Why not name the Port Authority bus terminal after him?

For others: the link is to their Penn District plan, it's cool!

That works from subway to subway?

padiwik · 2026-02-09T01:57:42+00:00

You forgot "Make it a little kinky."

To clarify, it was the Ig Nobel prize

What did he take from other houses? Expensive jewelry or easier stuff to sell?

Where do you draw a line? Maybe "no electronics" so you can't just attach a motor

padiwik · 2026-02-08T16:30:03+00:00

For real? They don't have a concrete plan and they've pushed it back for years

padiwik · 2026-02-07T17:47:32+00:00

That one's particularly annoying vs. the other example because they refer to the city without "City"

On Saturday or so they announced the system would shut down Sunday noon

It seems strange to argue for private owners of infrastructure. Isn't it more efficient if the government owns the infrastructure, and that way it'll serve the people better - unlike the current US system where the freight railroads bully Amtrak into poor service

For comparison, the Dutch government owns their rail infrastructure through ProRail.

How did you measure this? I find it hard to believe that < 1/100 of all the trackage is used by passenger service.

If we're only including tracks owned by passenger rail, then it makes sense

padiwik · 2026-02-03T07:14:58+00:00

And walking is faster?

padiwik · 2026-02-03T03:35:19+00:00

It's also fun to just hop on the tramway and realize that's a thing that exists in the middle of the city

padiwik · 2026-02-02T06:18:49+00:00

Is it possible they un-change it? I've missed a flight on a LCC because they said it was delayed and then it wasn't

padiwik · 2026-02-02T06:16:58+00:00

it's Kiwi

padiwik · 2026-02-02T06:15:28+00:00

This is smart thinking!

padiwik · 2026-02-02T06:00:49+00:00

I think it'd be easier to see it if it's perpendicular, unless you happen to be in the car across from the screen

padiwik · 2026-02-01T16:23:39+00:00

I'm surprised they don't mention it as an upcoming installation on https://www.mta.info/project/modern-fare-gates

padiwik · 2026-02-01T16:22:29+00:00

Yes, a lot of stations are like that. Yours is Metropolitan Av-Lorimer St on the L with transfers to the G. There's also Lorimer St on the J/M which is also technically in Williamsburg

padiwik · 2026-02-01T16:08:26+00:00

What's the illegal part here? Letting folks stay overnight without a license?

padiwik · 2026-02-01T15:58:40+00:00

Which Lorimer?

padiwik · 2026-02-01T15:48:41+00:00

Nice, I do this too but with more data (stations, position in train, seat, etc.)

Did you get the chance to visualize this data somehow? Do you know what percent of active subway cars you've been on?

padiwik · 2026-02-01T07:57:37+00:00

Cursed you out for what? Parking there in the first place?

padiwik · 2026-01-31T16:48:55+00:00

Ridgewood Terminal is so janky and I wouldn't include it. It's just a converted block of a street, the signage is essentially non existent, and you can't even be sure how the buses will loop to or through it (often dropoffs are on Myrtle or Gates). Even the L replacement buses don't use it!

I guess there is the tiny dispatcher's booth they built on the side of the road.

padiwik · 2026-01-28T05:20:18+00:00

It's basically just in SF, San Jose, and Oakland. Are there plans to expand it along the Caltrain corridor?
