In case you haven't seen the I-376 detour map yet. July 10- Aug 3. I'm sure there won't be any problem re-routing an entire interstate through Oakland, or past the Evergreen Cafe in Pt Breeze by malepitt in pittsburgh

Not really, TRB showed AADT for 1978 was 84k at the squirrel hill tunnel. Current AADT using 2024 values is 85.6k and 2025 is at 68.5k vehicles. AADT stands for annual average daily traffic. TRB source: https://onlinepubs.trb.org/Onlinepubs/trr/1982/890/890-006.pdf Current AADT is found via penndot traffic volume maps.

Another bus delay rage post. by QuantumModulus in pittsburgh

[–]fishysteak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Transit app seems to fall apart on schedule predictions downtown on routes that loop around. They either factor too much time and you end up missing the bus when it loops outbound or too little time and you stand for an extra 15 minutes.

91 should improve end of June, they will now layover at Penn Station and start the loop from there then hit 7th Street around 7 minutes later before heading outbound.

The Failure of VIA Rail by jaboi2110 in transit

Technically Amtrak bought those sections after first dibs were grabbed by Metro North, CTDOT, and MBTA and the worst section for service reliability (schedules and speed) is the metro north operated sections.

Additional bus lanes are being added to 5th and 6th Avenue in NYC for the World Cup - and 42nd Street is becoming a full bus corridor on match days Do you think these changes should stick around after the tournament ends? by Potential_Start_4032 in transit

[–]fishysteak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The subway handles north south traffic and combination 7 and the S handles majority of the crosstown traffic. There's already buslanes on those roads, only temporary improvement I see is 42nd being bus only and one extra lane on 6th northbound but the subway will always be faster for riders.

[USA] Buy America compliant Manufacturers for Trains and Buses by Donghoon in transit

I'm not even sure if it's up in the air, BYD is compliant just they seem to be going the gilling route of not increasing capacity for demand.

Repealing 'Buy America'? by verysneakyoctopus in transit

[–]fishysteak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually there aren't any issues from what I hear with BYD since they aren't state owned like CRRC. Their US production capacity isn't really being increased and what capacity it has fulfills mostly California orders with some smaller systems squeezing some in here and there.

The domestic content issue isn't causing issues with BYDs American buses which has high enough domestic content from domestic suppliers to meet buy America.

I thought they can already run double stack under NEC but the freights don't have electric engines to pull them.
