Candela flying #ferries to bring #commuters back #boats
Over 17kts she lifts above the water & then we fly at around 25kts
The 30-seat vessel rises smoothly above the surface, lifted by #hydrofoils controlled by onboard #computers
“When we lift the #boat, the drag from the water reduces 80 to 85 percent,” says the captain. “And we can charge this boat fully in approximately one hour.”

The Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) strike entered its third day, leaving New York City commuters scrambling to find alternative ways to reach work. Thousands of union workers returned to picket lines Monday, demanding pay raises that keep pace with inflation. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) deployed approximately 250 shuttle buses with around 13,000 seats, though only a small fraction of these were used during the morning rush. Negotiations between the unions and MTA saw little progress despite multiple sessions, with both sides trading proposals but remaining separated by less than two percentage points on the final year of a four-year contract. A major sticking point is the MTA's push for increased healthcare contributions for new hires, while unions emphasize that wages should rise to match inflation. Commuters have adapted by working from home, driving, or using subways and buses, though some faced significant inconveniences. Even if a deal were reached, service would take at least a day to resume fully due to necessary inspections and crew preparation. The strike is expected to have ripple effects on subway congestion and Long Island traffic, impacting the region until normal LIRR service is restored.

Daniel Buren's wall at Tottenham Court Road does most of the work for you. It's fifty feet of saturated circles and diamonds, all bouncing off those merciless black-and-white stripes. I just had to wait. Two strangers soon obliged: he slumped against a blue diamond mid-text, and she tucked into a green circle taking what looked like a fairly stoic phone call. Neither registered the technicolour cathedral behind them, which is the bit I love. London's at its best when an artwork worth […]
