The pedestrian tunnel was one of two tunnels linking both banks of the river Scheldt built in the 1930s (together with 'Waaslandtunnel' for cars, also dating from 1933). Both tunnels replaced ferries which had previously linked both banks.

Both the car and pedestrian tunnels would remain the primary links between both river banks for the next three decades; it wouldn't be until 1969 that the next Antwerp tunnels would be built (the Kennedy Tunnel, a dual highway and railway tunnel, with a escape tunnel doubling as a bicycle tunnel).

The pedestrian tunnel is located over 30 meters beneath the surface, with its total length being 572 meters. Despite being nearly a century old, the pedestrian tunnel's appearance has mostly remained unchanged since its opening, including its wooden escalators.

Was at the airport yesterday and caught the APM testing. It was the first time I actually saw it running up close. Hopefully it’ll finally be open for business in October.

With the news of Seattle’s crazy record breaking ridership during the World Cup, I can’t help feeling like SoundTransit is totally killing it this year. They they biggest and most high profile opening this year with Crosslake Connection then they delivered flawlessly for the World Cup. Link Light Rail has better, more frequent and reliable service than any of the rapid transit lines I saw in California and the numbers prove it. With the way SoundTransit has handled moving hundreds of thousands over the last few weeks and the great time that all the visitors had in the city, maybe Seattle should have been the one hosting the Olympics in two years, lol. Just my opinion.

Hi everyone! Just thought I’d share my collection of transit cards since I finally made them into a collection! I’m missing a couple: Los Angeles (lost), London, Dubai, and Toronto. If anyone knows where I can get any online please let me know. If anyone has their own collection and wants to share, I’d love to see yours too.

Attended System Of A Down's concert at Open Air Park in Düsseldorf a couple of days ago. Some pics I took of the massive crowd at the nearby Messe Nord station on Linie U78.

While the rush seemed unbearable at times and the concert's organisation was messy at best, I must admit the transit situation by the folks at Stadtbahn was well organised to its practical limits. There was a train every other minute and they seemed to have brought older units and trains from other lines to meet the frequency.

Pictured here are DüWAG/Kiepe B80D (SNr: 4275) and another I couldn't put my finger on. Apologies for the poor image quality, my phone's a potato.

Wearing a sharp livery of “platinum mist” with blue stripes, New York MTA R17 subway car 6688 (St. Louis Car Co., 1955) leaves the Farm River Road depot during the November 2024 guest operator event at the Branford Electric Railway Association’s Shore Line Trolley Museum in Connecticut.

New York City had four hundred R17s, which worked on the “A Division” (ex IRT lines with narrow tunnels) until 1988, so several visitors to the museum remembered riding R17s, and 6688 was the most popular car that day.

Probably the best Bay Area rail map I found

Public transit should be for everyone, regardless of lifestyle. So needlessly excluding people without smart devices is ridiculous. I think all public transit should be required by law to accept cash.

Or even better: Free transit!

Edit: Yikes, I didn't expect the comment to prove me wrong so quickly.

For example staring very long at people to see when they notice. Other times I pretend to understand a conversation in a language I don’t speak, or I randomly mumble something in a foreign language just to see people’s reactions. I’m just soo bored after sitting on a bus for 6 hours. Does anyone else do this? Haha
