BART just set a new ridership record! We carried 254,248 trips yesterday. That’s our highest ridership day since the pandemic, a record we have been breaking again and again this year as more people want to take transit. Thread ⬇️

Seoul is aiming for 500 autonomous buses in their public transit network by 2030. They will be 11m long (longer than the one in this image looks to me). Not surprised that this fast-aging country is leading on this. koreatimes.co.kr/southkorea/…

I made an interactive map of every passenger rail line in the world. High-speed rail, commuter rail, metro systems, trams, even Disney monorails, including in countries like Russia, China, and North Korea where Apple Maps lacks coverage. trains.theojaffee.net

Crime against BART riders is down 67% per million trips since the end of 2024! It’s been one year since BART finished installing Next Generation Fare Gates at all 50 stations. Since then, we’ve seen significant changes across the system.

Skyline is now averaging well over 13K riders per day, hitting a peak 14K riders last week. 14K equates to a 316% increase in ridership compared to average weekly ridership of 3400 riders a year ago (prior to AGS’ opening).
