@djsumdog @kaniini Portland is also extremely unlikely to introduce MAX cars that have end doors thanks to several intersections and locations on the line that requires the driver to have visibility forward, left and right at the same time (mostly the Bus mall, western approaches to the Steel Bridge, and the Yamhill-Morrison couplet have locations trains must stop and look before proceeding).

@djsumdog @kaniini Portland's at a point where fare collection and enforcement is now costing more than fare revenue brings in. It won't surprise me at all if Portland drops fares entirely as a cost savings measure.

@djsumdog @kaniini TransLink, formerly BCTransit's Greater Vancouver District, also has fully automated trains, and has since 1985. BART is running on equipment that is basically powered by Amigas and took them *a long time* to modernize, prompted mostly because they kept burning out 30 year old computers from a company that no longer exists, and it was before the retrocomputing scene really came online.

@djsumdog @kaniini Basically BART's at a peak in car count right now and I expect as the last remaining older cars that are still kicking burn out and get tossed in the ocean in the NYMTA's artificial reef (which, yeah, why not scrap them for resources like EVERY OTHER RAIL CAR??) BART will hit a car count trough until more cars are ordered in the future.

@djsumdog @kaniini Yeah, I kinda think that was *the idea* the whole time. Like, half a dozen? Sure, quirky diver attraction. But when it goes to levels like this...and this is only one of nearly 100 bargeloads dumped over the last century from New York alone, much less cars shipped in from other cities like San Francisco, and pretty much all of the continent's PCC cars that aren't still in operation...

@tk Reminds me of some of the rural Kansas toll cycleways, but with better signage.

@tk I can't help but to think that railroad gantry could be reused to mount a four-way signal assembly for the cycleway and the cross street.

Looking forward to tonight's CBS News debate between Trump (but smart and actually rich), Diet Trump, Gay Trump, Mrs. Trump, Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders.

#Bloomberg is delusional if he thinks that he beat anyone else in last week's debate.

Oh come on, #Buttigieg, you know better than to try to high road #Sanders, especially since you probably wouldn't even be in office at all if it weren't for the doors he helped open.

@kaniini Oh man, that's rough. Mattermost just seems to be a mutually incompatible remix of Telegram.

@djsumdog @kaniini Maybe? Either way, a 15 year old jabber client and an ejabberd instance is going to do the same thing, plus more, and have more flexibility.

Dark mode, but it turns all toots into dark humor.
