photo by Kymberly Janisch, via Flickr Nice shot of the always photogenic Chicago El, taken in late spring. I thought it’s appropriate given that the weather here has felt like winter for the past few days. To submit a photo or photos of something transportation-related, post them to Metro’s Flickr [continue reading]
photo by Greg Raisman, via Flickr Nope, that’s not our Hollywood. That’s the Hollywood part of Portland, Oregon, the city with some serious cycling credentials. The cyclist is in a “bike box,” which the city has installed in several locations to try to eliminate collisions between cyclists and vehicles that [continue reading]
photo by Chris Jongkind, via his Flickr photostream These two shots are of the Shinagawa rail station in Tokyo. I posted both to contrast the wide and more narrow points of view, as well as the views of the station by day and by night. Chris has a net set [continue reading]
