We're rolling out a ton of new electric trolleybusses right now and will have light rail to the U-district/Capitol hill in the next few months so things are looking up is this like the silver line on the T if so then lol those are just electric buses

theflyingexecutive posted:lmao forever if your trains don't run 24 hours this was the thing i liked least about living in boston tbf the rationale of "cmon guy its old as poo poo we need to work on it" (if true) is a good one, i've been in nyc for like 4 months and i've already had to deal with them doing bullshit repairs on the lines i need to use on the days that i need to use them for 2 months straight

theflyingexecutive posted:which one? A/C over the weekend for the past 2 months or so hasn't gone past jay st in brooklyn or w 4 in manhattan, making it a huge pain in the rear end if you needed to be at fulton/chambers st (in manhattan) like i did idk if it affected other stations on the same line too, i just know it was a huge pain in the rear end while hungover at 7 am particularly because i'd forgotten alternate routes and the suggested one took me past wjere i needed to go and then back again (lol 5 transfers)

accela or whatever it was called still blew when i took it literally once because it was almost 4x the price as a plane ticket at the time and 3x slower the prices are nearly the same now though but flying takes less than an hour

Cygni posted:ive taken acela from DC to NYC or bmore a bunch of times and its def faster than flying if you count early arrival time at the airport and getting to JFK and crap. DC to NYC is 3 hours by acela to penn station, or an hour 15 minutes by air plus early arrival and a cab or subway ride. ill take the train. it used to be like $80 boston -> nyc and i haven't had any problems getting to either airport on time. A train to JFK, silver line to logan. flight takes like an hour in comparison accela was like $300 and took almost 3 hours

also how is public transport in miami? my gf's parents are going to south beach for a few days and while i could possibly go pick them up and drive them to wherever they want to go (i'm visiting my parents for the next few days about an hour away from there) i don't really want to borrow one of their cars for that plus no way am i staying in their hotel room so i would have to commute back and forth to do so

mishaq posted:lol if you plan a trip without thinking about specifically how you're gonna get around based on local availability of transportation well her parents came to visit her in nyc and she hasn't lived anywhere that doesn't have semi-decent public transportation (chicago, nyc, seoul & tokyo). i don't understand why they want to go somewhere after flying somewhere else but they originally wanted to take her to san francisco, although they didn't realize how far that is from nyc so she thought a visit to FL before i leave for new york would be a nice surprise even though i go back the day they go back. she has a habit of making last minute long distance travel plans though. so nice of her to tell me literally less than a day before they get here  this is getting a little too cls though
