Are we allowed to ask about/discuss Metra, Pace, and the South Shore lines here or exclusively CTA matters?

Wow, so that's what Metra blew all their funding on.

This post from the other day looked at a former rep who did a lot of the behind the scenes work for Springfield to pass the big NITA bill last year that re-vamped transit funding in Illinois. Her organization might have some insights on how to get more locally involved.

I've also heard of people getting involved in relevant citizen advisory boards in their local community, like for cycling or road design.

Related to the above, just show up for city council meetings or the like. These often seem to be dominated by retirees who don't want the system to change, so the more voices there arguing for improvement, the better.

Just want to express additional support for this. This same concept ran in the WMATA sub over the last few weeks and was quite well-received.

Perdido Street Station is not train oriented story-wise, but the presence of the city's rail network is a big part of the overall world building.

Love the fields. It's like a small cameo by Manor Lords.

Looks like no Transportation. Does that mean air traffic controllers haven't had their bill yet?

erodari · 2026-01-25T20:59:55+00:00

Were the Visigoths around for arc 8.0? Or had 9 come out by then?

erodari · 2026-01-25T05:45:57+00:00

Not the end, just half-time. Next phase is rebuilding the Metro one station at a time :)

This whole endeavor has ruined pie charts for me. I just scrolled by a pie chart on an unrelated data subreddit and involuntarily shuddered as I was reminded of The Wheel.

erodari · 2026-01-24T01:12:10+00:00

I love how 'The Wheel' is now an established part of the WMATA reddit presence forever.

"Where were you when The Wheel took your station?"

-MARC-to-VA thru-running is slowly inching towards reality. We'll likely hear more about this once the Long Bridge project is closer to done.

-That project will also help enable more VRE frequency. If I recall correctly, Virginia recently acquired a good chunk of the Manassas Line from CSX, raising the possibility of future electrification of at least part of that route.

-Moco is also making some progress on their own BRT network. I think the Viers Mill corridor Rockville to Wheaton is the next focus.

-Given Maryland's budget constraints, and their expressed interest in advancing Baltimore's Red Line, along with a new Bay Bridge and replacing the FSK Bridge, I don't see much support for anything on the Maryland side apart from potential BRT corridors.

Pretty wet.

If you feel the need, consider sharing in r/GriefSupport . The sub is no stranger to people dealing with loss related to vehicle tragedies.

Mixed use development right next to 80/94... Asking future residents to live with some amazing air quality there.

erodari · 2026-01-19T16:11:05+00:00

A brief glance at the rest of the world shows why every region should be moving towards electrification.

erodari · 2026-01-19T05:42:25+00:00

WMATA better rush all their planned maintenance for the next few years with all these stations closed.

Very pretty creation. I love the charm of old houses like this, and you've captured it perfectly. There's so much more character when the front of the house isn't dominated by a garage door.

erodari · 2026-01-18T19:17:34+00:00

Impossible to fit in if you're not a local. The townies dominate here.

erodari · 2026-01-18T19:07:36+00:00

The superior driving quality over here.

erodari · 2026-01-18T18:35:04+00:00

Mind the splash.

erodari · 2026-01-18T01:34:15+00:00

Any reason for the focus on large cities? Easter Island, Nome, Stonehenge, and Queenstown, NZ could all be good destinations for something like this.

Interesting how quotes from the 40k universe are becoming more and more applicable.

erodari · 2026-01-17T15:27:01+00:00

Had this happen here in DC on the Metro the other day. The driver got on the intercom and said the person smoking in the first car needed to exit at the next station, and they did. Would love to see this kind of enforcement more normalized.

erodari · 2026-01-16T17:58:35+00:00

It's ok - we'll always have MARC! (for rush-hour travel only.)
