Sorry Fedifriends, I am going to keep banging on this drum from time to time:

Outstanding Public Transportation System - Monterey-Salinas Transit (MST), Monterey, CA

Did you know that the Toronto Zoo used to run a monorail (ish)?
The 5.6km transit system closed down in 1994. However the concrete structure that supported the rail is still around in the middle of the forest near Scarborough/Rouge Park.
I knew it was reachable because of an old reddit post and also because we can see it from Google Maps.
But I didn't know "how" to get there. So with a few friends we decided to find out

FYI - The Monterey-Salinas IT department issued a RFI (Request For Information) this last Friday to gather data ahead of plans to replace our closed, proprietary GoPass Bus Pass with one that uses an open, non-proprietary cEMV solution.
RFI #26-01 can be found here.
