We mark 100 straight weeks by revisiting our 2025 transit list and tracking which projects delivered results. Chicago’s frequent buses, NYC’s congestion pricing, LA’s push for speed and access, and new lines in Dallas and Honolulu show how funding, design, and frequency reshape cities.

• Chicago launches 10-minute bus corridors and upgrades Red and Purple stations
• Illinois passes SB 211 for governance reform and $1.5bn annual transit funding
• NYC congestion pricing raises hundreds of millions and cuts traffic
• Debate on free buses, with MTA prioritizing signals, fleet, and safety upgrades
• Boston clears slow zones and restores subway speed
• LA overhauls the G Line, expands bus-lane cameras, opens the LAX hub
• Dallas opens the Silver Line orbital to DFW
• Honolulu Skyway reaches the airport with phase two
• Phoenix adds five-plus miles of light rail
• Austin’s Rapid 800 and 837 grow ridership, frequency remains the lever
• Community highlights, advocacy links, and plans for 2026 content
