    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    The fare thing makes no sense. You dont need the paper ticket. The fare enforcement people can look at your charlie card history. All you need is a place to tap. They could set up 2 or 3 bus fare boxes and use those - theyve done this in the past at Fenway and Ashmont.

    If youve been watching war coverage, its amazing how many streets in both Ukraine and Russia have (had :cry: ) trolley wires.

    MBTA Buses & Infrastructure

    I would expect any analysis between electric and diesel operations to include projected costs for both. If they projected say 80 a barrel for the next ten years, their analysis needs to be thrown out

    Oil up another $10 since, uh, Friday. Did their cost analysis include gas/oil prices?

    MBTA Commuter Rail (Operations, Keolis, & Short Term)

    Philadelphia added the gates and for Amtrak, you need to show your ticket to the staff for them to open the gate. You have to do it twice to board SEPTA at 30th and get off downtown (Amtrak ticket entitled you to free transfer between the stations) SEPTA did add tap points at outer stations...

    BU Data Sciences Center | 665 Commonwealth Avenue | BU Central

    I dont love the facade but its much better than the renders for sure. That is a relief. The base looked like a parking garage in the renders. And it is interesting how its so different depending on the angle.

    MBTA Fare System (Charlie, AFC 2.0, Zone, Discounts)

    Charging $3 for a card is idiotic and I hope it gets slapped down hard on equity issues. It is basically saying if you have a credit card theres no fee, but if you pay cash its $3 extra

    Connected/Automated vehicles and infrastructure in Boston

    Until theres massive regression. This guy has been testing the same left turn since day 1 of FSD. Same exact turn every video. In his most recent video, it tries to kill him every time. Last month, it was doing pretty well.

    Connected/Automated vehicles and infrastructure in Boston

    Interesting video of Tesla FSD in San Diego. 2:40 runs red light 3:22 runs over bollards 6:25 tries to drive on rail line 7:45 bollards again he does this same loop every month, so another example of the AI failing to learn. The tracks arent moving, but it still doesnt understand.
