New Flyer builds its primary transit models on the Xcelsior. Due to "buy America" and Nova Bus leaving the U.S. market recently, we have very limited urban transit bus variety today.

It's basically New Flyer and Gillig. That's it. So damn boring.

It feels like the Xcelsior design has been mostly unchanged for a decade or more. Prior to this design, New Flyer was making design changes more frequently giving fleets more variety.

I miss the 90's and 2000's when transit buses had so much variety it was crazy. Flxible, Orion, Gillig, GM, RTS, Neoplan USA, NABI, etc.

Hello, I hope that it is allowed to share your own github repos which contain stuff that might be interesting for you all. :-) Please do not ban me if it is not...

I had an app or website idea and could not find anything for long time, I finally refined the idea and thanks to claude ai it exists. It is a tool to design and plan public transport network including lines and their frequencies with capacity restraints and depot trips. You can also pull request if you want to have a good save to be featured. I myself made Prague (Czechia) tram network with small adjustments in it so it opens with something running. It is free and licensed it in a way you can modify it but are not allowed to sell it or change the license. The link: https://github.com/matematysek/transit-network-planner

Say what you want about CAHSR. But the project is indeed advancing. The guideway is starting to look more like a guideway. Viaducts and bridges are now connecting to it. Major structures are being completed. Including the 1.2 mile long Hanford Viaduct. 62 of 92 structures are now complete along the initial 119 mile segment under construction in the Central Valley. In a few years time. Fresno will be testing trains faster than any train on the north east corridor. It will be interesting to watch, as this segment comes to life.

If trains go around the loop anticlockwise, it looks like they can't get back to Dhoby Ghaut

Anyone in Brisbane or surrounding who uses public transport.. would love some feedback on this app. Www.Next123.com.au

Sorry if this is not allowed here. I checked the rules and it didn't mention anything against it.

I’m challenging myself to make a new piece of abstract data art every week, and this week I’ve been exploring Melbourne’s train timetables.

Each image shows all scheduled trains for a particular line, starting at midnight and continuing until the last train of the day.

The stations run vertically (city at the bottom), and time runs left to right.

Each little diagonal line represents a train travelling between stops. Outbound trains angle upwards, inbound downwards. Trains skipping stations get longer and change colour — red for outbound, blue for inbound. The more stations skipped, the stronger the colour.

It’s pretty cool seeing how differently the routes behave. Some have these really consistent patterns, while others look like absolute chaos.

I’m sure there are some interesting quirks hidden in here that people who know the network better than me might spot!

Would love to know what you think.

I'm not an engineer, sorry if this is a silly question. What is underneath an interstate highway? Could a subway (roughly) follow that path? How deep does a subway usually go?

Pictured is the Charlotte North Carolina "Outerbelt" and some photos from Wikipedia. A plain, generic American freeway in a growing city (and national bank hub!). The airport is on the western side, at "9 o'clock" on the circle.

We all know the pain of DB Navigator or the KVB/VRS apps saying "on time" while you're stranded on the platform.

For my Master's thesis in Cologne, I'm researching a peer-verified alert and cross-operator rerouting system (DB, KVB, SWB). If you use public transit in the Köln-Bonn area, your 3–4 minutes would really help. 100% anonymous, no email/login required.

Hey all. I'm finally taking a day trip up to Boston and need ideas for interesting bus routes to ride. I'll have about 9 hours up there. I intend to ride the entire subway and light rail system, but I need ideas for bus routes outside of the Silver Lie (an obligatory ride).

Any help would be appreciated!
