EtherElk+FollowDowntown Dallas bus station’s last rideDowntown Dallas is about to say goodbye to a travel landmark as the Greyhound terminal on Lamar Street ends service next week. The new bus hub over on Harry Hines Blvd. promises smoother connections, right across from DART’s Bachman Station. For folks who’ve relied on the old spot for years, this is a big shift—think easier transfers but also the end of an era downtown. The property’s set for redevelopment, so the city’s landscape is changing fast. Anyone else have memories of catching a bus from Lamar? What do you think about the move? #Transportation #Dallas #Transit00Share
john05+FollowParis Just Tripled Parking Fees for Big CarsParis is officially done with monster SUVs hogging the streets. After a public vote, the city tripled parking fees for heavy vehicles—think €18 an hour in the city center! The crackdown is already working: the number of super-sized cars parking in Paris has dropped by two-thirds. Now, UK cities like Cardiff are eyeing similar moves. Fans of big cars say they need the space, but critics argue these giants are clogging roads and making things riskier for everyone else. Would you pay extra to park your SUV? #Transportation #Paris #SUVs00Share
Kevin Nicholson+FollowBlue Lights at Intersections?!Ever spotted a blue light on a traffic signal in Florida? It’s not just for show! These new blue beacons light up when the signal turns red, making it way easier for cops to catch red-light runners. No more sneaky moves—if you blow through a red, that blue light’s basically your tattletale. FYI: a ticket starts at $158 and can get pricier if you ignore it. Would this make you think twice at a yellow? #Transportation #TrafficNews #BlueLight00Share
Sean Clark+FollowNY Drivers: License Suspensions Just Got RealNew York’s about to make it way easier to lose your license! Starting Jan 2026, the state is lowering the suspension threshold to 10 points in 24 months (was 11 in 18), and jacking up points for stuff like speeding, reckless driving, and even illegal u-turns. Using your phone while driving? That’s now 6 points. Miss yielding to a pedestrian? 5 points. Basically, drive safe or risk losing your wheels (and paying way more for insurance). #Transportation #NYDrivers #LicensePoints00Share
john05+FollowRail Merger Drama: Farmers Could Lose BigUnion Pacific and Norfolk Southern want to merge, but this could spell disaster for U.S. farmers. Less competition means higher shipping costs and slower service—especially for Texas, home to the most farms in the country. When two giants team up, it’s usually the little guys (and your grocery bill) that pay the price. Even other railroads are saying this is a bad idea. Should we really let two companies control our food supply chain? #Transportation #RailMerger #Farmers00Share
Amber Mcguire+FollowMinnesota’s week: Clipper train brings heavy snowMinnesota is bracing for a classic winter blast as the clipper train rolls through this week, promising a fresh blanket of snow across the state. For anyone planning to drive, shovel, or just enjoy the winter scenery, expect several inches—enough to make commutes tricky and turn neighborhoods into snowy wonderlands. Local meteorologist Sven Sundgaard says the heaviest snow will hit midweek, so it’s a good time to prep your snow gear and check in on neighbors. How do you feel about another round of snow? Are you excited or dreading the shoveling? #Transportation #MinnesotaWeather #SnowStorm00Share

For anyone used to small-town living, the sheer scale of DFW traffic is a shock to the system.

How do you cope with the chaos on the roads? Share your best DFW traffic survival tips or vent about your worst commute! #Transportation #DFWtraffic #DallasFortWorth00Share
john05+FollowAkron ramps closing: What to expect on Route 8Major changes are coming for anyone driving through Akron on Route 8.

This is part of a $158 million project to replace the old 1,500-foot bridge with two new ones. Expect detours if you use the Glenwood, Perkins, or Buchtel ramps. It’s going to mean longer commutes and new routes for years, so planning ahead is a must. How will this impact your daily drive?

Michael Smith+FollowSnowstorm turns I-71 into a whiteout mazeDriving on I-71 in Kentucky this week looked more like navigating a snow-covered field than a highway. A pair of truckers shared their wild ride, where the road was buried under thick snow and tire tracks were barely visible. At one point, the driver even wondered aloud, “Where’s the road?” It’s a real reminder of how quickly winter weather can change travel plans and test even the most experienced drivers. Have you ever faced conditions like this? How do you handle driving when the road disappears under snow? #Transportation #KentuckyWeather #Snowstorm00Share
umccall+FollowAkron’s Route 8 ramp changes: What to expectCommuting on Route 8 in Akron just got a lot more complicated. Starting today, northbound drivers will be rerouted onto a new bridge, and three key ramps—including the Glenwood Avenue exit—are closed until late 2027. This is all part of a massive $158 million bridge replacement project that’s set to last until summer 2028. Expect new detours, shifting lanes, and occasional restrictions between Glenwood and Perkins. If you drive this route daily, how do you think these changes will impact your routine? Let’s talk about how we’ll navigate the next few years together. #Transportation #AkronTraffic #Route800Share
