Am I the only one that can't unsee the boba chain with the same name, color, and circular logo?
The new look for Colorado’s front passenger train ‘COCO’ has been released! Meet the bold new look for Colorado’s future passenger rail system that will save Coloradans time and money when traveling across the Front Range. CoCo’s style is inspired by Coloradans and the spirit of our state. This is another exciting step toward connecting communities and making it easier to travel across our beautiful state.

BRT-style infrastructure for bus routes that aren’t officially designated as BRT should be more commonplace

Another view with buses + route display screen (different bus stop, but same idea). Photos from the previous semester when the area’s busiet Champaign is well-deserved in the top spots in CityNerd’s best small town/college town urbanism lists

How cleanly shoveled the sidewalk is after a snowstorm is a great way to tell if an apartment company or frat house are aholes or not (yes looking at you, blue roof building)

Another signage thing I appreciate: signing which side of the platform is for which direction before you reach the bottom of the escalator. Never seen this in other Chinese metros.

This is what the metro station that CNN called “post-apocalyptic” looks like now TOD is an overpowered drug

Fuzhou metro has a skill issue in running an express service pattern. Seeing “128 mins” on a Chinese metro countdown clock before a US metro wasn’t on my bingo card

The local trains are every 8 mins though, and are already express compared to the actual local metro lines. Still would be nice to see more express services though when the infill stations open (maybe to like every 15 mins?)

light rail tourist retweeted
see, it's just like having a real life zoomer tech employee: they won't complete a simple task when asked, and when asked again, they just want to talk about trains and japan
I asked chatGPT 5.0 to extract a table from a pdf, and it sent me a blank csv. When I complained, it responded by telling me about the Japanese subway system, which I was not discussing at all, and have never discussed.
