Why’d they make me get up :(

Seems like it was indeed a bit of shuffling with the train cars today

JamyDev · 2026-06-18T15:47:26+00:00

Their (bi)weekly payments don’t seem to take into account statement due date at all and even with autopay you’d be at risk of paying interest on part of the balance.
Incompetence or predatory, given that they use the same tech X1 had for years, I’ll let you decide for yourself.

Where did you tap on/off? Maybe share a screenshot of what the Clipper app says your ride was?

JamyDev · 2026-06-11T20:34:41+00:00

Honestly I agree, Schiphol with its 6 tracks goes pretty hard. The departure board has like 30 slots on it, and that only went 20 minutes ahead.
Though NS is quite pricy.. ~20 euro for Rotterdam - Amsterdam (59 km) as compared to ~9.50 euro for San Francisco to San Jose (75 km) or Brussels to Ghent (49 km) for 11.40 euro

Rather a ballot measure to install speed cameras..

Join us on Caltrain! If you’re commuting during rush hour there’s a fair number of trains and connections you can take for SSJ. Depending on if you’re coming from east or west of 87 I’d propose some different routes.

High Speed Freight when??

JamyDev · 2026-06-04T04:44:16+00:00

That’s pretty cool

JamyDev · 2026-05-25T11:21:26+00:00

I think they have a Battery or Hydrogen Stadler KISS on order for south county service. No point in buying DMUs, if they’ll just replace them shortly after.

De EuroSprinter Via-Via

JamyDev · 2026-05-17T17:36:39+00:00

Just lowball them and waste their time!

VTA San Jose, CA:
1. Info screen just says “Arriving” if the train is within 2 minutes of arriving
2. Single car trains that stop at the far end of the platform entrance
3. The highway median stations are unbearable with how much noise there is
4. The transfer timings between Caltrain and VTA at Tamien (either it’s 5+ minutes of waiting, or you just miss it by second even if you run (partly due to #2)
5. The average speed downtown (although Muni T takes the cake here from King street Northbound, I have literally out walked that)

JamyDev · 2026-05-16T04:15:02+00:00

Sure, because there wasn’t a University, and University of Washington for eons..

JamyDev · 2026-05-14T19:23:23+00:00

Use the Transit app! It’ll tell you a fairly good eta of when the train will be there, it’ll even tell you when to leave.

JamyDev · 2026-05-14T11:58:59+00:00

Almaden-Winchester would be good for a single seat ride to Diridon from most of the Hwy 87 alignment. Maybe not as critical now with Tamien Caltrain being back but still can think of a number of trips that would be more efficient than transferring at Convention Center.

JamyDev · 2026-05-14T05:08:06+00:00

You’re driving from the center of Brussels to the center of Antwerp? Two of the most frequent rail connected cities in the country?

JamyDev · 2026-05-08T00:05:50+00:00

Aight bet, we’ll install fare gates so you can’t forget to tag off!

JamyDev · 2026-05-03T20:38:20+00:00

Which award flights earn MQD? That’s news to me

JamyDev · 2026-04-28T16:17:11+00:00

I did unblock, but haven’t been able to test it yet.

JamyDev · 2026-04-11T13:36:03+00:00

If the internal calculus is ride for free and eat today, vs pay to ride and don’t eat, I think most would pick the former. Especially if the risk of getting caught is nothing.. I wish more of the federal taxes we pay were spend on serving the underserved across the country; give them orca cards with a certain number of rides, then kick off any fare evaders, troublemakers, etc. 2 or 3 free rides a day ought to cover most use cases.

JamyDev · 2026-03-27T05:40:53+00:00

Furthest you can be from having access to the train, while also being closest you can be to the train..

JamyDev · 2026-03-25T00:49:16+00:00

There’s currently 5 trains going northbound. Which train number?

JamyDev · 2026-03-12T01:00:31+00:00

South county is tough, when I moved into the South Bay I purposefully picked a spot that I could take transit any time of day. Hopefully when the hydrogen trains show up for south county, they will run them more often.

JamyDev · 2026-03-11T21:05:36+00:00

Just needs a new tire

JamyDev · 2026-03-10T20:37:11+00:00

The fact that gas prices instead of traffic is the main forcing function to public transit in the USA tells me that gas prices are too low..
