This guy Adam on YouTube is super entertaining. I discovered him while I was looking up videos about Amtrak and he has some good videos about Amtrak. But, he also does a lot of content where he goes camping in national parks -- and gets to the parks via trains and public transportation. He films himself during all these excursions and knowing how filming goes, he does a lot of walking the same trail twice to get shots. It's a lot of work and I appreciate the craftsmanship he puts into his videos.

His videos remind me a lot of a show I watched on the Discovery channel named Survivorman where the dude went out into the wild and filmed himself surviving.

I don't recommend YouTube channels in general, but Adam makes good content.

Having AI voices reading announcements in public transportation sounds so incredibly amateurish. Like the system is being run by cheap lazy bastards who don't know what they're doing. Especially when they pronounce things wrong. Like, do you even care about your own product? It's embarrassing.
