On this #TransDayOfVisiblity, I want to specifically highlight Bernie Wagenblast.
She is one of the famous announcer voices for New York City's Metropolitan Transit Authority! (See video for demonstration)
From her wikipedia page: Bernie Wagenblast is a transportation journalist, radio personality and voice-over artist. She is the founder and editor of the Transportation Communications Newsletter. She also edits The AASHTO Daily Transportation Update, published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, and hosts AASHTO's ETAP Podcast and the ITE Talks Transportation podcast for the Institute of Transportation Engineers.
Trans folks putting the 'trans' in public transit!

Taking the T today to see whether the shutdown to fix tracks actually works
Especially the slow zones between south station and Andrew, which drove me nuts every time

Did you know that the Toronto Zoo used to run a monorail (ish)?
The 5.6km transit system closed down in 1994. However the concrete structure that supported the rail is still around in the middle of the forest near Scarborough/Rouge Park.
I knew it was reachable because of an old reddit post and also because we can see it from Google Maps.
But I didn't know "how" to get there. So with a few friends we decided to find out
