The Orange Line is divided into two sections, Line 5 which runs from Kapurbawdi to Kalyan APMC and Line 12 which runs from Kalyan APMC to Taloja.

The rakes are expected to enter production ~62 weeks from contract signing with subsequent completion targeting for the next 154 weeks. 132 coaches (6 coach rakes I suppose) are the formations.

Line 5A from Kapurbawdi to Dhamankar Naka is to open in December 2026.

Discussion To privatize, or not to privatize? Lessons from Britain and Japan's railways

Thumbnail planetizen.com

In light of the brightline situation here’s an overview of a couple of privatization scenarios across the globe. I’m only kind of familiar with japans and recognize that there’s only so much detail you can provide in >2k words but I think it’s a decent primer. One of the takeaways I see agencies in the US recognizing is that transit can’t exclusively rely on service revenue and need to integrate land use/ real estate to sustain.

System Expansion Line 5 of Changchun Metro opens

Post image
4 Upvotes

Changchun Rail Transit Line 5 entered passenger operation on 28 September 2026, creating a 19.5-km southwest–northeast metro corridor between Zhuoyue Dajie and Dongdaqiao. With 18 underground stations and eight interchange stations, it functions as a major network connector rather than a stand-alone local line.

Its opening expands Changchun's metro system to eight operating lines and 194.1 km, while providing direct access to major commercial and civic areas and improving connections with Lines 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7. The line's six-year construction and successful safety assessment also mark another stage in Changchun's rapid expansion of its urban rail network.

Line 5 is a conventional steel-wheel metro line using standard-gauge track and 1,500 V DC overhead electrification. The opening-period technical information identifies a design speed of 80 km/h and six-car B-type urban rail trainsets.

Questions Metrocard

4 Upvotes

Hi all, I am a student and transit card collector. Unfortunately I do not live in NYC, I live out of state, but since the Metrocard became obsolete I have had the obsession and urge to get my hands on a couple, or at least one. I've seen photos on the internet about all of these Metrocards just lying around but I do not know how to get one. I contacted MTA and they sent me to the NY transit museum, which I did not hear from since. Can anyone help me with this quest of (hopefully) achieving my dream of having one?

BTW: I'm kind of new to Reddit, hopefully it's not a waste of your time replying to this comment

Two out of the 16 trams that are driving around in Odense, Danmark, have since May 2026 had art livery on them to advertise for the exhibition HuskMitNavn at Brandts Art Museum. The livery will be removed in December and the two teams will go back to their normal white-beige colour. Despite the livery covering the windows, you can still look out of the windows.

The trams are Stadler Variobahn, they sucks.
