Today, I picked up my pensioner pass from #ACTransit. One of the benefits of retirement from AC Transit is free bus rides.

To get there, I caught the day’s last #actransit Line 800 to transfer to BART. It was the last AC Transit trip I’ll ever have to pay for (at least for myself). It was on one of the last Van Hool buses still in operation, one of the 60-foot articulated models.

I rode BART to downtown Oakland where the AC Transit office is. I picked up my pass. I also picked up a youth Clipper card for my daughter, who just became old enough to have to pay for transit.

I wonder what the best system for transfering to different buses/trains as part of a journey. I've lived and used public transportation in a couple of places so I've seen a few systems and my favourite transfer system might be the one they use in Bucharest, where you can take whichever buses/trams you want within 90 minutes or so (you can even use it to go back the way you came). The only downside is that the metro is a separate system, so you can't transfer to it.

#Cowichan Valley residents adapt to life without #PublicTransit as strike enters 4th month.
#PeopleWithDisabilities , #students & #seniors struggle with the lack of options for #transportation in the Cowichan Valley.

#UniforLocal114 & #UniforLocal333BC the union representing 44 drivers, mechanics& cleaners, have been on strike since Feb. 8. They are advocating for wages similar to their counterparts in Victoria, better access to washroom facilities & more consistent breaks. #Workers have since voted against a new contract with their employer, #TransDev & the strike reaches 105 days, there is still no end in sight. As a result of the strike, #transit in the Cowichan Valley has been on hold, interfering with where and how people move through the community. #HandyDart services are still available but only for medical appointments related to renal dialysis, cancer treatment & multiple sclerosis.

A really insightful analysis of why this keeps happening in The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/may/21/why-are-sydney-trains-delays-so-bad-nsw-rail-network

Along with archaic practices (carbon paper notes?!?!), interlining is singled out:

"While technical issues are unavoidable on a rail network that hosts 400m trips each year, the latest outage has reignited the nagging question on the minds of millions of Sydneysiders: how can just one incident on one train at a station with multiple tracks bring down an entire city’s rail network?

...

"The answer to the first question is easier to comprehend, and dates back to plans made in the early 1900s – including a famous vision for new lines from Sydney Harbour Bridge engineer John Bradfield – about how to expand the rail network to cater to a growing Sydney.

"Rather than a master plan for new lines independent of each other – as modern metro and underground systems were increasingly being built throughout the 20th century – the approach for Sydney was to take advantage of the huge capacity of the six tracks that comprise its main western railway between Central and Strathfield.

"In cities such as London, commuters can avoid a bottleneck or outage on one line by switching to another to dodge a problem section of track. But almost all heavy rail services in Sydney’s suburban network – including trains to the Central Coast, Blue Mountains, City Circle or Airport – are routed to pass through the Central-Strathfield corridor.

“'A lot of our lines are tangled with each other,' Sydney Trains CEO, Matt Longland, said. 'At this critical pinch point … one incident in a location like this can bring down a significant part of the network.'"

Coincidentally, interlining is also why issues on one line end up affecting multiple lines on Melbourne's network as well.
