Analog Coffee will open a new location in Westlake, taking over the former Starbucks drive-thru at the AGC Building, according to recent documents filed with the City of Seattle.

I'm trying a new thing: Automatically posting updates when new transit lines open around the world. Follow @thetransportpolitic.com if you want to know when new transit lines open around the world.

Agreed! I also want to believe in the good of our public agencies but they aren't monoliths and can be wrong.

I can see that. I suppose I approach this from a unique perspective as public sector employee who recognizes salaries and service dollars come from the same shrinking pot of money. We need less austarity in govnerment.

Haha, I'm in a public sector union. But I'm against misinformation. Keep on, blank profile with no identifying information.

I may be missing it, but do these show bus stop locations or just the route numbers?

More examples of boarding maps I've photographed through my travels (or found on agency sites).

What I'm looking for is basically the little map in the bottom right that shows the locations of bus stops and pathways to/from them. Thanks!

Crowdsourcing time. Anybody have photos of boarding maps/transit center maps/station area maps from different transit systems? I'm looking to collect as many examples as I can for a project. Thanks in advance!

Metro's percentage is surprisingly low because most operators aren't able to take transit to work (far flung bases, early/late hours).

Seattle voters voted it down because it was just a hand out to greedy developers who would turn the neighborhood into a soulless district with glass tech towers...

I wrote about who is actually making America “poorer and dirtier.” It’s not immigrants. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Who is responsible for this terrible state of affairs? The opposition party and immigrants, apparently. Vance went on to say, “The Democrat legacy of the last few years was that they bankrupted our country and left us poor. They left our country weaker. They left our border wide open and our communities less safe.”

But this account represents a preposterous inversion. Almost every problem Vance lists, the Trump administration has made worse.

The administration’s environmental policies have made American water and air dirtier. Its health-care, tariff, and tax policies have worsened inflation and increased the financial burden on most American households, even as incomes have grown. And its public-health policies have led to outbreaks of contagious disease.
