This is a cool train but would be nice if the US could get serious about upgrading rail infrastructure so they can go faster than 79mph.

Banthaskull@banthaskull.bsky.social · 4w agoWe rode light rail for the first time in forever because it was a monday day game. Street parking would be janky. Seriously, long-ish walk to train. Taking train back was 40 min wait and train was way slower than driving. It is like MTA is actively trying to make people hate transit. I don’t get it
Also crickets from @mta.maryland.gov about these slow zones on the light rail.

Anyone at @mta.maryland.gov care to address this?
