Adrianna TanI just posted this at work and it seems like not everyone knows this. You can take the Amtrak Coast Starlight from Seattle, Portland, Sacramento, Oakland, San Jose or LA in the other direction, to the Monterey Bay aquarium. On Amtrak.com, simply put Monterey Bay Aquarium as your destination and when you arrive in Salinas station at 12:20pm (daily), there will be a bus that waits for you and picks you up to send you to the doors of the Aquarium by 1:30pm (usually takes just 20min)For a true car-free experience, book a hotel room in New Monterey near the Aquarium, like the Clement Intercontinental, Monterey Plaza, or Wave Street Inn or anything on that side of the tunnel (including Pacific Grove). You can walk / bike the coastal trail. Rent a bike from Work Horse bicycles downtown. If you bring your own bike on the train (check in without boxing!) you can put it on MST city bus no 20, the bus station is 5 min ride away. Wait at and have a taco at Tacos Don Beto next door. There is a small outdoor area for Covid cautious folks. <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Transit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Transit</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Trains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trains</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Amtrak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Amtrak</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Monterey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Monterey</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikeTooter</a>

Tinker ☀️Well shit.I don't usually post bad news (because many here already know it) and try to concentrate on positive things that we can do to effect change.But this sucks and I want to scream into the void.The Amtrak (America's only "national" passenger rail service - there are smaller regional rail services, some that even cross a couple of states, but Amtrak is the only one that really goes all across the nation) CEO was forced to resign.The US has shitty rail service as it is, and Amtrak is often hampered by state governments that don't want passenger rail (they're paid off by car companies, airplane companies, even bus companies, and even even freight RAIL companies).But this just means that passenger rail is going to suck even more in the US and the US regime installs a loyalist to the Amtrak CEO position.Texas can say goodbye to their high-speed rail line from Dallas to Houston:(edit: And to be clear this isn't the worst of any of this by a long shot.
