On the same day as Open Hackerspace Day, Seattle has the big ceremonial opening of their 2 line. #seattle #transit #lrt

This is supposedly a world’s first: "the world’s first train on a floating bridge”.
The main improvement is that it links the two sides of the lake: Eastside, where Bellevue and Redmont are located is now connected to the rest of Seattle.

Puzzled. Usually the LRT is packed at 9am. Did I miss the holiday? Has a work from home order been imposed? Or is this train going to stop halfway and throw us out lol

Anyway, due to the energy crisis I am taking public transport more. But that's pretty normal for me. I only drive around where I live and long distances I take public transport.

I am going to Penang today. Usually I will fly but I decided to take the train to Penang instead. I am concerned about flight delays and cancellations when I return.

On the whole, life is pretty normal in Malaysia, however. The govt has told civil servants to wfh, the amount of subsidised fuel a Malaysian can take had been reduced. Otherwise no rush or massive queus at the petrol station and none have run out.

I am watching a video of the Line 5 Eglinton Crosstown. It doesn't look like signal priority is fully rolled out yet here. The speed on the above ground section is comparable to the buses. But I do notice they are treating the line as a proper service frequency befitting for Toronto, with trains every 2 to 3 minute at 10:30AM, compared to every 6-12 mins for Finch West. So good job on the TTC for that. I expect more improvements in the next months.

#lrt it's just a typo but I love the idea that there are many readers who are "19th-century Americans" and thus all too familiar with the pathologies of the present. Time is a flat circle.
3 LRT cars are sitting idle in the west end. Why can't they be redeployed?
