Site Updates for the week of April 15 & 22, 2013

Late last week, I published the first page for my Hampton Roads portal regarding the Tide Light Rail Line in Norfolk, VA. I also went ahead and migrated my Tampa Bay Transit Museum page from my old site, since that page was very small. My next update will be to migrate content for Sarasota CountyContinue reading "Site Updates for the week of April 15 & 22, 2013"

If you see something, say something!

NOTE: I wrote this post back on April 16, 2013, which was the day after the horrific terrorist attacks that struck the Boston Marathon. I continue to pray for all those who were affected by this tragedy. #BostonStrong In the wake of the terrible events in Boston, MA, I would like to take a momentContinue reading "If you see something, say something!"

5th Anniversary Awesomeness!

Five years ago today, I started the Tampa Transit Utopia Blog and launched what would be the basis of my website today. I would first like to take a moment to thank all of my followers, including those at SkyScraperCity (you know who you are). Secondly, I want to announce that I will begin building upContinue reading "5th Anniversary Awesomeness!"

Site Updates for the first part of April, 2013

You may have noticed that I've made several updates to the site in recent weeks. The most noticeable change is the creation of three new pages: the TECOline Streetcar Line, Northern Tampa Bay, and Tampa International Airport People Mover and Monorail. These pages are relatively small in nature and thus did not take long for me toContinue reading "Site Updates for the first part of April, 2013"

Each tidbit of transit news is grouped by geographical region (or Focus Area) that I cover. TAMPA BAY AREA, FLORIDA: Update on HART MetroRapid.Continue reading "Transit Roundup for the week of April 1, 2013"

Just a couple days ago, on March 29, the NYCMTA released a set of new photosContinue reading "Restoration of the South Ferry Loop is nearly complete!"

March Friday Rewind – PSTA’s Hybrid Buses

I know that I didn't post a Friday Rewind for February, for I was occupied with designing other posts. However, I do have a segment for March, which will reflect on a post I made back on December 10, 2008. On this day, I blogged about the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) receiving a fleet ofContinue reading "March Friday Rewind – PSTA’s Hybrid Buses"

A co-branded livery hits the Paris Metro – Part 1

With the rolling stock transition soon coming to a close on Line 5, the RATP has already begun preparing for the next phase of rolling stock replenishment for Line 9. Line 9 currently possesses the aging MF 67 series D rolling stock, which are gradually reaching the ends of their useful lives. In 2011, the STIFContinue reading "A co-branded livery hits the Paris Metro – Part 1"
