what was the EXACT day did the DC metro open? I want to be there for it's 50th anniversary

Denver RTD is the NYC of Lightrails

I love LRT'S! ♥🥰

Keep up the good work making new videos!

I was unlocking my hidden memories watching this

The thing I love about out light rail here in Minnesota is the fact that we’re the only ones running the Bombardier Talent flexity swift lf-70(Our Type 1 Bombardiers) and there’s legit no train that comes close to looking like our rolling stock is mad crazy and on the other hand we have the Siemens S70& S700 which every Transit system is flocking to get😂

It was 1897 not 1888.

There’s more silver line you know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For context, Paris region has 12 million people and this LA's "Metro" is PEANUTS compared to Paris's. 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

I remember feeling brilliant when I discovered that a monthly 1A pass cost the same as a regular system monthly pass. Before Boston Landing opened, I shaved 40 minutes off my commute by going from Back Bay to Yawkey and grabbing a bus from there. I have a very special place in my heart for the commuter rail.

I wonder if they would consider Cape Flyer service on Thursdays and Mondays?

why are station names so long

It's a great system for a great city but it needs to switch to Battery Electric Multiple Units and Electrification when possible!

open since 2023 nov

MARTA now plans on extending their system into places like Buford, Lawrenceville, Duluth, Lilburn, Kennesaw, and Marietta, in anticipation of the growing population in those areas

It stops at pawtucket Central Falls

on September 19 2023 City Hall Station was renamed to City Hall/Bow Valley College Station

As a person living in the boston area I can't believe how my town of Dedham went from having 6 stations to only 2 today,

Why the fascination with Calgary Transit? 🤔 It's not the best in the world. It is not even in the top ten. To get a better picture of Canadian transit system, we should take a look at Vancouver and Toronto transit systems. They are more efficient and better than Calgary Transit. Sorry.

A SORRY SYSTEM that goes ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE..... A waste of money.

I can say i worked on the 10th street west all the way too 69th mark nerysoo, i do have pictures

Two new lines and one expansion were not mentioned. Both the San Fernando Valley and the Southeast Gateway lines have had their final EIRs approved and should start construction in 1 or 2 years. The extension of the East LA E line section further East should have it's final EIR approved ahortly as well. Starting construction in about 2 years. These three projects should be done within 8-10 years from now. Very exciting. We'll have 10 lines by then. 6 light rail, 2 subway, and 2 BRTs if not more. It could be 11 lines if the Sepulveda Pass line could sneak in there, too if it gets fast tracked adding a 3 heavy rail subway line to the mix. It would make LA Metro the second largest metro system in the USA behind NYC. To increase the number of rail lines by 50% in 10 years would be amazing!

The people criticizing Houston for not have a larger light rail system should do a little research on the politics of transit in that city and the powerful people in the US Congress who cut off funding specifically to prevent expansion of the system. I suggest they google Tom Delay and John Culberson. To the people who keep saying Houston should stop building freeways: It’s the State of Texas that designs, locates and builds those freeways.

what do you think of the recent massive bus map redo in philly.

Do one about the Oregon Light Rail system ran by Trimet.

If commuter trains cant connect North station with South station with commuter rails why cant they just make a shuttle that goes from Middleborough then splits onto downtown crossing then continues on cambridge then connects with OL and GL and Amtrak to north station

New video when

Thanks for the update on this Greater Golden Horseshoe transit expansion project. Would love to see you make more stuff. Your work is great. Thanks for all you do.

…initial sections opened in June 1996. That plus serving a population of over 6 million makes this an awful, well, train wreck. Its good something had developed - but wow they have a long way to go - and light rail is not going to be enough to accommodate major volumes of passengers in the long term - if the majority of people switched to using transit, for example.

🚊I wish there was spread the light rail from Phoenix area to Flagstaff. They can make stops and places like blank Canyon.

This map needs an update. So much inconsistent decisions by politicians changed the outcomes of the future plans (which are now history). We got to see the peak of the colored lines: A, B, C, D, E, G, J, K, and L. And the K Line will go it's original route plan from like 2008 with southern terminus at Redondo Beach. The C Line will realign to LAX/Metro TC (Aviation/96th)

To not run out of ideas, combine some video/maps into a big one. (Good luck with Chicago and the Bay Area tho)

All day service on the barrie line should be extended to old cummer. Anyone agree?

A total joke and waste of money. It is empty most of the time. It is a proven fact that the automobile is the most efficient mover of people in a city. Sorry you woke folks, but that is true. I go to Dallas all the time for the past fifty years and this electric train is such a waste of money and a joke among Dallas people.

You forgot the"Ontario"in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

The Metropolitan Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) is the principle public transport operator in the Atlanta metropolitan area. MARTA was formed by an act of the GeorgiaGeneralAssembly in 1965. MARTA was originally proposed as a rapid transit agency for Fulton, Dekalb,Clayton, Gwinnett, Coɓb counties. Formed in 1971 strictly as a bus system. Today, MARTA is composed of a heavy rail rapid transit system, a light rail system ( Streetcar with limited service in the Atlanta dontown area). MARTA operates a neckwork of 113 bus routes with 8787 bus stops linked to a rapid transit system consisting of 48 miles of rail track with 38 subway stations on 4 rail lines. RED LINE( NorthWest-South line), GOLD LINE(NorthEast-South LINE) BLUE LINE(West-East LINE). BOTH RED and GOLD South LINES leave/travel to Airport Station. MARTA operates primarily in the boundaries of Fulton, Dekalb, and Clayton counties and maintains bus🚌 service to two designations in neighboring Cobb County (Six flags and the Cumberland transfer center next to the cumberland mall). MARTA is the 8th largest rapid transit system in the United States by ridership (64,306,800 total 2023). In addition to fare collection, the MARTA budget is funded by a 1% sale tax from Fulton, Dekalb, and Clayton counties. MARTA has never received any operational funding from the state of georgia. MARTA is the largest public transportation agency in the United States not to receive state funding for operational expenses. It's hard for me as a military war veteran to understand how the Georgia General Assembly expects Atlanta to continue to develop, maintain and update a regional transit plan, incorporating, existing and future transit services, facilities, projects in order to privide a coordinated region wide approach and enhance connectivity for riders. The ATL Regional Transit Plan or ARTP, serves as the foundation for transit planning in the Atlanta region for the next several decades, ensuring transit projects work together to create a seamless network and customer experience regardless of transit operator. MARTA is the 8th largest transit Atlanta, Fulton and Dekalb taxpayers have paid into the transit system. Our south suburban(Clayton county)brothers and sisters taxpayers voted the 1% sale tax to join the MARTA transit community in November 2014. The MARTA Agency announced 4 new expansion locations on existing rail lines(Krog Street/Hulsey Yard, Joseph E Broone, Armour Yards, and Murphy Crossing partner with assistance from the city of Atlanta in the coming years. These expansions will be well received and needed. May MARTA continue to expand into our southern airport Clayton county in the near future. MAY GOD watch over and guide MARTA into its expansion plans 🙏

The Valley line SE is opened now need to update this video to reflect new changes also a SW extension of the Capital Line is underway to Heritage Valley

The urban planning of Montreal wipes the floor with TO & TTC.

Metro wipes the floor with Toronto TTC.

I was one of the few that was getting voter signatures petitioned for it. The Goldwater institute did everything they could to get voters against it, it's nice to see a project come through for the people of the Valley,. Hopefully they can get the leg running down I-10 also, as planned. I was a VM bus operator for 10 years & miss the people, due to diabetes. Hopefully others will step up & carry on.

Well! Fall 2023 came and went and we're still waiting for the train to arrive in New Bedford and Fall River (through Taunton)

i love this video as liveing in sacramento

Great video! The biggest missed opportunity was right after WW1. That east/west streetcar subway would have connected 2 west side lines from Detroit and west 25th and 3 on the east that travelled under Euclid. One line would follow Euclid, one went up mayfield and a 3rd would have gone down east 40th and onto broadway. Cleveland would be a very different city if this or any of the other big plans had come to fruition.

Horrible subway system with outdated stations with rats, homeless people and crime

There Is One At Kingston Rd And Markham Rd

Great job Denver! Great train system! Should be a model for many American cities without adequate light rail/train service.

The surrounding suburban counties must vote to join Marta, and surrounding suburban counties taxpayers must pass the 1 % sale tax in order for Marta to expand into Cobb county, Gwinnett county, or any surrounding suburban counties. May GOD cove and bless Marta Transit System Authority 🚇 and its daily and annual ridership. GOD BLESS 🙌 🙏 ❤️

Zac, thank you for informative video of Marta. Thanks. GOD BLESS 🙌 🙏.
