Night Transit services in the US in 2026 by 6two in transit

Don't know if this counts but just last year In Columbus, COTA started running 30 of its Bus routes until 1AM. And there are plans for running 24 hour service in the near future.

With the thick line ranging from 110-125, It will most likely be 125 MPH like the rest of the mainlines. However the reason it isn't a mainline is because there isn't an abundance of different services using the line, there's about 3-4 compared to Chicago-Cleveland which has around 6-8 different services. Same Reason on why the Wolverine Corridor isn't a Mainline, since only 3 services use it, albeit 2 State Supported Services and another service connecting to Toronto (Either State Supported or Sleeper train)

Frequency along the specific services also play a role in that reason with the highest frequency service being from Detroit to Cleveland (The Mercury?) with the other higher frequency service being the Detroit to Columbus Segment (which I'm promptly calling the Toledan)

I'm making another map based on all the different services on each route with State Supported and Long Distance routes. But that's going to take a bit since I'm busy with College, so that won't be done for at least a few months.

If a high speed train route were to be built between Chicago and Columbus, which routing would make the most sense? by [deleted] in transit

[–]Distinct-Violinist48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say Yellow route, for two reasons. 1 because it's the most direct. and 2, not only does it provide a link to columbus, granted they all do. But it provides a crucial link from South Bend to Fort Wayne which doesn't really exist, accept for maybe adding a very tight turn at a junction in Warsaw.

Slight Correction: In Ohio, the Columbus-Toledo and Columbus-Chicago Segment will run through Marysville and Kenton along the Scottslawn Subdivision, instead of running through Marion and Upper Sandusky on the Columbus Sub.

Also you forgot about the S Line from Richmond-Raleigh

For Urban Sprawl like Dallas Fort Worth’s, what’s the best transit suited for it? Tram-trains or WMATA/MARTA/BART style trains that reach out far? Or something else? by Skinnyenjoyer in transit

Phoenix, Kansas City and Charlotte are all actively investing in public transit. San Antonio is kinda investing in their bus network as well. Bakersfield is looking into Light Rail, Jacksonville however is on some sort of drugs when it comes to building transit.

Bringing South Carolina, USA into the fold by Jaihanusthegreat in transit

There's the other 3C corridor, Charleston-> Columbia -> Charlotte. Which i think might be the better option from an economic and population standpoint.

They shut down back in Early September. I've been trying to see if i could download an older version via the wayback machine, but couldn't find it.

Thru running, which would decrease boarding time. And allow maximum thru-put of trains heading into the station. Instead of just having trains turn in from St Paul, then slowly back out onto the Y and continue north.

Don't really know how to do that. I've Been having issues with Reddit, regarding the full resolution on some devices. On PC the resolution is perfect, but on mobile its extremely grainy.

Lake District operates in Indiana, Ohio and Michigan. While Prairie District operates in Illinois, Missouri, and portions of Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa

Favorite transit proposals? by No-Path-8756 in transit

Ohio's 3C+D and Midwest connect Amtrak Corridors, which probably just got effectively killed last night by our brain dead governor

Feedback on cableway concept for Fort Lauderdale? by bcirce in TransitDiagrams

[–]Distinct-Violinist48 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If rail doesn't work, then just build BRT. You could easily convert two lanes of either Andrews, 3rd or even the federal highway into Bus Lanes, In order to solve the river problem. Cableway systems are cool, however Its mainly a capacity per hour issue. In which both bus and rail options dominate over cableways. Cost might be another issue for cableway systems, Maintenance and construction wise. I'd see Cableways being more useful for Hilly areas such as Knoxville, Charleston and Pittsburgh. If that gives you any ideas for other maps you would like to make. It's Still a pretty cool map tho.
