jumbach Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Hi everyone, I've posted this in my own journal, but thought I'd go here as well: Anybody else collect transit timetables, maps, flyers, etc.? I've got box after box of stuff I've collected over the years; sadly, most of it will have to go bye-bye in preparation for my upcoming marriage. Since I can't bear to just throw my beloved transit collection away, I'm offering portions of my collection free to good homes. Just let me know, and I'll whip up about 3-4 lbs worth of stuff for you. Requests for particular things will be accepted, but not guaranteed. (Most of the systems are ones I've actually ridden; others are things I've bought/traded for.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Another transit fan, eh? I used to collect timetables from the old RTD system in L.A. where I grew up, but I no longer do. I'm still interested in transit issues, though. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric It was a stretch, but I figured if someone can go all over the country riding coasters, maybe there's somebody else like me who does it with buses and trains. I rode the LACMTA a few years ago; in fact, I got a special tour of the Red Line Hollywood extension before it opened. It was a lot of fun to go mucking around in the tunnel two years before opening. LACMTA, MetroLink, and Culver CityBus are the only L.A. Co. systems I've ridden. BTW, my soon-to-be-Wifey likes my transit-geekiness and wants me to continue. I just have to offload the scheds because, well, there are two of us now, and some stuff has to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 ^ You're very lucky that your wife supports your interest. Mine thinks my interest in this is stupid. It would have been cool to be able to check out a subway tunnel before it opened. Glad you had the chance. There isn't much transit-wise up here in Ventura County, so I get down to L.A. to ride the Metro trains whenever I can. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
