Happy Holidays! samTrans 2014 Gillig BRT #905 on Route SKY Southbound
happy holidays everyone! with christmas coming up, malls around the bay area are booming! this not only means more people are using transit - more people are in their cars, too. the traffic jams at serramonte caused many significant delays to all lines stopping there. this run in particular was about 30 minutes late, which explains why this bus was surprisingly populated. i don’t normally see SKY buses carry 10+ people at a time (the most i’ve seen was ~20).

samTrans 2014 Gillig Low Floor 29’ #2957 on Route 142 Eastbound
Просмотров 1221 день назад
forgot to upload this one! the plan was to take this to airtrain and transfer to the 292, but i would’ve missed that transfer and i needed to be at millbrae TC at a certain time, so i bailed early. the 29’ buses are really fun! huntington avenue by the BART station is going to look really different once construction is done, and it should be a big upgrade especially for cyclists! from: san brun...
[FULL ROUTE] - SF Muni 2007 Orion VII OG HEV 30’ #8510 on Route 35 Outbound
Просмотров 23Месяц назад
the 35 eureka is one of the shortest routes in the system! it is also one of the toughest for operators - the tight stretch on moffitt combined with the steep hills makes this an interesting trip! this journey features my favorite bus, the orion VII OG HEV, which is lasting a lot longer than expected. the 40 foot variants retired in 2020, and these shorties were due for retirement a couple of y...
samTrans 2009 Gillig BRT #402 on Route 121 Southbound
Просмотров 46Месяц назад
402 is my favorite ‘09-‘10 BRT - it sounds amazing even without its engine fan on. the voith is extra whiny on this unit. this generation of BRTs will likely retire soon with the arrival of the gillig BEBs and NFI XHE40s, so catch as many of them while you still can! from: daly city BART to: edgeworth ave / 90th st
Caltrain Southbound Express #510 - November 1, 2024

the express trips have been troublesome post-electrification, with trips struggling to keep up with the tight and ambitious schedule. still, the expresses move along the corridor very quickly, and these trips will come in handy if ever i need to take a class at cañada or early classes at CSM. i’m wondering how they’re going to treat the schedule change - removing a stop or two to deliver proper...

    They need to modify this route • First I don’t like how they don’t use the Lane B in the transit center, because it will be a while lot harder transferring when a train arrives and • Adding El Camino segments would be a whole lot better then the route just going downtown it would increase ridership • another reason why the routes I doing so poorly is because they kinda rushed the whole route launch and it really doesn’t have an appeal towards many people • another thing is the whole air train situation first off it doesn’t serve the SFO airport only the SFO Airtrain which would mean the ridership would be not so good • Instead of it going downtown rwc it should go onto El Camino and enter either Brewster or Whipple ave for a least some passengers • I don’t like how it interlines with 276, 142, a small part of 296 • IT NEEDS WEEKEND SERVICE that would increase ridership • Also its timetable is nearly good it just need a few more trips like at 7, 8, 9 and the last run like at 9 or 10pm • Use the Gilligs

      what i really enjoyed about the 398 was being able to get between san bruno and hillsdale really quickly without paying the hefty caltrain fare! adding portions along el camino would help increase ridership, but at the same time might turn customers from east palo alto off because that simultaneously slows travel times down (also meaning the 45-minute frequency would require more resources to maintain). gilligs are very seldom used but still make some appearances here and there!
