GWR's New Battery Powered Train
How to avoid overhead wires and 3rd Rails and the high cost of maintaining such... these look like a nice modernization.

Pete #Buttigieg celebrates Chatham's Uber-like #transit options #microtransit
..."Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg is in Savannah honoring innovation with leaders at Chatham Area Transit.
“This is a community experiencing a lot of growth. People here deserve access to good transit, too,” Buttigieg told WJCL 22. “What the local transit agency is doing is really innovative and using new technology.”
Buttigieg is celebrating success in what's called "micro transit." Think about it like a public Uber; there is no route, it goes where you need to.
“That allows areas that weren't served by the network before to get service now. It connects more people up to opportunity,” Buttigieg said."...

#Ukraine Exhibits #War Images At #Train #Station To Shock Russians
The #Baltic state allows 100 trains a month carrying Russian passengers to #transit to and from the exclave of #Kaliningrad under a special arrangement between #Lithuania, the European Union and #Russia.
...
The new #exhibition of 24 #photos has been set up on the #platform used by the transit trains, with the images placed at the height of the carriage windows. "Today, Putin is killing the peaceful population of Ukraine. Do you approve of this?," read the inscription on some of the pictures exhibited.
One thing we can do here is build walls! This is part of the new light #rail line in the south of #Ottawa, or will be if it ever gets completed. Just announced today that it is now a whole year behind schedule.

Prof. Richard Wolff: For New Infrastructure, a New System

Only recently did I move from just having a cell phone to having a smart phone. I bought a used Galaxy Nexus, which was released six years ago. I installed Lineage OS on it, without Gapps (I don't need Google tracking my every move). For apps, I use F-droid, which has been fine, but, I was unable to install an app for transit schedules (specifically for the Toronto Transit Commission, which is what I use).
However, I found an app called GTFSOffline, which would have transit schedules on the phone, and thus I wouldn't need to be online (I don't have data -- I just have talk and text, with wifi when available). But, I've been having some difficulties getting it working. The last error told me there's "No usable location fix!" So now I'm in the process installing a GSM Location Service. It's taking a long time (the database installation is at 59.4% now). Hopefully this works. I like to think that open source devices/software can have the same functionality as proprietary devices/software. So, I'm hoping I'll be able to access TTC schedules as easy as my friends who've installed various apps from Google Plus.
