i was just reading about this futuristic "human centipede" style subway train that the MTA is threatening to test out. do you think it will be an improvement or nah? use your imaginations.

squad goals.

thx bun bun.

happy transportation disaster week

in taiwan taxi drivers have to keep their eyes peeled for errant airplanes. did you hear about the metro north train that hit a car then caught on fire? just the worst accident in the history of the metro north.

LOL weather

read this article about new transit options in denver

apparently denver has been quietly making major investments in light rail and bus rapid transit infrastructure. this article is way less boring than it may sound.

if the owners don't claim him the MTA guy is going to adopt. via

nashville's choo choo plan

Lawmakers looking to relieve traffic congestion in Nashville have hit upon an improbable solution: a monorail.

The stretch of I-24 between Nashville and Murfreesboro is one of the most congested in the state, and it’s projected to get even worse as the population grows.

So State Senator Bill Ketron, a Murfreesboro Republican, proposed building a monorail along the highway median. While it may sound ridiculous at first, the idea is getting some traction. (via)

The nyt named Chattanooga to it's list of 45 places to go in 2012! 
What they don't know is that it's on my list of places in Tenn I haven't been yet. Who's coming with me!

25. Chattanooga, Tenn.
A city stages a comeback fueled by artists and retailers.
In 1969, Walter Cronkite famously called Chattanooga the “dirtiest” city in America. In recent years, though, it has undergone a dramatic overhaul with a radical gentrification plan and an aggressive citywide push to lure artists. In addition to a $120 million clean-up-and-invest 21st Century Waterfront Plan, an incentive program called Arts Move brings artists of all mediums into town; a yearly Southern arts fair called Four Bridges draws thousands each April; and several arts districts have been cultivated and nurtured.
On the heels of this artistic transformation has come the inevitable, yet not unwelcome, boutique boom in places like the recently restored Warehouse Row, a Civil War-era factory turned shopping center filled with local, upscale and artisanal goods. SARAH WILDMAN

pop that pony on the train

unstoppable.

just wanted to tell you about this little tradition bun-bun and i share. whenever we're going to the same place after work, we attempt what we call "subway meet-ups". as i'm typically coming from penn station, and he from chelsea, we often both end up using the 2/3 or the A/C/E lines, but starting at different stations. we coordinate our timing and car selection so that we end up with a together-ride. tonight's is going to be very challenging, here is an excerpt from our planning session:

Rob: train meet up?
me: definitely
i was thinking about it this morning
its going to be a complicated one!
Rob: im more excited about it than is rational
me: maybe the toughest yet
Rob: you arriving to penn?
me: yes
we're gonna need the uptown E
you're only one stop away right?
Rob: yes. ok, where is the best spot on train for the transfer to g?
me: well thats what im concerned about
the best spot for the transfer is the first car
my access point at penn is at the back of the train
and i hardly ever make the walk to the front before the train comes
Rob: and i enter platform at first
same happens to me if im trying to get to back
me: so im worried that i wont be able to get to the front
Rob: what if i ride in the front looking out the front window and ill try to watch for you walking down the platform
if you're not at the front of the train i could always get out and wait for you at 34th st
me: yeah, i like that
i have cell service until i go through the turnstiles

ill tell you "im going in", and you get on the very next E train

and then ill book it to the front
Rob: lets make that our plan. no matter what we'll meet at the first car either in train or on platform
me: perfect
and as always....my train is scheduled to arrive at 6.25
but its usually a bit slow on fridays
of course ill keep you posted the entire way
Rob: let me know when youre njt is coming into the city and ill start shutting down
me: constant updates
Rob: ok

it is going to be just like this:



i'll let you know how it works out, and will also attempt to take pictures.

whoops!!!

watch a bunch of argentinians get douched as a train pulls into a giant puddle.
