To save everyone else the work, I've located the original. It's from Adobe Stock, by someone known only as "dantada", and tagged 2006, which is presumably the year when it was taken.

https://stock.adobe.com/images/new-york-spring-street-manhattan-508749781/508749781

Amusingly, the stock image is a fair way down the #NewYorkPost article. The generated montage has skipped over some images of already pedestrianized school roads, 14th Street buses, and suchlike.

I have no idea, incidentally, who the random Stacey Rauch person is that the #NewYorkPost quotes at such length, nor why xyr opinions are given such prominence.

Gabrielle Fahmy has been quoting Rauch as xyr main opinion on #NewYorkCity traffic since at least June 2025, and possibly longer (I didn't check very far back.), though.

Rauch was also opposed back then (months before Mandami was elected — before even the primary) to the busway on 34th Street.

The bus deadlock in Oslo has illustrative value

#dev #programming #buses #multithreading

Two pictures of buses. The first picture shows a neat line of double-decker buses with the text "multithreading example in documentation". The second picture shows four long, articulated buses in a round-about each blocking each other from proceeding or exiting from the roundabout. Nicely illustrating the concept of a "dead-lock". Superimposed text reads: "multithreading implementation in my program".

This is how it went down, right?

A: "I have noticed that nearly everyone wants to travel the same directions at the same times."

B: "I have noticed this too!"

A: "There must be an efficient way to handle this..."

B: "I have an idea!"

A: "Me too. Let's say it at the same time!"

B: "High capacity shared vehicles on fixed routes on fixed schedules!"

A: "Individual vehicles owned and operated separately!"

B: "Aw nuts."

I know everyone hates change, but the new StreetDeck Electroliner #buses on the 341 route are manifestly terrrrible. The seating is cramped, the flooring is tacky (and readily shows dirt), the digital signage is bizarrely placed (and astonishingly poorly executed, for a transit authority with as proud a tradition of graphic excellence as #TfL), they’re generally just uncomfortable – a big step backward we’ll have to endure for the next several years minimum. : . (

Hi folks

Just joined today. I'm a retired Scottish gentleman interested in vintage buses and I hope to post some interesting facts as we go along.

I'm building a website using Hugo and I'm currently visiting transport museums and collecting photographs.
