I'm looking forward to the Blue Line

[@sgtdebones]

I wish LA Metro could do the same with Metro Rail

[@gluse]

I want more transit systems in the US to make real-time ride transit videos on their rail lines like these. Denver RTD, Minneapolis, Los Angeles Metro, St. Louis MetroLink and all other systems in the US.

Would you be willing to do some bus ride-alongs? I miss lines 15 and 71 especially. If you can, thank you!

Cool race against the freight train from 1:15:30 to 1:20:00

Nice ride

[@Riggot45]

Great Video and thank you for posting. If you could have added station breaks or timestamps for different stops that would have been great value add.

[@richard7crowley]

I added the list of stops and clickable timestamps.

[@TrainSounds]

24:56 where the infamous stabbings occurred

[@coolleo149]

37:18 Amtrak train spotted on the right. 1:19:25 Union Pacific on the left

[@TrainSounds]

Could you do the red line?

[@ryanticknor5655]

still no d40lf bus again.

[@Kathleen-wp1mg]

The reason why TRIMET doesn't have a Red Line video is because Red Lines don't come out of Ruby Junction.They come out of Elmonica.

[@TonyP9279]

Nothing here compares to the lovely sites of NYC's subway system; the beauty of Chambers Street & Canal St underground stations, and you see wildlife (aka RATS) crossing the tracks; the surrealism of the ghostly pitch dark tunnels lit only by the train signal lights.
Seriously, this looks like a nice and clean city. I know this is before the riots; I hope they left a lot of this untouched.

[@chrissimmons9743]

They did. Most of the George Floyd protests were limited to Downtown, so even if the affected area was left a fiery hellscape, most of the City looks the same except for an increase in homelessness fueled by government incomitance, corporate greed, and price gouging.

[@JiresHacob]

Riots were not nearly as bad as most people were lead to think. In reality it was limited to a couple specific areas. A few buildings got damaged, a fee businesses robbed but it was hardly the complete war zone the news was making it out to be.
The area is fine. Mostly just harmless opiate addicts around as far as sketchy characters. Ironically the only issue I have had on the MAX wasn't a drug addict but a mob of 4 teenagers who wouldn't stop harassing me after asking for money.

Very glad TriMet copying CTA and Metra on doing these #officiacabride vids

[@ericyoung1478]

@Hobo G Not that it's a bad thing. In fact, every city/transit agency should do this.

[@durece100]

If only light rails should be underground or elevated.
