Gothamite Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Milwaukee Loving everything about this honestly. To think what a great city this could be if (a.) the suburbanites could get the fugg over their knee-jerk prejudices of the poor/minorities, and (b.) Milwaukee's own baby boomer establishment could accept that this is the 21st century and stop trying to drag the younger generations kicking and screaming back to 1957.Agreed on all points.

The_Admiral Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 On the topic of suburban Milwaukee, can I say that eastern Waukesha County, like Muskego and New Berlin, is really really weird? The city limits are just big squares, and nothing seems to be laid out with any rhyme or reason to it. It's just big curving roads, and sometimes there's a bank, and sometimes there are houses, but nothing is even close to centralized. I had to get to their high school once in the days before GPS and I was like Spinal Tap backstage. Just took every possible wrong turn. Must be a Republican paradise. Planning is for commies. I can see how people who live there wouldn't want mass transit. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dayne Amaze Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 THE BART BABYNot the most complex of systems, but definitely covers a large area of the Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayne Amaze Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 A really great system that covers the Westside, North, Eastside and South of the city of Calgary. Could be one of the most efficient and well-planned out in the country. I live close to Westbrook station, and from Westbrook to Sunalta its entirely underground and very reminiscent of San Francisco's BART tunnels. Pretty cool.

Dayne Amaze Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 That map doesn't nearly enough do the talk of how widespread Calgary is either. Somerset-Bridelwood is a good 35 minute drive from downtown.C-Train is hella annoying sometimes. Especially after Flames/Stamps games, but it does a good job.There are talks that there will be a Southeast line extending all the way to the new south hospital, and a north central line that will run up Deerfoot Trail, eventually hooking up with that long discussed high-speed rail between here and Edmonton. Also, discussions of putting a subway line beneath 8th Avenue (South of the Downtown C-Train line), utterly pointless, the entire thing was supposed to be built under ground, congestion Downtown would easily benefit from that.This is like 15 years in the future.Something like this. Probably more fantasy, but give it another 40 years, could look similar to this. Wow! Imagine that.. Richmond Road definitely needs to be connected somehow in the future as well as MRU. That's an amazing concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 They need to drop the Purple Line stop at Wellington. Really gets in the way of alleging to run express.

The_Admiral Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I'm sorry, but my feeble mind isn't processing what you're saying. Doesn't the Purple Line run on the same track whether it makes that stop or not? I've never used the Purple Line, so I can't say firsthand. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never used the Purple Line, so I can't say firsthand.Well its possible but there is a chance that a PLX gets stuck behind a Brown Line local.Therefore if the PLX were to skip Wellington and Diversey,it would have to switch to the middle Red line track and in order for it to go to the Loop from the Red Line track it has to switch back to the Brown line track.Instead of doing this the CTA makes the Purple Line stop at Wellington and Diversey.

The_Admiral Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Interesting. I like the idea of rail transit, but I can't handle the logistics of it all offhand. There's so much to coordinate! I hope we get the Yellow Line extension to Old Orchard. The Red Line extension to 130th feels like the right thing to do. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanMcD29 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 hoo boy, the NJ Transit/MTA/PATH regional transit diagram that came out for Super Bowl weekend purposes is somethinghttp://www.njtransit.com/pdf/regional_transit_diagram.PDFMy favorite personally is telling customers coming from JFK to take the subways at Jamaica rather than the LIRR Twitter: @RyanMcD29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
