Would an Electric Bicycle count as a vehicle?

The South Shore Line tried a mask optional car until September 2020 early in the pandemic when they were trying to avoid confrontations with passengers when local mask ordinances in some of the 4 Indiana counties plus the City of Chicago trains go through were just suggestions and not mandatory...

IndyGo is really trying with the Marion Transit Plan. They have a good dedicated lane BRT line and some more under construction with off board fare collection and actually got an Income Tax Hike that's helping to fund their bus system passed in 2016 (a big deal in Indiana).

Indiana does have a Commuter Railroad that is actively expanding with a decent amount of state and local funding. The South Shore Line's Double Track and West Lake Corrudor Projects are both under construction

The Hudson Line also has such lower ridership than the New Haven Line that I think it would be super hard to justify the cost to build and divert some of its service into Penn Station. It also has better connections to subways to the West Side than the New Haven Line via its (albeit slow and...

Doesn't the daul-type third rail shoes also mean that MNR equipment could enter the LIRR west side yard if they need to for train storage?

Grandby has (I believe) free transit bus service to Winter Park so in theory you could go include Grandby on a trip to those resorts

The UP West Line trains used to terminate in Genevia before they were extended to Elburn in 2006, that has seen continuous commuter rail service first as the Chicago & Northwestern Commuter Service before the UP bought them out in the mid 90s.

If your trying to save the AirTrain fee the way is to take the Q10 or Q10 LTD from the other A branch at Lefferts Blvd, or the B15 from New Lots Avenue, the end of the 3 train. Both the B15 and Q10 LTD take you either to Lefferts Blvd or near the JetBlue Terminal for all 3.

For awhile (pre-COVID 2018 to 2019) Pret would stay open until the Lake Shore Limited departed but on Weekdays only, I remember I was so excited that I could get something other than McDonalds on q quick run up to the food court on our normally tight connections from O'Hare to the Blue Line to...

JIS, thanks for all the answers! Didn't realize the Morristown Line is the same voltage as the east end of the NEC. I do remember once seeing and photographing the Clockers with NJT ALP46s back in 2004 it was a unique site.

Couple things. The line is already electrified with overhead wire as far as Dover under a different voltage than the Northeast Corridor. I assume the plan is to use dual mode trains. Just curious do the ACS-64s handle the voltage of the Morristown Line, Amtrak trains don't normally run there...

I don't know if this normally happens for Amtrak routes but one reason to reschedule the train now before the extension begins regular is to be able to run stimiluated service on the new schedule as needed without passengers on the new route for crew familiarization and other forms of testing...

The last time I road the CONO (and only the time the full legth leaving Chicago), they served a 'light dinner' of Sandwiches and dessert leaving Chicago, that was at the end of 2016, no idea whats going on today.

The direct connection is actually by using the mezzanine through the A,C,E 8th Avenue subway station, you don't need to swipe into the subway but will go right by the Express platform's turnstiles. The reason that there isn't better connectivity is that the 8th Avenue subway lines (the station...

I'll never forget the time i joked wity myswlf "Im leaving Chicago sitting on a toilet" while sitting in the Southwest Cheif's Superliner Accessible Bedroom that we had booked for my partners disabled father. My partner and I had a Rommette booked for ourselves but the most obvious place for a...

A number of years ago (about 7) my Dad and I were skiing at Squaw Valley without a car and finished our trip on the evening Thruway Bus from Trukee that used to connect to the last Capitol Corridor train in Sacramento (I know this trip from Reno was discontinued not long after). He was...

Ignore anything old and archived regarding mask mandates on Transportation in the USA before January 29, 2021 when the Federal Mask mandate went into effect. The only exceptions today which went into effect in June are on transportation that's fully outdoors, like on the outdoor deck of a ferry...

Raleigh had one in the old station, I visited it when I had Select+ Status when I was waiting on a Peidmont Train that was running about an hour late (some issue in the train yard). It reminded me of the small lounge in St. Louis. Maimi I think had something to do with the planned (but never...

Your welcome I remember it confused me the first time I bought a multi-city ticket but that was back in 2011 before eTickets and I wasn't at all worried about it since the Amtrak agent or Quick Track machine would always print out a ticket successfully for each segment of my trip. I used to do...
