Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 09/10/2026It turns out that people using your referral link for apta Expo has its benefits. they gave me a $166 gift card 1110
Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 08/10/2026If/when that contract is up for a renewal, anyone with a brain would push for a better user experience 010
Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Genuinely whats keeping them from just saying "ok you can still do an external wrap for the same cost but you can't cover the windows 160
Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Adobe PDF library. Theres a chance its slopped up, but it'd be copilot produced not anthropic 020
Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Developers! Metra will be rolling out GTFS and GTFS-RT changes! assets.metra.com/s3fs-public/...assets.metra.com 2173
Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 07/10/2026You do realize economically disadvantaged people are eligible for reduced or free transit cards, right? Faregates that prevent fare evaders would not prevent people who need the rides from getting them. 290
Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I had this happen to me once while working as a conductor for Metra on the UPW. We would typically have 50-100 passengers but ended up with a whopping...3. Caused by holdover trainmasters from UP that didn't care about anything. 000
Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Absolutely incredible. One of the APTA shuttle buses was double parked on michigan blocking traffic 090
Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Something like that yeah. Also interesting thing, we're finally getting airbags on a district that isnt the MED 020
Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 06/10/2026No this one does have trucks, but I think it moreso has to do with the 3rd set being the 1st one to be built with 4 cars from the start so it'll be 100% complete first. 110
Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Yup Pueblo but also it wont be this one, it'll be 2003. 110
Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 06/10/2026If we were a proper country the LA metro area would look like Conqing. 010
Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Hopefully they have some reps there in the afternoon or something. Presumably at a minimum it'll stay there overnight between the 14th and 15th? I have no clue tho tbh 110
Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 06/10/2026People like Andrew have no clue what its like to get off work and be exhausted and sore and still have to get home while the sun comes up hating everything about your life. I wanna see brochacho transfer 600lbs of tile between a shelf to a floor pallet and then pull it on a jack across a warehouse. 180
Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Per ABC7 reporting, the FLIRT will be at Lasalle on the 14th and 15th of this month abc7chicago.com/post/metra-s...abc7chicago.comMetra shows off new battery-powered train at Chicago conferenceMetra is showing off a new battery-powered train at a big transit expo in Chicago Monday. 2387
Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 06/10/2026They dont have them on display or anything and seemingly the number they have is limited. 040
Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Rizzed up the stadler booth people and they gave me a beach towel???? 4705
Reposted by Lettuce CatAmerican Public Transportation Association @apta-info.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Good morning from APTA TRANSform & EXPO in Chicago! Today we started before sunrise and transit workers from hosts Metra, @chicagocta.bsky.social, and Pace made it possible to get the city moving and 12,000+ #aptaEXPO attendees to the world’s biggest public transportation show. www.aptaexpo.com 0122
Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I feel like im hallucinting. Its 3 stops between armitage and tower 18, not 4 right? 140
Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I wish I had the programming skillset to pull this off. Unfortunately i do not. I've tried a few times now, but my beloved javascript struggles with skeletonization. 120
Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 02/10/2026It certainly doesn't help that google has way too wide of a line spacing, but also the fact that they almost never consolidate lines (by default i wanna say both apple and transit do it for regional/commuter/intercity rail (gtfs type 2)). 010
Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Honestly this along with properly enforcing the city sticker would be great 050
Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Did a deeper dive into this and...wow...this is a security nightmare. 050
Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 30/09/2026this is also by far the worst Transit tracker I have ever used. ever. 1110
Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I downloaded the app kind of hoping it might mention it there, but even funnier it doesn't mention Transit at all, at least in the obvious places of course they're running a fucking shuttle service that will likely be worse than just taking a Michigan avenue bus to Randolph and then the MED down 2100

Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 30/09/2026ORD is up 6.1% YTD for total passengers, with more growth actually being international. Cargo tonnage is also up 1+% and aircraft operations is up a whopping *10%*! 000
Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Finally got July ORD and August DFW numbers. DFW is pretty damn close to 2025 ORD numbers (<500k) while ORD's current year 2nd place stays strong. I could clearly see ORD taking 1st place (within the US at least) when the new concourse opens in a few years. 120

Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I think we should tell anyone wanting that to pound sand 131
Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 29/09/2026IIRC MN didn't buy into the midwest equipment pool, so the latter is seemingly unlikely, though once amtrak figures out axle requirements stuff on the river runner, they should have some spare baggage cars sitting around. 000
Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Well, probably a good instance of this happening. Outbound red + outbound yellow + inbound red 010
Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Like a dedicated car for bikes and people (does not exist) or just a baggage car (exists, but not on the train)? 100
Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Damn why wasnt this guy the secondary qb, hes fucking great! 010
Lettuce Cat @piero.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Well, <= 8y3m, but yes. Either way service improvements are coming, with the biggest limiting factor being from lack of equipment in the US right now. 130
