CNBC reports: New York's transit future in jeopardy? The MTA is taking legal action against the Trump administration for allegedly withholding $60M crucial to NYC's Second Avenue Subway project. This vital expansion is intended to improve commutes for over 100,000 daily riders and add three new stations. Understand the implications for public infrastructure by reading the full story. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/17/trump-lawsuit-newyork-subway-project.html #Infrastructure #PublicTransit #NYC #MTA

Right, just shipped off a polite and reasonably detailed email to the Transport Minister, because looking into this I’ve also found other important issues involving SmartRider Contactless.

Seems the PTA has done a half-arsed job on the backend too.

Heads up - If you’ve travelled on Transperth using Contactless payment since its launch, check if you’ve been charged for your Sunday travel.

If you have, send an email to [email protected], advising of the incorrect charge and seeking a refund. Include details of where you tapped on and off, and ONLY the last Four Digits of your card (or Apple Pay/Google Pay card number if you tapped with your phone).

Seems there’s a known bug causing it.

Why Free Transit Is A Bad Idea (In Most Cities)

Good timing for NACTO (an association of North American #cities and #transit agencies formed to exchange #transportation ideas, insights, and practices and cooperatively approach national transportation issues) to have its 2026 Designing Cities conference in #Minneapolis, May 12-15. https://events.bizzabo.com/designingcities2026?mc_cid=7556cbed44&mc_eid=9ab2822fa2

As Thomas L. Friedman suggested in March 15 column “Why Minnesota Matters More Than Iran for America’s Future”:
"For anyone outside of #Minnesota who wants to help, the best thing you can do is #vacation in the #TwinCities or hold your next #convention here.”

Designing Cities 2026: Minneapolis

The annual NACTO Designing Cities Conference brings together over 1,000 people passionate about advancing the state of transportation in North American cities—engineers, planners, government agency leaders, elected officials, advocates, and other transportation professionals of all career levels. In 2026, we will be hosted by our member, Minneapolis. We look forward to bringing the NACTO movement together from May 12 to May 15 for another great event!

That’s fun - had to get off at Stirling Station to give a quick informant statement to the Transit Guards.

Male on the train going off his head because he didn’t like a look someone gave him.

To say he then escalated even worse would be an understatement. None of it was helped by some uninvolved passengers getting involved and making the situation even worse.
