#transit enthusiast, poor gamer, general nerd

unreasonably interested in RTAs and random obscure transit: ask me how to get somewhere with only local transit

- #exo is redesigning its presqu'île network with the incoming anse à l'orme rem branch. not many changes besides buses going to anse à l'orme instead of côte vertu, in particular weekend service remains as terrible as always

#montreal transit tidbits:
- the #stl is facing a severe bus shortage and cancelling 60 trips a day on weekdays https://stlaval.ca/network/alerts
- the #rtl is redesigning service in the rst and mno sectors of brossard, mostly involving streamlining more frequent service onto fewer corridors and replacing some lesser used routes with expansion of microtransit along the waterfront

Real vibey out here waiting for my @[email protected] train in the fog. Vibe intensified by the malfunctioning platform lighting and amped up by the unexpected third rail arcing.

@jacktatttran.bsky.social the 71 and 73 have historically boarded in the lower level of the harvard busway, where the platform is on the left. following the phasing out of the dedicated trackless trolley fleet (with left hand doors) in 2022, buses have had to board in the upper busway, head the wrong way out of the station, and loop back toward the south to continue west, which the t would like to avoid by ordering some of their bebs with left hand doors.

some other funny things: spying on two buses at north cambridge garage (one 4300, one 4200) and the next stop screen being confused by the (rather long-term) mt auburn st detour. it's long enough term that it's in gtfs, so the screens really ought to acknowledge it. would've also gone to charlestown garage and spied on the bebs there but the path behind the garage wasn't shoveled.

oh also don't forget that these buses have auxiliary diesel heaters
