Trolley bus in Vilnius #publictransport #trolleybus #Vilnius #Lithuania

Spent a day in #Seattle yesterday. We stayed in Pioneer Square neighborhood. The transit day pass made travelling to different areas very convenient. You need to buy an ORCA ($3). The day pass is $6. Regular fare is $3. There are many buses along 3rd Ave. Even riding a couple of stops saves some walking. There's still a lot of walking including some steep hills. Tourism boards and transit agencies should promote this option to visitors. #PublicTransport #tourism

🧵 12/21 https://www.visitstockholm.com/travel-info/public-transportation-in-stockholm/ To get to Rinkeby and Drottningholm, I used public transport. The underground train system was easy to understand and use, and the trains were clean and comfortable. Using the bus was a little more challenging, but the transportation workers were happy to help me. Individual tickets were not cheap, and concessions to the elderly and young notwithstanding, I wondered how big of an expense commuting is for those working in Stockholm. SL, the transportation authority for the city, makes much of the public art in the underground stations. I did not go to enough stations to take in this part of the system. I did, however, get the impression that less of the wall space in the system is covered with advertising compared to the Underground in London or the Metro in Paris. That fleeting impression of mine could be mistaken though. Even though I did not use it much, I was glad to see that Stockholm has an efficient and comprehensive public transport system. How much of a problem is car use in Stockholm? How many people in Stockholm and Sweden in general have fallen under the malign spell of the oversized US style SUV? #Sweden #Stockholm #Transit #PublicTransport #Cars #SUV #SL

anyway, here is a map from NOS of the identified sabotage locations. It's interesting that they *don't* include the Amsterdam-Den Haag-Rotterdam coastal corridor. #netherlands #publictransport #trains

holy %+/= the Dutch train system just announced they are being sabotaged: piles of junk dropped across several different tracks simultaneously #netherlands #trains #publictransport

East Coast summer by public transport only: Long Island to New England by train, bus and ferry https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/02/travel/long-island-new-england-trip-train-bus-ferry.html A self-described transit romantic set out to visit prime summer destinations using only public transportation. Would getting there really be half the fun? #travel #us #publictransport

One of the Budapest subways got shut down today... because a boar walked in. It happened downtown, at the Parliament station. This is not a metaphor. No one knows where the boar came from 😆 #Budapest #Hungary #PublicTransport

The new tram project in Lausanne and Renens promises to bring significant momentum to the city center. It offers an eco friendly way to travel and commute. However, it is concerning that the tram tracks are surrounded by concrete. Basel has demonstrated a more sustainable approach by planting grass between the rails, which not only looks beautiful but also likely helps reduce the urban heat island effect. It is hoped that Lausanne will consider similar green initiatives in its future projects. #PublicTransport #Sustainability #Lausanne

The first passenger run of the new G class tram today. And what a morning! Starting at Essendon Depot there was a media conference and gathering of politicians, project staff, drivers and many others to celebrate the big day. The first new tram class for Melbourne since the E class, these medium capacity trams will initially run on the route 59, followed by the 57 and 82. We rode it down to Flinders Street before it turned back to head up to Essendon Depot. It performed admirably and will be a great addition to the network. #Melbourne #Trams #MelbourneTrams #PublicTransport #Transit

Lucky me, I got the upstairs front window seat on this morning's bus ride. Whau River mouth looking beautiful, and even the motorway looks pretty with the golden dawn light. #river #WhauRiver #publicTransport #Auckland #TamakiMakaurau #bus #somethingBeautiful #aucklandscenes

Łódź, Cmentarz Ogrodowa. Kolejne ujęcie z bardzo małym tramwajem, ale tym razem nie bez powodu. Jak widać, tramwaj tu kończy - ale tory idą dalej. Jeszcze przez kilometr, do nieczynnej obecnie krańcówki Koziny. "Obecnie" trwa już ładnych parę lat. W ogóle trasa na Koziny nie miała szczęścia, bo odkąd interesuję się komunikacją, należała do najczęściej zawieszanych w mieście. Wielkorotnie rozważano też jej likwidację - bo to taki krótki cycek przy całej sieci, niepołączony z niczym od lat 70., kiedy to przy budowie niegdysiejszej obwodnicy (alei Włókniarzy) odcięto go od drugiej strony, uniemożliwiając dalszą jazdę na północ. I tak to sobie gniło i się degenerowało, chociaż na końcu znajduje się średniej wielkości osiedle. W końcu zgniło do tego stopnia, że ostatecznie trasę zamknięto - ale przy okazji odbudowy centrum przywrócono ogryzek do kompleksu zabytkowych cmentarzy, wracając tym samym do stanu z...1903 roku (ta trasa była jednym z pierwszych rozszerzeń łódzkiej sieci tramwajowej). Onecnie jesteśmy na etapie, gdzie przynajmniej na papierze dalsza część na Koziny ma być odtworzona, razem z odbudową skrętu we Włókniarzy. Czas jednak leci, a miasto czeka na dewelopera, który przy okazji budowy kompleksu bloków rozdupcył w jednym miejscu podbudowę torowiska. Coś mi mówi, że jeszcze poczekamy... #komunikacjamiejska #tramwaj #lodz #publictransport

It's been a while since I had a window seat & it has been light enough to take photos: Whau River mouth at around dawn, with the tide in & boats moored. The water is calm, the sky is mostly clear with a few clouds, and the light has gone golden on the horizon. #river #WhauRiver #publicTransport #Auckland #TamakiMakaurau #bus #somethingBeautiful #aucklandscenes
