Ridiculous that 250 was changed back to Abrams instead of Greenville without warning this week. I wrote up a sign so at least my passengers know what’s going on.

Internally, nothing on the detour board, pocket schedules still say Greenville, MDT map still shows Greenville, no text messages sent out to the MDT. Some buses are still running up Greenville.

Publicly, GoPass hasn’t been updated, GTFS for Apple/Google/Transit hasn’t been updated, bus stops are still standing on Greenville without notice that they’re closed, next stop screens don’t show the stops on Abrams.

June 18 marks 15 years of the DCTA A-train. DCTA is celebrating with free rides all day.

June 14 marks a special occasion -- the 30th anniversary of DART’s light rail system. Thirty years ago, DART Rail made its very first trip, and it is incredible to see how the system has grown and evolved.

When DART Rail debuted in 1996, it serviced a mere 11 miles along the Red and Blue lines in Dallas. With the opening of more stations and lines -- including the Green and Orange lines -- DART Rail topped out at 93 miles and had been the longest light rail system in the country until LA Metro’s recent expansion.

I quickly wrote these up on Sunday night, so I messed up the canvass timeline. It can be anywhere from 3-14 days after the election, so actual cessation of service is TBD. I sourced my information from board meeting slide decks and the pocket schedules for the June service change.

I had plenty of passengers read, take pictures of the information, and ask questions yesterday.

DART seems to be taking the wait and see approach, I rather give my passengers some information now so they know what to expect IF Addison leaves.
