my proposal for portland centric high speed rail
you can immediately tell where an american urbanist is from by their high speed rail / intercity rail crayons. like oh yeah 1 new route for texas and 19 new routes for davenport, iowa

and chicago's. it's the same time period and same methodology so u can directly compare between chicago and melbourne (i think chicago's numbers look worse)

I animated Portland's transit schedule! With more than 2000 trips, here's nearly 8 hours bus and train (and aerial tram) in 90 seconds. From the beginning of the service day at 3 am, you can really see how how the city wakes up - and how transit powers it!

trimet's passenger info is generally good, but i think their directional and departure information at major hubs are a bit lacking. here's two of my ideas of how it could be better, based on PTV designs ^^^

first ride on Albuquerque's BRT: it is pretty rapid! and the priority and exclusive lanes are pretty good too. but the frequency is a bit lackluster (15 minutes combined), and the single track sections do limit frequency and reliability

Stoking anti-transit sentiment while deflecting from someone having valid policy criticisms is counterproductive to your responsibilities as a city commissioner. Making a statement like this supports rhetoric harmful to transit and reflects negatively on Portland.

trimet solved the sound transit escalator problem by not having a single escalator in the entire system
it’s been five hours since the 2-line opened (as of picture taken) and an escalator went kaput. nice job, sound transit

i finally managed to make trimet's ridership data into a machine readable form so - behold - trimet ridership heatmap!
- spring 2023 weekday data
- both ons and offs counted for each stop
- heat map point radius is 500m at-scale which i think is a resonable catchment area

bart numbers is kinda uhhh
I made a BART ridership map based on June 2024 ridership levels for recorded exits. Note that these are paid fares, some other agencies have automatic passenger counters, but BART uses recorded Clipper taps. This is also during the summer so some schools are not in session.

takeaway for me as someone semi familiar with melbourne:
- the hillside groups are really lightly used especially towards the end of the lines
- footscray. wow
- werribee is also more heavily used than i pictured
- stony point lmao
