CTRAN 60
Vehicles: 30
Fare: $0.00 (transfer) ($144.60 total)

Off we go into Washington on this extremely short bus ride!! Tomorrow is a long day where I need to get to Vancouver Airport in time for my flight and a single lost connection could jeopardize that...so that'll be fun!

CTRAN 105
Vehicles; 31
Fare: $3.00 ($147.60 total)

We had to shell out an additional 50 cents since this is an express route, but it's worth it to have time for breakfast at the end of this on a day with generally very short and scary layovers!

ctran busses have a "our 🩷 are with longview" destination sign and its crazy how theres more than one thing this could be about

I've finally moved #CTRAN to #Codeberg.

codeberg.org/thelastpsion...

Although I'm not working on the project right now, it's constantly on my mind. I will be widening the scope of the repo from just CTRAN-ng to a new #Psion SIBO C SDK with new tools.

Rather than go straight into some of the more technical issues I've been facing, I've just written a quick recap on my rewrite of Psion's weird OO C preprocessor, CTRAN, and where I'm heading next with it and the rest of the SIBO C SDK.

For those of you who don't know, at the start of the year I decided to start rewriting the #Psion SIBO C SDK.

In #Pascal.

I started off with #CTRAN, Psion's quirky OO C preprocessor.

github.com/thelastpsion...

And as if that wasn't enough, I'm considering writing a #compiler.

Just like connecting IBR light rail to CTRAN bus rapid transit at Library Square. History definitely rhymes!
...the Vancouver City Council insisted that a connection had to be made with their local streetcar system at Third and Main streets. An impasse formed: the council refused to grant a franchise without the extension, and PRL&P refused to pay for it.

holy shit, i'll make the trip up on the CTRAN for that

If you are drinking, please do not drive. It isn't worth it, and most transit systems in the area are free tonight. CTRAN and TRIMET are both offering extended service and free service at night.

ctran sort of has the idea with their I-5 express buses but they need the resources to run more frequently with weekend and off-peak service, another reason we need to make quadmet real mail.c-tran.com/routes/105-i...

hell, we could get commuter trains that go to Vancouver with some headed farther north to battleground and others veering east on the BNSF route, stopping in the CTRAN park and rides near East Vancouver or Camas

Finally, after months of eager anticipation from all corners of the internet, #CTRAN 0.1.0 is out.

Please, everyone, contain your excitement.

Serious question: if ClarkCo residents are facing an increase from 0.7% to 0.9% sales tax, + an additional high capacity transit tax, then couldn’t they instead join Trimet’s transit district (0.8% payroll tax)? Wouldn’t Trimet offer better service than CTran on the dollar?

I'm switching gears on my #CTRAN write-up. I will come back to the blog posts, but right now I think it's more important to make sure the code is fully commented.

I hope this helps others understand the process. But I also think it'll help me to see what changes I can make to make CTRAN better.

#CTRAN 0.0.2 is out!

OK, I know no one is using this, but I'm going to shout about it anyway. For those who don't know, this is my rewrite of #Psion's proprietary OO C preprocessor. It takes class definition files and spits out "pure" C or TASM.

🚍 @ctranvancouver.c-tran.com has broken ground on The Vine on Highway 99! The new BRT line will connect downtown Vancouver to Hazel Dell, Salmon Creek — and WSU Vancouver!

Thank you to everyone who helped make this project a reality! 💚
