A/C over the weekend for the past 2 months or so hasn't gone past jay st in brooklyn or w 4 in manhattan, making it a huge pain in the rear end if you needed to be at fulton/chambers st (in manhattan) like i did idk if it affected other stations on the same line too, i just know it was a huge pain in the rear end while hungover at 7 am particularly because i'd forgotten alternate routes and the suggested one took me past wjere i needed to go and then back again (lol 5 transfers)

the weird thing about chicago having contactless is that the company that does it somehow managed to do a thing in their mobile app that lets you purchase and use commuter rail tickets from the app. going to laugh when some suburbanite gets in a fight with a ticket checker when they try to smugly purchase a rail ticket on the train they're on to evade the $3 'didn't buy a ticket at the station' surcharge and it doesn't work because Ogilvie/Union have lovely reception.

It's just amazing that in 2015 metra finally has an option that doesn't require punching a hole in a piece of paper like it's 1895. Looking forward to a future version of the app that will replace a separate ventra card.

i like how chicago will charge you extra if and only if you are leaving O'Hare on the Blue line, or if you're going to/from the bears game from the commuter rail station

24 hour subway systems are actually rare though. new york's is the only one i;ve personally seen except for tokyo on new years eve. tokyo doesn't usually run 24h, neither did london or madrid or beijing or hong kong or seoul or singapore or any others i've been to

one of the nice things about monthly rail pass is when ur downtown going home and you already went through the turnstile before figuring out that train is hosed you can be like later suckas i could check citymapper if i wasnt a lazy poo poo also apparently its common practice for homeless people to ask passholders to rescan their transit cards on the bus for them because the pass 'resets' 15 minutes after you use it.

Notorious b.s.d. posted:you're a hispanic muslim who works in bar? Malaysian. which is why living in a Hispanic neighborhood is hilarious because everybody thinks I'm the other kind of brown. also I loving hate uber but east Boston isn't bike accessible except through a truck road and crackhead salvage yard hotspot late at night so I have to cab it home. sucks but I make enough money that a 13 dollar cab ride isn't the worst. late night service owns because I can bike to the train, take it over the water and bike home in peace. in related news loving banner week for the MBTA. two jumpers, another guy pinned under a train, deadman switch on a train disabled, and the new extension plan is dead in the water. what poo poo.
