On the eve of the MetroCard's (kind of) retirement, I present to you all the first OMNY Card design prototype.

And to end the year, our very own @bsquiklehausen.com strutted his stuff and explained how the Grand Meet works! bsky.app/profile/bart...
Have you ever seen BART’s Grand Meet?

It’s our nightly ritual at MacArthur BART station!

All four platforms fill with the lasts trains of the night for a timed transfer at 12:51 a.m. so riders can get anywhere in the system.

Watch to see how our system planners make it happen!

Ok so *now* they decide to do some real journalism!

Congrats to @milesintransit.com @jeremyzorek.bsky.social and @sunnyswords.bsky.social for the write-up!
Two New York Times journalists joined Miles Taylor, a YouTuber and transport enthusiast, on a daylong journey across New York City area buses and trains before sale of the MetroCard ends on December 31.

Last day of the running season yesterday means I just *had* to stretch out my '75 SF Zephyr consist as much as possible.

Should have a few more cars (and fewer stand ins!) when the Museum reopens in the spring, too!

I spend years working there under lock and key secrecy on which parts of the Subway were real, and The Onion just comes and... tweets it out.

Germany needs to learn International Best Practices from a railroad with better on time performance: Amtrak.

Especially its overnight and LD services.

Ballers BARTy is best BARTy
A new BARTmobile never came to be, but the facial concepts Lash designed for the vehicle stuck with him. And got stuck on BARTy.

This is model trains
Alright, hear me out: cozy wargames.

All the fun of gluing tiny parts to plastic models and then painting them, but with 98% less Catholicism.

I really feel like this is an untapped market.
