#SlowZones
Good News! Line 2 is completely free of slowzones as of today, and Line 1 has four slowzones which are planned to be removed by the end of the month. Hopefully the system can be slowzone free by the end of the year.

“NOAA encourages economic prosperity in our oceans…” even if it means the decimation of the endangered right whale population from vessel strikes.

Public comment now available on the elimination of the speed limits that protect our whales.

Got around to doing the full 5th update log with some extra nice audio (plugged in my boom mic) and a little editing. Pits, and Moblins, and Slowzones - oh my!

Let’s not forget: Brian Shortsleeve left the MBTA in crisis. Under his watch, service declined and safety suffered. Riders were left with breakdowns, slowzones, delays and dangerous conditions.

Erm. Full course safety cars.

Actually, have you seen any of the endurance races? (Le Mans, etc...) They have #SlowZones which is a glorious idea. Race everywhere else, slow zone where the incident occurs.

But yeah, one could wish for a snow race!!!

everyone's always talking about CTA slowzones but never about O'Hare ATS slowzones. when you're going from terminal 5 to the MMF it always slows down to an almost stop at the now-defunct Lot F station and everyone gets trolled into thinking it's their stop

Not as bad looking for Denver RTD has I had worried! Maybe someone here knows the local stats a little more closely? With the slowzones last year it was pretty bad.
Remarkable graph from SMART on their post-covid ridership recovery vs other commuter rail lines around the country.

In real terms SMART has relatively low ridership (~4500 trips/day) compared to some of these agencies, but you can see they're moving in the right direction.

I think either all drivers should get the direct message from race control for things on track bigger than a small debris (dangerous for driver or object), planned or unplanned.

Or they have slowzones, like VSC but for just the few marshal zones before/after.

On a positive note, #TTCLine1 has gotten faster than I remember south of Bloor-Yonge. Today the train is exceeding 40km/hr between each stop.
Last time I rode south of Bloor-Yonge, which was lsss year, I recall it being a bit slower. It looks like some #slowzones are being cleared.

From the mbta community on Reddit: MBTA BREAKING NEWS | The Red Line is slow-zone free for the first time in over 15 years with removal of 2 slowzones between Central-Kendall/MIT. 2 slowzones remains on Green Line.

If a solution is not reached by the end of the spring legislative session, these hits will happen. Slowzones on the CTA will increase, we’ll lose most of the lines, and they’ll most likely be torn up after.

Looking at you Toronto, Slowzones that are treated as just a fact of life, spending billions on Finch for virtually no improvement in travel time, St Clair and Spadina streetcars having their own RoW but being about as fast as parallel bus lines

3/8 He inherits a system at a crossroads. Chronic underfunding has created a massive repair backlog, forcing numerous weekend shutdowns and persistent "slow zones" across Toronto's subway network that frustrate daily commuters.

Slowzones? That’s your big, “Dems should stay in power” argument? In New Bedford, there are RATS in the streets & Mass gov seems to want to make our city a dumping ground. LOUD freight trains at 1, 3, 4 in the morning. Probably carrying more trash. MassDEP is hurting us! That’s on you! Be better!
