    • The London Map That Changed The World
      Jan 13 2026

      We trace how London turned a messy rail network into a global template for wayfinding, from the Underground roundel to Harry Beck’s diagrammatic map and the Legible London street totems. We compare London’s cohesive design to New York’s hybrid map history and ask what riders truly need now that apps guide most trips.

      • the roundel’s role in unifying London transport
      • Edward Johnston’s type and a shared design language
      • Harry Beck’s diagram and why straight lines work
      • minimal geography versus cognitive clarity
      • New York’s Vignelli map backlash and 2025 redesign
      • station exits, transfer signage, and rider confidence
      • TFL’s cross-mode branding from tube to bikes
      • Legible London pedestrian totems and walking times
      • apps changing navigation habits and expectations
      • how policy, symbols, and maps align for ease


      Let us know what you think of London's impact on transit across the globe!

    • Why A Century-Old Forest Tram Still Beats The Bus
      Jan 6 2026

      We ride the Thuringian Waldbahn from Gotha through forest and small towns, tracing its history and design while asking why systems like this are rare elsewhere. Along the way we test timed transfers, swap notes on fares, and weigh what rural mobility could look like in the US.

      • route overview from Gotha to Waltershausen, Friedrichroda and Bad Tabarz
      • single track operations with passing loops
      • history from 1894 urban tram to 1929 Waldbahn
      • fare simplicity with the Deutschlandticket
      • regional rail links and service frequency
      • lessons for rural transit in the US
      • reflections on identity, tourism and everyday access

    • Top Transit Projects Coming in 2026!
      Dec 30 2025

      Eight new transit links, one very mobile year. We’re diving into the projects that will actually change how U.S. cities move in 2026—from a light rail that glides over a floating bridge to a long‑awaited people mover that finally tames LAX’s traffic loop.

      If you care about frequency, airport access, and walkable neighborhoods, this tour is your roadmap to the projects that matter. Hit play, share with a transit‑curious friend, and tell us which city got it right. Subscribe and leave a review to help more riders find the show.
