Gazing westbound on Calgary’s Sunalta Station platform I enjoyed both the view and the youth sharing a laugh.
from the dark tunnel of the station, a lone figure climbs toward the shimmering lattice above, each step pulling him further from shadow into the fractured glow of the city’s spine.
Passing through the city's Theater District, an outbound Metro Rail train descends below Main Street in downtown Buffalo, New York.

a figure fades in motion, pulling the weight of the city's stories behind them. the glass ceiling reflects a maze of light and steel, a fractured symphony of the underground. münchner freiheit hums softly with echoes of departures, arrivals, and the spaces in between. the blurred silhouette speaks of fleeting moments—here, then gone—leaving traces only the reflections can hold.
Mr. Statue aka Silver Man has been performing "living statue" in Portland since 1999. I've spotted him around town "off duty" a few times and I always get a kick out of it.
Here he is after a hard day's work waiting for the Max.
Whenever I ask if I can take a pic of him he is always very nice about it, with a soft-spoken "sure" or "yep".
The following is a link from OregonLive.com about this guy...

Just another lovely morning waiting at the transit center, Violent Femmes "Waiting for the Bus" vocals relentlessly burning into my psyche.
San Diego's Metropolitan Transit System operates Line 992, a shuttle bus between downtown and Lindbergh Field. It uses ElDorado National EZ Rider buses equipped with luggage racks.
A weird thing happened on the way home tonight... I was taking the MAX lightrail home as I often do; gazing at my phone, people's voices in my ear and people's feet in my peripheral vision.
An instant later... nothing.... nobody.
It literally went from twenty people to nothingness in less than a couple minutes... and even though I knew I was getting off at the end of this Blue Line's run, as I usually do, I was completely overcome by the sudden emptiness in such a short stretch.
I thought Rod Serling was going to board the train and make his opening monologue because I felt like I'd entered the Twilight Zone.
Pasadena ARTS (Area Rapid Transit System) has grown into a substantial operation within the city limits.
ElDorado-National #1828 is on Line 40, which runs from the Sierra Madre Villa Gold Line station to the Pasadena Civic Center via Orange Grove Boulevard and Villa Avenue. It runs through residential areas, but it does not run along the part of Orange Grove where the mansions and European lights are.
Pasadena wrapped the bus with a rose print.
Pasadena ARTS is operated by First Transit.
Pasadena buses 31/32, 40 and 60 share this stop. Pasadena includes schedules and maps of the buses at eye level.
From the Armitage southbound platform. The platform is almost next to the subway portal: the original Armitage platforms didn't get anywhere near this close.
BART managed to make the impossible likely probable by providing high-frequency rapid transit to the farthest flung suburbs of the Bay Area. And it is still expanding?
The next likely extension would be Bakersfield in Kern County, about 275 miles southeast of the Bay Area.
I kid.
Seriously, though, BART has this information rack at the Bakersfield Amtrak station.
The blue booklets are the schedules. The green and orange booklets have good maps of the Bay Area bus services. And the olive guide on the right helps you be prepared.
Apparently, BART tickets are also available from the cafe cars on Amtrak -- definitely on the Capitol Corridor, possibly on the San Joaquins, which serve Bakersfield.
ALL ABOARD!! Portlanders at a snowy Max stop earlier today.
For some reason all the atmosphere and colors reminded me of Echo Base on Hoth in the Empire Strikes Back so I had to capture it.
Taken from the Belmont bridge, looking NW. While I still think this should be over at the Amtrak station, I do get a little weak in the knees over the structural aesthetic.

The Istanbul Hafif Metro runs from Istanbul Ataturk Intercontinental Airport to Aksaray in mid-city Istanbul. The train here is passing Istanbul's main bus station, about 1/2-way through its journey to Aksaray. It's considered to be a "light-rail" line, but is constructed to mainline railway standards. The rolling stock was constructed by ABB of Sweden.
Reading and waiting

Netherlands, Zuid Holland, The Hague, Grote Martktstraat, HTM, R-Net, Spui station, tram, passengers (cut from all sides)
Shot at the underground Spui tram station in the (in)famous The Hague tram tunnel (2004). The tunnel and stations are designed by Rem Koolhaas (OMA) and Rob Hilz (Lab-da). The station features ‘traditional’ raw OMA materials like untreated concrete and wood (floor).
Oh, the depicted tram is a Siemens Avenio (2015). These trams are actually to wide for the the The Hague tram network. Trees had to be removed and some stretches of track can't be used at all. (Thanx Akbar for this info)

If you fancy a L train, it is here. Or go straight to the Brooklyn Funk Essentials: Take the L train ;-)
