Metro adding lights at some bus stops to help rail riders catch their bus

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:58:18 GMT

Metro is testing a new system they say will help rail riders catch their connecting bus a little easier.New strobing bus transfer lights at some bus stops located outside of Metrorail stations will alert operators when a train is approaching the station during off-peak hours so they can delay the bus by up to five minutes, giving people exiting the train a little more time to catch their bus connection.Metro said in a news release that the bus transfer lights are going to be near bus stops that serve lower-frequency routes, “where missing a bus by a few minutes may delay an important trip by 30 minutes to an hour.”The goal is to reduce bus waiting times, especially at night.The daily off-peak hours are from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. to midnight.The new bus signal testing began on Saturday at the Greenbelt station where the light signal alerts bus operators on the C2 route of trains approaching near the time their bus is scheduled to depart the station.Source

Brewers’ Rowdy Tellez has surgery after hurting finger in accident, out 4 more weeks

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:58:18 GMT

CINCINNATI (AP) — Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rowdy Tellez had surgery on his left ring finger after injuring himself during pregame warmups and will miss an additional four weeks. Brewers manager Craig Counsell said Tellez was shagging fly balls in the outfield Saturday and got his finger stuck in the padding of the center field wall. Tellez tore his fingernail off and had to undergo surgery to insert 17 stitches and repair a small fracture on the end of the finger. He had been on track to return Tuesday in Philadelphia. “It was a freak accident,” Counsell said Sunday. “Wasn’t sprinting, wasn’t going at a high speed, believe me. I actually saw it. Looked like a very innocent thing. Probably means we won’t see him back with us for four weeks.” Tellez isn’t expected to resume baseball activity for two-to-three weeks. He has been on the injured list since July 5 with right forearm inflammation.Tellez is hitting .213 with 12 homers and 36 RBIs. O...

It comes literally in a flash,” Hochul said. “And in those moments, your car can go from a place of safety to a place of death.”The power is out in about 9,300 homes, mainly in Dutchess and Sullivan Counties, Hochul said, noting utility workers are trying to restore power.“If you’re one of those 9,300 families without your power, it is a frightening time,” she said.More than 5 million people in Southern Connecticut and Southeastern New York, including most of New York City, were under a flash flood warning until 4 p.m. ET., according to the National Weath...
