Think you're all caught up on the latest transit news? Listening to Yonah Freemark of the Transport Politic and Jeff Wood of the Overhead Wire (my lovely co-host) geek out on the transit construction projects of 2014 and 2015 is a humbling, and surprisingly energizing, experience.

You can prep for this episode by reading Yonah's seventh annual compendium of "Openings and Construction Starts Planned for 2015," or you can just hit play right now.

You thought the Oakland airport connector was a good idea just because it's transit? Get schooled. Didn’t know the country was getting its first car-free bridge just for buses/rail/bikes/peds? Learn about it here. Wondering how escalator length affects subway ridership? Yup, you'll hear it here first, folks.

With that, I present: Yonah and Jeff on the transit starts of 2014 and 2015.
