDustin It looks like Ocean in Santa Monica

Ok bike nerds, who has guidance for these "20 ft" bike lane tapers that get installed before the mixing zone of dedicated right turn lanes?

@NerdTransiting @kbalakri @ponilinda @SFBART Sometimes there's no agent and you're supposed to just walk through. Even if there is an agent the gates just open anyways

@kbalakri @ponilinda @SFBART Technically, you are supposed to show the agent.

Just saw a guy come up the stairs at Civic towards the new gates, walk at them, hit them and then go “oh fuck” Thank you for working to keep our system safe. @SFBART

@JosephPolitano The Trolley carried more people than BART at one point? Good lord... I knew BART was doing bad but local transit generally has been doing better around the country so I didn't realize Muni was also performing so poorly...

I wonder if BART ridership has just permanently fallen behind LA Metro—just over the next few years Metro will open connections to LAX, 9 miles of subway through some of the densest parts of the city, and another eastern expansion of light rail. Plus there's a ton in the works.

@Loomis_USA hey there, your van is illegally parked at the bus stop at @WestfieldCC today, blocking the Route 4 @metrolosangeles bus. This is a long articulated bus so in order to drop off riders, the bus ended up blocking part of the intersection. This is dangerous for riders

@obchargn @CarterRubin Muni doesn't release station ridership as far as I can tell, but their system ridership is ~75k weekday boardings. Can only guesstimate Embarcadero ridership and while it's close, I didn't know if Muni can close the gap with those numbers

@CarterRubin What happens if you include MUNI?

@omgitsjcg @keegan_tweets @numble It still depends. If the A northbound train is arriving now and then next closest B/D is more than 3~4 minutes away, then the A is faster. A platform is also closer to the Metrolink trains, if that's your transfer.

@keegan_tweets @numble @misken67 Very zoomed in but if you're trying to get to Union Station specifically from 7th, and you're in a hurry, you're looking for B/D every time. It's a shorter trip with more than 2x the departures and cell reception repeaters are installed.

LA Metro FY24 A/E line weekday passenger load by @misken67, illustrating how busy the route is at each station in the line. reddit.com/r/LAMetro/s/oR…

@andr_w VTA's data portal is a bit of a mess. Exported data spreadsheets are so large that they crash Google Sheets. And the portal itself is laggy with too much information. Maybe I'll attempt it one day! LA metro data also had to be requested. Maybe it's a socal thing

@Ashmew8 Accidentally mixed up some of the numbers between Milpitas and Pittsburg Center, and Berryessa and Antioch, when calculating the averages. Here's the fixed numbers!

Just discovered another (albeit much higher effort) BART ridership map that was actually made before mine, so go check it out! It also uses a slightly different data set and is for July 2023 to June 2024 average weekday ridership instead of June 2024 only

I made a BART ridership map based on June 2024 ridership levels for recorded exits. Note that these are paid fares, some other agencies have automatic passenger counters, but BART uses recorded Clipper taps. This is also during the summer so some schools are not in session.

@andr_w Here's one for BART:
