Love those trains at the start! There is this one city close to us where every year they have the "polar express" ride for the children. They go in there PJs and get coca like in the cartoon. Its awesome!
That is fantastic! Sounds like a really fun trip. The trains at the start are Budd RDCs. They are both 58 years old this year, functional rail history, and such a exciting sight to behold for sure!
That bus is squeaky as shit! I bet that’s a great driving job! That’s a short bus isn’t it? The seats do look good ! That little section of the highway is ridiculously congested. Just too much traffic and not enough space. I was never totally convinced of the “induced demand” problem. It’s got more to do with out of control growth rather than expanded highways. Nice video Dan!
Highways and Freeways always spur new developments along them too. Think of how recent all that commerical area there at Bridgeport Village is in Tualatin. It is actually quite new. And the bypass the constructed to bypass Dayton, Dundee and Newberg is likely to do the same. Thus why you see the out of control growth causing the congestion. So you're right which is also how induced demand is right. Remember when 217 added those extra lanes? Look at how fast they filled up after they were constructed. It was almost immediate. Yet there was no new development anywhere near it when that happened. Not even new buildings. How? Because that is Induced Demand. Again also why the LA example is the best example. They kept incessantly expanding their freeway system with more capacity over and over and over again, and it immediately filled up. Even that didn't entirely correlate with the region's rapid development, as the latter two times, all the surrounding area was already fully developed. People who can afford to be motorists who see the new lanes become new drivers as they believe it would be quickest for them to drive, and now with new lanes, surely that means there won't be all the backups, right? Well, the amount of the people with the same assumption is always high enough that they quickly fill up new lanes, forcing the congestion problems to remain. Again, induced demand. As I noted multiple times, it is a minibus. One of the Ford Branded ones, like medical groups and transit agencies use for paratransit. Just compare my first trip report video on the 59 and those TriMet seats with that of these on SMART'S minibuses 😂 And I am happy you enjoyed it!
Anyone notice my sneaky little camera shot through the safety handle on top of that seat in front of me? 😂 I knew that would turn out good. Trying different things!

Cool stuff!
Thank you as always, Bajwa! I appreciate it!
