@FLAGSHIPBREWERY Love your Kölsch, but a ton of your cans are are arriving in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, at a local bar, with a third of the can empty? Just a note :)

@humantransit Vienna switched from cloth to plastic. Outlier I guess. u-wien.at/wp-content/upl… u-wien.at/wp-content/upl…

Cloth seats on rapid transit, common in US systems developed in the late 20th century, are a great example of elite projection. Designed to look nice to imagined "choice riders", they were too expensive to clean and maintain. 1/

@thepointsguy Thought my flight was out of JFK but it was out of LGA.

Have you ever missed a flight? What happened?

@DLB517 @FlyTPA @FLL @SouthwestAir Have you tried @silver_airways on this route? I’ve used them twice after Southwest abandoned the route and they were inexpensive and fine.

@FlyTPA Bring back 3-4 non stop flights a day to @FLL on @SouthwestAir. Me and so many others did day trips for business and now I’m stuck driving

Instead of driving 2+ hours (on a good day), you could just fly out of Tampa

@AirlineFlyer @NYCTSubway @JFKairport Amazing! Also, isn’t that wall behind the sign from the 2000-2003 complete station overhaul in prep for the AirTrain? So if this sign is truly from the 90s they must have saved it and reinstalled it at some point.

@SyracuseAirport FYI, it looks like you have to be a paying member of X to use DMs when the other party (you) isn’t following you too! Thus I think you might not get a ton of responses. Love the idea though.

📣WE NEED YOUR HELP📣 SYR's 75th anniversary is next month & we want you to be part of our video montage! Take a SHORT, one-sentence video saying what you love about SYR & drop it to us via direct message. twitter.com/messages/compo…

@Cliopticon @WNYC @MTA @BrianLehrer And can’t they at least present engaging facts!? Every child knows @EmpireStateBldg was the world’s tallest building when it opened!

What’s with the @WNYC ads in the train and on the platforms @MTA? I guess if we have to have ads I’m OK hearing @BrianLehrer but I fear this is a slippery slope!

@feebleteams @Park_Committee @AirlineFlyer @Amtrak Yes. The PATH extension is apparently out of the capital plan again after being in it for several years.

@Park_Committee @AirlineFlyer @Amtrak There really should be a Plan B to get to EWR via rail. Like how at JFK you have LIRR AND subway. I was going from NYP to EWR station on a Friday and was starting to stress because NJ transit was suspended, but got lucky as the trains were starting up again. PATH should go there

Nice to see #airtrainjfk run at decent frequencies (4-6 min!) again after years of increasingly diminished service. @2AvSagas covered it back in 2016: secondavenuesagas.com/2016/08/22/loo…

@13WHAM Main precaution seems to be that when a fully-gassed jet, ready for a transatlantic voyage, has to land that early, it’ll be overweight and can burn out/overheat the brakes. Landed safely though and the SYR departure monitor says the replacement jet will leave ~1:30am.

NEW TONIGHT: A Delta flight on the way to Germany reportedly made an emergency landing at the Syracuse airport tonight due to engine failure. 13wham.com/news/nation-wo…

@marcin698601 @n_laguardia @travis_robert @NYCTSubway @MTA A few months ago the metal columns on the northern active platform were repainted in very dark green and lighting was dramatically improved on both active platforms. This happened a few weeks after they put up signs for "re-new-vaction".

@n_laguardia @travis_robert @NYCTSubway @MTA Hoyt Re-new-vation is on the list but I'm not sure if it was done.

@mark_mackillop Greenpoint, Brooklyn (outside): Power flicker and didn’t hear the boom (faintly) until about 10 seconds later, so it was likely pretty far away from me.

Did anyone else’s power just flicker on and off in Manhattan?

@2AvSagas I think he just wanted to bring media attention to the dilapidated platform infrastructure at Newark Penn Station!

What bull is NJ Transit trying to foist on us this time?

@PhilWalkable Two or so of the SAS stations have a local coffee spot, at least as of last year. patch.com/new-york/upper…

Why don’t we have coffeeshops on the platforms of subways? A newspaper stand is okay today. Safety, sanitation, space, demand?

@FlyTPA Just some feedback that the new ride app pickup on the blue side is rather confusing. Makes no sense to go downstairs to get a bag and then go up two levels again.

PARKING AT TPA DURING THANKSGIVING? 🦃 Pre-booking is the ONLY way to guarantee a spot: park.tampaairport.com/book/TPA/Parki…

@SyracuseAirport @GoCentroBus I’m going to try to plan my next SYR trip around this schedule. May be a bit tricky on a Saturday but $1 has to be the most-affordable airport-to-city transfer in the country!

Did you hear the news? Our partner @GoCentroBus is launching a trial service to the airport starting Tuesday, September 5th! 📜Centro's Press Release: bit.ly/CentroTrialSYR 🚍 Public Transit at SYR: bit.ly/SYRPublicTrans…

@bobjessup @MikeBradleyMKE @nilocobau It has sort of become one after industry left. Wasn’t one for college’s first few decades.

@MikeBradleyMKE @nilocobau Is Binghamton even a “college town”? I don’t know. I mean of course there’s a college there but is that enough?

@AirlineFlyer That's an interesting block of NYC on the map. 95% surrounded by Nassau County.

@c0uldntresist @urbenist Yeah, my first thought was Vienna as well. But, due to its regulation upstream, it’s a tiny creek 95% of the time.

@urbenist Vienna did this to the Wien River

I just received leaked documents that prove the Chicago DOT is planning on paving over the Chicago River...

@lowete @YAppelbaum That has to do with its state treaty of 1955, when the Soviets agreed to move out. Stipulation was that Austria had to be neutral and couldn't join NATO.

My housing tour of Vienna began in a cab. We told the delighted driver that we were going to see the apartment where my wife's grandparents had lived. "Oh?" he asked. "How long ago did they leave?" 1938. The smile vanished. "I thought you said they were Austrian." Silence.
