About This Blog

Dare to Dissemble is my little online ranting place, where I air my thoughts about the ridiculous state of affairs at the University of Alberta--a formerly strong public institution with tons of potential being driven into the ground by inept governance and irresponsible government funding policies. Comments are welcome, but not expected. Like most blogs on the internet, this one languishes in obscurity and is read for the most part by its proprietor.

Mass Transit Redux

Since I already linked to the animation of the London tube system, why not also highlight the New York subway system as well.  A couple of things I did not realize came to light watching this:  (1) the earliest fragments were actually some stretches of elevated train in Brooklyn; and (2) one of the very first subway lines was my old IRT (123) line running up the west side of Manhattan. Good times.

Update:  link fixed.
