Pretty ashamed of these train frequencies on a Saturday night
And I guess service might be cut further

Cubic, the horrible monopoly that owns the Clipper transit payment system in the Bay Area, didn’t pay their bills and caused a 27 hour problem with fare gates

‘Zero Credibility’: Major Clipper Outage Caused by Cubic’s Failure to Pay AT&T Bill | KQED
A 27-hour Clipper outage last month brought down BART ticket vending machines and caused delays at fare gates.Azul Dahlstrom-Eckman (KQED)
Situation resolved + now we know how to get a car out of a light rail station. And it was a Utah plate, not an Arizona one.

Unreasonably excited to do the first leg of travel up to Seattle today all on public transit. Bus (Petaluma Transit, free!) → Train (SMART train) → Microtransit (SMART Connect)

RER C
RER trains are kind of like Caltrain + BART put together
(It’s a commuter rail train but also functions as rapid transit)..
Most of their lines carry more people per hour than Caltrain does per day in the entire system :)
Transit experiences on this entire trip:
I’ve not had to get a physical transit card anywhere. I used to enjoy collecting those, but yeah it’s annoying when you’ve got leftover $ in a card for a place you won’t return to and won’t have time to get a refund.
1. LA: TAP card inside iOS Wallet app (just added $10, each ride was 1.75 ish on LAMetro and buses)
2. Albuquerque: buses were free on ART bus
3. Atlanta: just tapped my credit card directly on MARTA
4. Philadelphia: just tapped my credit card directly on SEPTA
5. New York City: you can get OMNY cards but you can also just tap a credit card directly on the turnstile
6. London: you can tap a credit card directly instead of getting an Oyster card
7. Paris: you can get a Navigo card in your phone and buy passes
I’ve been to most of those places before and Paris was by far the most challenging for a visitor previously (you had to stand in line at specific stations only to get a Navigo physical card with a passport photo..) so this is a welcome change

Transit is so much easier now with Navigo in the wallet app
Unlike most other places where you add to its ‘stored value’ and run it down, you get ‘passes’ or one off tickets for each ride. Or a pack of 10

The train I take the most when I’m in Paris (RER B)
EUR 14 one way leaving CDG
Much cheaper when taking it from inside Paris

90% of public transit I’ve taken in my life (in duration and frequency) have been double decker buses exactly like these (I took them to school every day in Singapore since I was 7)

I really like cities that are best by bus. I love the Tube, but London buses are very familiar to me (mostly coz we’ve got similar buses and bus routes in Singapore / Hong Kong). For local travel I prefer buses, most places.
Buses don’t have to suck (they’re so good in places where they’re good!)

15. So many different types of trains!
I don’t really understand all the many different trains and operators yet but I think these are different commuter rail systems that go to different places

Thameslink train from Gatwick

13. Inside of the Long Island Railroad (best way to get to JFK airport)
$5.25 from Atlantic Terminal to Jamaica, then $8 from Jamaica to JFK (on the AirTrain)
“With an average weekday ridership of 336,300 passengers in 2025, it is the busiest commuter railroad in North America. It is also one of the world's few commuter systems that run 24/7 year-round.”

More New York subway.
The 7 train goes to the largest one of the biggest hubs of Chinese food outside of East Asia (Flushing, Queens). Way more regional variety than most places.

11. Northeast Regional train to New York City
It stops at Newark airport on the way to New York City.
If I lived here I guess I would be on this often. The Acela costs more and is a little bit faster, but I haven’t ridden it yet
10. Took my first SEPTA bus in Philly from the airport. Pretty easy. (Bus 37)

9. MARTA bus at the King Memorial MARTA Center in Atlanta, a great way to get to the King Center by transit
Tickets are around $2.50 with free 2 hour transfer

Don’t have a fun fact, but wow these trains are really old

7. ART (rapid transit) bus no 766 red line bus from downtown Albuquerque station near the Amtrak station.
Seems like their buses are fare-free.
Was kind of hard to find the bus stop (poor signage, closed sidewalks, no pedestrian crossing signs..) but I made it.
Fun fact: I don’t know any about NM or Albuquerque or transit here. Will update when I find out more
The bus is almost exactly the same as the AC Transit 1T in Oakland

I’ve got my Aeropress, but frankly on a train I don’t always want to deal with the whole process.
I have emergency drip coffee bags of good coffee. They seem much more popular in Asia (most Asian specialty coffee places in Taiwan, Singapore, Seoul will carry a variety of these. And in fact I got these from a Korean coffee shop in LA)
