So he doesn't support trans equality

When I took this photo a few weeks ago, it was just a joke.

Thinking the same about the marginal shale wells and the junk bonds of small producers.

Maybe this will solve the problem /s

(Spoiler alert, it doesn't)

I made a static site recently and was very happy with the process.

Caltrain only has two grade crossings in San Francisco, neither have Muni trolley bus routes.

Is this up to date info? Last time I checked, all I could find was ~5-10 yo info that was estimated, not measured.

Heh a topic I'm not getting into until I have the ability to generate historical GTFS feeds (project #4 on my list).

IMO that branding was important though. It made it clear it was part of a regional system. Something we could use now, even if it's just a MTC Regional brand next to the operating agency.

I have the same curiosity. I'm guessing that BART just handed over responsibility for the lines to other agencies (who probably already operated them).

RIP BART express buses

Do you know of any articles going into details about how the system works or data is analyzed?

Would that be the same money that is betting on the trump regime being sustainable?

Listened in on the SFCTA Geary/19th Ave Subway town hall this evening, and can confirm. Their definition of "regionally connected" only includes interlining but not transfers. And their focus tonight was heavily favoring the regional path because of more funding availability.

Presumably you're not upgraded. This is what I got:

The concept maps don't show transfer stations with BART, so maybe that's why the ridership projections are low without interlining. Also what are we even doing here with this stop spacings. Some poor planner is probably aghast these got into the final slides and I'm dunking on them.

SFCTA says that they haven't made decisions about technology, but the focus on interlining means either BART or Link21-compatible (i.e., like Caltrain). BART would connect at Colma and not downtown SF due to difficulties branching off existing lines and operational reliability.

Unfortunately, they did not get to my question to clarify whether Muni Metro is considered "regionally connected" because it does not provide a one-seat ride out of SF.

It's absurd to suggest Muni Metro is not regionally connected rail.

Can we get a new update of Hanlon's Razor?

Never attribute to malice or ignorance what can be explained by incentives, avoidance, or structural dysfunction.

I have two uncles who respectively have lived in their houses for 54 and 56 years. Quietly cultivating the perfect real estate listing.

As a connoisseur of vintage real estate listings, I'm here for this. Show me the knob and tube wiring. Show me that Zinsco panel. Asbestos siding!? Loving it. Sorry no chance I'm making an offer, just here to dunk and/or trauma bond.

It was more like 90%. "But what if he really does have WMDs?" they'd say. "That PowerPoint presentation at the UN was pretty convincing" they'd say.

A separate Millbrae to SFO line would be a great pilot project for platform screen doors and automation of existing BART infrastructure.

Every building fire evacuation I've been part of, we're all standing at the evacuation meeting point when the first truck arrives.
