Another week, another tidbits and links list! If you have links & tidbits to suggest, or a photo to showcase on these posts, e-mail me at thebuzzer@translink.ca.

• Zach Shaner has a great post comparing Vancouver transit against Seattle transit. His article spawned a number of discussions elsewhere: Paul Hillsdon examined Metro Vancouver’s bus frequencies after Zach’s charts, and then Seattle Transit Blog put Zach’s post up for discussion. Much to digest!
• The National Post launched a poster campaign for Toronto subway etiquette which has been making the rounds online (the nail clipper one = yes). Folks in the Vancouver Livejournal community weighed in from our side.
• Japadog will open in front of Waterfront Station at the end of April!
• The Tyee looks at the rise of bike and car sharing. Sort of related: Denver launched its bike sharing system last week.
• Edmonton launched the latest extension of its LRT system on Monday: here’s the Edmonton Journal’s coverage.
• Regarding Place has a great article from the end of March about how Vancouver became a transit city for 17 days.
• There’ll soon be one less TransLink on the west coast: if you hadn’t heard already, the TransLink card from San Francisco is changing its name to Clipper on June 16.
• Jarrett Walker from Human Transit showcases some rather beautiful real-time system maps from San Francisco.
• New York City Transit releases its annual station-by-station breakdown of subway ridership. The New York Times had a go at interpreting the results (includes a nice graph).
• From 2008: Serious Eats asked is it rude to eat on mass public transit? (The answer seems to be “Yes”.)
• The City of Vancouver’s bike department is currently asking people about which bike routes are “rough rides” — a.k.a. which ones have deteriorating pavement quality. See their Facebook page for more.
• L.A. Metro’s amazing historical library now has its own blog!
• This cyclist literally goes insane to win ultracycling races. (via Kottke.org)
• Finally, here’s a lovely shot of our SkyTrain.
