Podcasts about streetcars

Would you let your senior (high school or retirement community) play this game?  Lucy "Big But" Chapman wouldn't.  We bicker about that before turning our attention to major foreign affairs issues (not Ukraine or the Middle East; "misgendering" someone), the Omaha mayoral race, and more.

Streetcars are great for politicians' ribbon cutting events, but not much else. Marc Joffe explains. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's no secret in the world of transit and streetcars that Kansas City has had one of the most successful new streetcar lines in the country. For a two-mile “starter line,” it's had an outsized impact on our city's reputation and civic image. Today, I talk with the man behind RideKC Streetcar, Tom Gerend.Tom is a planner by education, but work took him eventually into the world of transportation planning and now, operations. We talk about how a planner ends up in this kind of role, and how he's managed the start up and operations of a new Authority and transit line. Along the way, we talk about RideKC Streetcar's unique funding stream, and what is next for the future.Find more content on The Messy City on Kevin's Substack page.Music notes: all songs by low standards, ca. 2010.

We kicked off 2024 with an episode with Rep. Earl Blumenauer--https://transit-unplugged.captivate.fm/portland-streetcar--who could be credited for the modern streetcar boom in America, and this week we see how streetcars actually drive billions in economic development in Kansas City. Streetcars aren't just moving people and connecting the city in Kansas City, they are driving businesses like the aptly named Streetcar Grill which stands in what used to be a parking lot.Tom Gerend has been part of the Kansas City streetcar project since the beginning, first as part of the planning organization that put the project in motion and now as Executive Director of KC Streetcar. For Tom, this streetcar network is his baby; it's a project that creates a legacy for all of Kansas City. But that's not where we start off the interview.Historic Union Station in Kansas City was left to rot and ruin; almost demolished from disuse, but a ballot initiative brought it back to life and is now a landmark for the city. Union Station isn't just a transportation hub for the streetcar and Amtrak, it's a gathering place for the entire city. Tom took Paul for a tour of this architectural jewel and everything that's inside, including a model train exhibit and a science museum!From Union Station, Tom takes Paul on the streetcar to tell him all about the network and its contributions to the city. From low floors that make it easy for anyone to board to keeping the system fare-free, KC Streetcar is fast becoming integral to the city.Paul and Tom finish up at the Streetcar Grill and talk more about his career, the plans for the streetcar network, and the economic benefits it's brought to the city.And if all of this sounds amazing, you can see it all on April 11th on Transit Unplugged TV!

Let's be honest, we live in a province that loves to drive. But it wasn't always like this. There was a time when our desire for streetcars was huge. So, why don't we still have them?

Over his five-decade long career in politics Congressman Earl Blumenauer has been a staunch support of transit and livable cities. Paul sat down with Rep. Blumenauer after a chance meeting at the Impact Conference in Phoenix last fall to talk about his life, career, passions, and what's next after he leaves Congress at the end of his term.In their wide-ranging discussion, Paul and Rep. Blumenauer talk about what got him into politics, and more importantly, his lifelong passion for streetcars, transit, livable communities, and bikes. It's not often you get to hear from someone who has had his hand on the wheel of transit policy for so long. From his early work in Portland to create the first modern streetcar line in the U.S. to his continued passion for livable communities that will keep him busy when he retires from Congress at the end of his term this year, you get a true sense of passion and insight into what really moves people.As we come into an election year in the U.S. strong advocacy for transit, sustainability, and more livable cities will be more important than ever.Coming up next week on the show we have Ken Divers and Flora Castillo talking about the SEPTA SCOPE program that's aimed at helping vulnerable populations get the help they need while also making transit safer for everyone.If you have a question, comment, or want to be a guest on Transit Unplugged, email us at info@transitunplugged.com.00:00 Introduction and Welcome01:25 Interview with Congressman Earl Blumenauer05:47 Discussion on Streetcars and Public Transit09:52 Congressman's Career and Achievements24:13 Future Plans and Final Thoughts26:31 Coming up next week on Transit Unplugged

Alexa Stuart (pictured) was key to organizing the People's Blockade of the coal port at Newcastle in New South Wales. For Alexa, the three-day event that successfully halted shipping at the world's biggest coal port was something of a party with music, dancing, and laughter.

The history of public transit in 20th century America was hugely impacted by the General Motors streetcar conspiracy, but was it solely responsible for the death of trolley networks, or were other forces at work? Has “real communism” really been tried? How is building communism like fixing your car? Is the Miata the most UwU car ever? We attempt to answer these questions and more in this week's episode, as well as a brief digression on Australian burnout competitions.

Before automobiles and buses, most city dwellers got around via streetcars. Also called trams, trolleys, or light rail, they are still a big part of mass transit today. In this episode we chart their evolution from simple horse-drawn carts to modern electric-powered trains, and explore how capitalism made them worse, and labor militancy made them better. But first we catch up on our project cars, and Conner pretends to be an an-cap. At least we hope he's pretending.Main topic at 53 min.Notes/Sources:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tram //https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_trams //https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horsecar //https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Louis_streetcar_strike_of_1900 // https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streetcar_strikes_in_the_United_States //Email us with tips, stories, and unhinged rants: carsandcomrades@gmail.comOur social media links etc: linktr.ee/CarsAndComradesMusic from the free album Polygondwanaland by King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard: kinggizzardandthelizardwizard.com/polygondwanaland

Streetcars were a defining feature of what it meant to live in Minneapolis and St. Paul in the early 20th Century. The elimination of the streetcar system in the 1950s, in favor of buses, dramatically reshaped life in the Twin Cities. A number of unusual characters played a role in that switch -- several of whom went to prison. Hannah Sayle and Eric Roper discuss organized crime's impact on Twin City Rapid Transit Company during this period. LINKS: Was organized crime behind the demise of the Twin Cities streetcar system?
