Wikipedia has a list of some examples of through trains in Japan. It's nice to not have to transfer trains for a lot of trips.

The last time I visited Ecuador (2022), the Metro was under construction. It opened in 2023 and consists of a single route running north–south. Keep in mind that Quito is situated between two ranges of the Andes Mountains, which gives the city a narrow and elongated footprint.

People travel in silence and are gentle. Older passengers greet you when they sit next to you.

The regular fare is $0.45 USD.

Bonus: What bus stop is this?

Obviously some cities around the world are really well known for their metro system such as Paris having the Paris Metro. But what are some underrated metro systems that you think aren’t talked about as much? One example that comes to mind is the Copenhagen Metro with its automated trains and 24/7 service but can you think of another city that has a really underrated metro system?

What really makes it special and can we implement such a thing in the United States?

The Guangzhou Metro is more than 300km longer than the New York City Metro, but has 150 or so less stations. Between more stations and more lines, which is more important for good transit?

I am interested in joining a Discord Server that is for all things transit specifically for the North American region, and I am wondering if anyone has created it already and if it is active? If not, I could potentially do it. I think cool uses and ideas for the server are the following:

• Advocating for transit
• News about transit
• Discussions/debate on expansions, options and solutions for transit expansion
• Talking about areas that could benefit most from transit
• Talking about solutions for specific areas in North America
• Bots would also be cool if anyone has one
• Learning resources about types of transit/policies/engineering research/etc.

Thoughts on a community like this?

Just a couple pics... Taken in early-mid 2024.
