Miles in Transit

[EARLY VIDEO] I Flew on the World's OLDEST* Jet in Scheduled Passenger Service!

Hooray, I'm back to being a full week early! Just gotta keep the trend going. Anyway, hope you enjoy this one, this was an AMAZING trip that I was so excited to edit together! And of course feel free to let me know if there are any older jets out there that I missed...

[EARLY VIDEO] We Visited the Deepest Subway Station in North America

Alright, we're getting somewhere! Catching back up! Heck yeah!

Still Behind

Hey everyone, today's video basically came out by the skin of my teeth - I can't even remember the last time I've had to manually publish a video rather than scheduling it beforehand! Needless to say, I'm still catching up, but hopefully I'll be able to do so this weekend...after an extra video that will hopefully come out tomorrow if not Friday. Those of you following current events will proba...

[EARLY] Amtrak's Mardi Gras - FIRST TRIP from Mobile, AL to New Orleans, LA! - Apparently a Trip Report

Had to cut this one down to the wire since it's a "current events" video! I'll probably end up releasing this one to the public in the morning just to try to beat any prospective YouTubers who try to beat me, heh heh...

(Although shoutout to Classy Whale who got his video out the SAME DAY! He was on the opposite train from mine so go check his video out for a totally different perspective...

[EARLY VIDEO] We Circumnavigated Vancouver Bay Using Only* Transit!

Okay, I'm working on catching up! An actual early video! Yay!

[EARLY VIDEO] I Rode San Diego's "NEWEST" Light Rail Line!

So what I should've done is just made that ferry video a mainline video, but I got stubborn and didn't feel like changing it!

Anyway, keep an eye on Twitter and Bluesky today for the start of a fun adventure!

[BONUS VIDEO] I Rode Boston's Most Mysterious Ferry (+NEW New Camera Test)

Wow, it's another "early bonus video upload so I can get feedback on a new camera" situation! This could also potentially graduate to a mainline video depending on my ability to edit tonight...but honestly this WAS a really cool ferry so I could see it justifying that anyway.

But yeah, so I bought a Canon Powershot V1, and so far I feel WAY better about it than I have with the Sony. I'm c...

[EARLY VIDEO] The High-Speed Ferry from Maine to Nova Scotia - Apparently a Trip Report

Two ferry videos in a row...but this is a really fun one! I think, anyway.

[EARLY VIDEO] This Giant Ferry to Mallorca BLEW ME AWAY!

Ugh, I'm back to chasing my own tail again trying to get these videos out in time! I'm really sorry if it takes me a while to respond on here (you may have noticed I haven't gone through the comments of the recent video on YouTube too) - I am exceptionally busy right now!

[EARLY VIDEO] Harbour Air from Vancouver to Victoria - Apparently a Trip Report

Ugh, sorry, I'm back to being late. Hopefully the post-credits scene explains the delay a bit. (and you guys are all-too-familiar with this saga...)

[EARLY VIDEO] Why is the Cleveland Waterfront Line...?

Finally, after three separate trips and three separate videos, I'm finishing off the Cleveland RTA! And what a way to end it...

I'm Doing a Thing in Vancouver! (Discounted Tickets for Patrons)

If anyone's based in or around Vancouver, I'm doing a talk about the cross-Canada bus trip I'm actively on right now! Check the link for more info, and anyone on here can pay the discounted donor rate - that's 50% off the CANADIAN DOLLARS ticket price! The money goes to Movement, a local transit advocacy group who's doing great work, so know that it's for a good cause!

[EARLY VIDEO] Caltrain: Riding America's Newest Electrified Railroad

A review of Caltrain from an impromptu meetup! Thanks so much to everyone who showed up for this.

[EARLY VIDEO] How I Flew Round Trip to Spain for $6*

A short one this week - I've got some more queued up since I'm going away for a few weeks. (keep an eye on my Twitter and Bluesky for updates, it'll be an exciting adventure!) The others will be published on Wednesdays here but you can find them in the "ad-free videos" playlist if you want to see them early, at least once I get them uploaded! I'll be up late tonight...

[BONUS VIDEO] Another Test of the New Camera

Okay, I've listened to your feedback and changed a few settings! I think this is better??

A few questions:
-Is there any easy way to deal with the big volume difference between when I'm filming from behind the camera versus in front of it? I do think the amount of switching between the two that I do would make it difficult to make an external directional mic work but maybe I'm wrong. 2025-06-16 01:59:59 +0000 UTC View Post

[BONUS VIDEO] Reviewing the MWRTA 495 Connector (+New Camera Test!)

Early bonus video! This is technically the "July" one but I wanted to get it out early since I'm about to go on a big trip and figured this is the best time to hear about if I need to make any changes with this new camera. Some notes on that:

-I left my old one (a Canon G9X, which has been the model I've used since 2018) on a Southwest plane a couple weeks ago (I know, insanely stupid and...

[EARLY VIDEO] Maple Leaf: the International Train from Toronto to NYC - Apparently a Trip Report

Hopefully this is the closest I'll be cutting it for a while! Also that auto-generated thumbnail is hilarious...still gotta make the real one for the public video!

[EARLY] Washington, DC's Streetcar is Slower Than the Bus

I hear this thing has been in the news recently...

[BONUS VIDEO] Chasing Bee-Line's 20-Year-Old Orion V Buses

Here we are, as promised in the MetroCard video! This was filmed in FEBRUARY OF LAST YEAR, I didn't realize I've been sitting on it for so long...

[EARLY VIDEO] We Traveled 6.5 Hours on Transit to Visit Long Island's Best Diner

Still flying by the seat of my pants to get these done in time...hopefully I can catch up soon! For now, I gotta go to bed!

[EARLY VIDEO] My Flight to Cleveland Got Canceled. Here's How I Got There Instead.

Okay, so you may have noticed I did NOT cameo on a big transit YouTuber's channel this week - I'm actually not sure what the timeline on that is now (and I'm wary of asking to avoid looking too needy!) but I figured I'd try to upload another banger just in case it does come out this week. I hope you enjoy it and agree that it is a banger!

(also yes, I'm still super behind on getting video...

[EARLY VIDEO] What's the Longest Trip You Can Make With a MetroCard?

Hello night owls or people in time zones different from mine! I was originally going to edit a different video and get it to you sooner but I found out that I'll be cameoing on a large transit channel this week and immediately shifted gears to get this one out instead! Hopefully you enjoy it - I think it's a fun one.

(FYI I might be running behind the next couple weeks but I'm gonna do my...

[BONUS VIDEO] A Trip to Tigre, Argentina on the Tren de la Costa

This is the last of the Argentina videos! I wasn't really sure how to market this one to a general audience but it's a fun look at some of the commuter trains out of Buenos Aires, plus the "coast tram" to Tigre.

[EARLY VIDEO] Fastest Muni Metro Rider Alive...?

Ohhh this was a miserable experience...

I'm going to be at Canadian Civil Alive!

It's an event in Montreal on Saturday, August 16th at 6 PM with all your favorite transit and urbanism YouTubers - RMTransit, Alan Fisher, Oh the Urbanity, About Here, Paige Saunders, yours truly, and possibly more?? I can't tell you how much fun last year's event was...there's trivia, laughing at funny YouTube comments, and a ton of socializing! The first 10 people to buy tickets with the excl...

[EARLY VIDEO] Amtrak Illini/Saluki from Chicago to Carbondale - Apparently a Trip Report

A pretty odd Amtrak service this week! Superliners, a backwards section, and one of Amtrak's more ridiculous "business classes"...

[EARLY VIDEO] We Took Transit to Mexico...and Got Stuck There

I think this is probably the most helpless I've ever felt in a transit experience! We were just along for the ride!

[EARLY VIDEO] Attempting to Ride Toronto's Legendarily Bad BRT System

I hope the Torontonians in my audience understand the pain of trying to ride every VIVA route on a Sunday...

(also, will I get pushback for calling it "Toronto"? Obviously it's mostly for clickbait recognition, but also the Blue Line does enter the City of Toronto at its southern end...)

[BONUS VIDEO] South Coast Rail Eve: Peter Pan, New Bedford, and a Fairfield Inn Review

Peter Pan was a nice experience, but I'm very glad there's a much more frequent and easy-to-use train now.

[EARLY VIDEO] Franklin Square (Philly's Newest Subway Station) - First Trip and Station Review!

Another case where "early" actually just means "half an hour early", but it's the second upload in a week so hopefully it's not TOO big of a deal! ;) Also, I'm hoping to get the New Bedford Peter Pan bonus video out tomorrow, and then hopefully we'll be on a regular schedule again starting next week.
