Upcoming Trip

Hello everyone, I'm back again (I know, I know, I say this just about every time I make a post). In a few weeks, I'll be traveling back to Massachusetts to attend a wedding. We'll be staying in Boston for a few days before and after the wedding, so I'll have a few chances to check out the MBTA (T) system. We'll also be traveling up the coast to Gloucester, so I may have the opportunity to fan the Cape Ann Transportation Authority (CATA). Though, the CATA system is rather small and limited so I'm not sure I'll actually get to fan them other than a photo if I'm lucky. After my trip, I'll post some photos and a travel log/review here, so stay tuned! My Fanning Goals During my stay, I hope to fan/experience the new Type 9 Green Line trains, the new Orange Line trains, the new New Flyer XDE60s and XE60 on the Silver Line. As always, I begin to plan my itineraries and begin to research about the areas I'll be visiting. And even though I already

University of North Florida Shuttle Buses

At the beginning of this academic year in August 2018, UNF changed providers for their shuttle service, the Osprey Connector. Previously, the shuttles were operated by Academy Coach and used a fleet of 2002 New Flyer D35LF and 2003 New Flyer D30LFs. But, they either did not opt in for another contract or a deal could not be made and UNF changed providers - they chose Echo Tours & Transportation (dba Echo Transportation). Since Echo Transportation did not operate in Jacksonville prior to taking this contract, they had to purchase new buses for the service. Many of the drivers were given the opportunity to change companies and continue running the Osprey Connector and keep their seniority. Drivers who did not want to leave Academy stayed, and some new drivers were hired too. Below I outline the types of buses used, both before and after the switch from Academy to Echo Transportation, as well as an issue with what buses are assigned to what routes here on campus. The latter part I tr

I'm Back! MBTA Review & More

I'm Back! Hello everyone! I'm sure you all have been wondering where I went, as my last post was last year, in 2017. I had forgotten about this for a while, and also as I am going through college I have been focusing on other things. Also, I have not had many chances to ride any public transit in a while (though I did ride on the MBTA recently), so because I haven't been using public transportation recently, this has taken a back seat. Also, to be honest, living in Jacksonville, FL while there is public transportation (Jacksonville Transportation Authority - JTA), it isn't easy to use the system since pretty much all of Jacksonville is car oriented, and the JTA system just doesn't interest me as much. But, with all that said, I do want to continue this blog and continue to be more active. Lastly, please see the link at the bottom for a link to a transit enthusiast group, if you'd like to join, just click the link and we're happy to have you! MBTA REVIE
