THANK YOU!!!! (+a brief preview of the next big video)
🕑 Added 2025-12-05 17:38:48 +0000 UTCFriends, thank you SO MUCH to everyone who has signed up for Patreon over the past couple days, and indeed to everyone who has been here for longer than that! It's been insane seeing the number of supporters grow, and we're now at over 2,000 patrons! This so far exceeds any expectations I had when I started this, and especially for a channel under 100,000 subscribers, it's just such an overwhelming amount of support...I can't thank you all enough for, to be completely honest, FULLY FUNDING the adventures I'm able to take for the channel!! I really hope that the video output has made you feel like your money has been going to a decent place - I still have a lot of comments on here I need to respond to, but I just had to show my appreciation for everyone first. I'm so glad I don't have to worry about making perfect thumbnails or taking a million sponsors (well, except Manta, but those are just extremely fun to do), and I'm so extremely grateful that my odd, chaotic style of videomaking about extremely niche topics has managed to garner such an amazing, supportive audience.
I have big plans for next year: some huge international trips (including a couple of forays to a new continent for me), the return of a beloved series (or multiple?), and attempting to edit my way through a massive backlog that includes a 24-hour Clipper Card challenge, a trip to Paris, and - possibly what I'm most excited to edit once I'm done with the December suite - the overland journey to a small French collectivity off the coast of Newfoundland that many of the geography foamers in the audience will know the name of! ;) Plus I'll be doing even more fun stuff whose plans I need to lock in with my friends: more least used stations, more trip reports, and some potentially insane challenges...
I realize this feels more like a look-ahead to 2026 when I am still very much working my way through the end of 2025, but please enjoy a sneak preview of what will hopefully be coming out in two weeks' time! This could end up being very different depending on how the rest of the video pans out (my editing process is very vibes-based) and I could end up splitting this one into two parts as well if the pacing makes sense, but the least I can do is give everyone a look at what's coming next! I think it's going to be a good one ;)

Aww, thank you so much!!
Milly Duarte
Yes! Clipper Cards š if you take the Golden Grate Transit don't forget to Tap on and Off. It can be expensive otherwise š
Amanda Bruce
Got this as a gift from my hubs for Christmas - best gift ever! Miles, we love watching your videos (and as Clevelanders we appreciate your dealing with our super weird RTA)!
Chris Bailey
Hey it's Kriss just under my legal name ..... I finally made it sorry it's at the lower tier but as my health improves I shall climb the ranks!
Miles in Transit
Hahaha, that is AMAZING to hear! And I believe Dayton has electrified more of the routes now, so I hope you have better luck than us!
Miles in Transit
I really appreciate the kind words, Will - thanks so much!
Miles in Transit
I've had this for a good while! There was just a huge influx with the Mexico to Canada video.
Miles in Transit
Whoa, that's very cool to hear. Thanks so much for watching (and reading!!!) for this long!
Miles in Transit
Ooh, that sounds cool!
Sean Gibson
Love the channel! Great! If anyone would love to try a new channel about trains in China, i hugely recommend Out of Bounds. You can find their latest video by searching āJourney to Chinaās Westernmost Stationā
Ben Cox
Been following you since the early, early days of Miles on the MBTA (I grew up in Cambridge, a few years older than you, and kept hearing from various fellow transit enthusiasts about this funny kid who was reviewing bus stops...). Feel like it's about time I chipped in to support your work!
Zyrian
Tbh I'm surprised you didn't have a Patreon already. With your output I thought this was your full time thing already
Robert Welch
Your honourary Canadian status was strong before but now itās absolutely unquestionable
Will
Miles, you're an inspiration! I'm grateful to you and other urbanist "usual suspects" (like Ray Delahanty) for opening me up to a life lived in the city, car-free, foaming trains and buses while talking about them nonstop to my friends (and anyone who will listen). Your DIY style, loyal friends/viewers' cameos and cavalcade of in-jokes make transit feel not just accessible, but normal (which isn't easy in a car-centered society like the USA). I hope to complete as many of the trips you have in the future (time and money allowing), that should provide a wealth of adventures to delight in!
Cody Price
Thanks to your trackless trolley video, my 5 year old and I are exploring my home town via some of the same routes you and Jackson rode this Christmas. (He was also wildly entertained by your pronunciation of Meijer, and very happy to hear about the text at the bottom saying you figured it out)
Craig Sandin
More Greyhound!!!
Robert Walker
St. Pierre is well worth the visit!
Miles in Transit
Merry Christmas to you as well!!
Miles in Transit
I really appreciate the support, thank you!
Miles in Transit
Thank YOU for coming along!
Miles in Transit
SAME GOES FOR YOU, STORMY!!! We gotta do the other Illinois trains! And I'm sure everyone's wondering what we got up to in Carbondale...
Miles in Transit
Thank you so much!
Miles in Transit
We gotta plan that, Ren! AKA I need to text you and Jay
Miles in Transit
Wow, I really appreciate that!! Maybe someday, but I'm so grateful for the little community we've got now!
Miles in Transit
Thank you so much!
Miles in Transit
I visited Budapest with my family as a teenager and still call it the best transit system I've ever been on. I would LOVE to go back someday!
Miles in Transit
Thank you so much! Shame we missed you as we rode Montreal's underground BRT network!
Miles in Transit
Duly noted! Definitely got a couple things planned, but alas my backlog is now so large that the limitation is slots rather than needing to pad things out with local stuff...
Miles in Transit
Dude, that's AMAZING! I'm so glad to have inspired such fantastic-sounding adventures!
Miles in Transit
Always!
Miles in Transit
Oh boy, that part was...a pain!
Miles in Transit
Thank you so much for the kind words!!!
Miles in Transit
This is possibly what I'm most proud of is being able to change people's vocabulary to conform to mine, heh heh heh >:) (thank you so much!!)
Miles in Transit
Thanks so much!
Miles in Transit
We're filming one in a matter of weeks, don't worry!
Miles in Transit
Thank you!!!
Miles in Transit
Unfortunately this was filmed on my middle-period camera with really terrible audio, so a directors cut would be a lot more effort to put together...I'm not sure if I'm prepared for that time commitment :(
Miles in Transit
A transit service Ontario Traffic Man had never heard of?? Now THAT'S exciting...
Miles in Transit
Thank you very much!
Miles in Transit
Always! I'm so grateful that you feel that way - I love how welcoming this whole community is!
Miles in Transit
Definitely got some Europe stuff coming up! Heck, I still have some videos from my Spain trip a few years ago I need to edit, including a high speed journey...
Miles in Transit
Hey, I really appreciate the support - thanks for lending a bit of your college budget over! The Clipper Card video is going to be VERY fun.
Miles in Transit
Thanks so much, Matthew! Usually I'd have videos up here a week early, but these big ones are taking a lot more time to put together!
Miles in Transit
I really appreciate the kind words, thank you!
Miles in Transit
Thanks so much!!!
Miles in Transit
In all seriousness I do need to get myself up to Vermont sometime!
Miles in Transit
Keep an eye out next year...
Miles in Transit
Thank you so much, David!
Miles in Transit
Nothing planned right now unfortunately! But I would not have a hard time getting Aleena to go there someday - Vietnam is very much a bucket list country for her!
Miles in Transit
I gotta do more of them! Thanks so much for subscribing!
Miles in Transit
Thank you so much!!!
Miles in Transit
We went to Paris last year, actually - I still need to edit all the videos we filmed! Really sorry we missed you, but you can correct us on all the stuff we got wrong at least!
Miles in Transit
I gotta wait for her to get back from Taiwan! She's there for 11 months on a Fulbright right now.
Miles in Transit
Ugh, so unfortunately, we filmed this video on that kinda middle-period camera I had that has REALLY bad audio, so I don't see myself doing a director's cut for this one because it would require so much subtitling. The nice thing about the West Coast one was that I could just put it together without any effort, but here I'd have to mess with the audio a ton and I don't know if it's worth the time crunch...
Amtrak Acela Productions
I'm am looking forward to the 12 hour director cut of crossing Canada by bus
Essss
If you donāt marry this woman after all the nonsense she deals with, Iām questioning your judgment. Thanks for all the wonderful content you provide. It reminds me, I need to upgrade my Patreonage from Poor Bid level.
FĆ©lix
Just finished watching the eleven hours of your odyssey from Mexico to Canada, and it was amazing, as always! Quite a strength to spontaneously create a video that long while still being very entertaining all along. Great to see that you're coming to Paris next year. I'm a fellow transit planner at Ćle de France MobilitĆ©s, so let me know if you need help or insights!
Kelly R
I have been a fan for years but only just caved and got the patreon! I have never been more glad to have signed up for one <3
Specific Language
Just became a patron after all these years, 100% worth it, your videos are so fun to watch. As a Boston native and a Seattle transplant it's awesome seeing so much love for both on the channel. Hope I can stop by a meetup one of these days :)
Benjamin Farah
I wonder if we could get you to come to South East Asia; plenty of interesting transit systems beyond the headliners.
David Rosenstein
Iām not sure thereās anyone out there who cares about the content they make the same way you do. Your enthusiasm has gotten me to care about things I didnāt even think about before watching your channel. Canāt wait for 2026!
Yangzexuan Zhang
Bring back the Great Race series!!!
Norris Blackburn
So excited for the ultimate Canadian Dollars adventure
Patrick Delahanty of FanCons.com
Oh, Canada!
Ryan 7-7
I love your videos but once again... mohr vermont content would probably get your channel up to a million subscribers because judging buy the amount of NY/NJ and MA license plates multi millions of people love vermont. So obviously vermont content would make your channel pop soooooo much more!
Hero-zero
Miles, we're do glad to have you man! Keep up the hard work! šŖš¾ you're doing so well!
PSP Geezer
First, I agree with all the other commentors who enjoy your enthusiasm for transit (and diners), your ability to make even the most mundane places interesting, and all the fun little extras (like songs for bathroom reviews and trip reports). Also, I much appreciate your exhaustive documentation exposing both the good and bad things about the transit you use. Totally worth it to support your channel.
Matthew Rosenberg
Iāve been watching for a few years but finally joined the Patreon and so happy to be here, love following along on social media and having a sense of what videos might be coming soon
heyitshaystack
Canāt wait for the 24-Hr Clipper Card challenge as someone whose introduction to transit was in the Bay Area!!! Congrats Miles, and Iām very happy to be here :) (thanks for keeping the patreon affordable, this broke college student is very happy :3)
Eltiempo10
Your enthusiasm is infectiousā¦ Iāve even got my entire family as fans of yours now. I watched your last video on a high-speed train between France and Germanyā¦ And I could only think how much fun youād have doing some European rail journeys. Maybe taking the EU rail pass on seeing how much you could get out of it in certain amount of days.
chocolate~eclaire
Congrats Miles! From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for making this corner of the Internet an inclusive and safe place for everyone! š³ļøāā§ļø
David is Hungry
Hey Miles! Iām happy to help out in anyway that I can. Your videos are a lot of fun and extremely informative.
Ontario Traffic Man
I am so excited for the cross-Canada bus video(s)! I can't wait to hear more about what it's like to ride those intercity services. I had never even heard of DRL before your journey
Tim Hull
This looks awesome! Have been waiting for this (and your last video) since I was following your posts on Bluesky this summer. Hoping thereās an extended directors cut of this one as well - still only 2.5 hours into the one for your last video!
Elise Mae
"Locking in with friends" might be my favorite part of your channel, Miles. I'm sure it takes a lot of logistical planning, as you mention. But it's wonderful to have the local expertise and even better to enjoy the esprit de corps among you and your crew.
Ryyy
Love you and your beautiful chaos, Miles!!
logan
miles in transit 4ever!!!!!!
Shawn
Completely deserved! I love the exotic stuff, but we really need an old school traipsing around NYC video with Jeremy! š
Jeb Rach
Wait, a ferry, a menu shot, AND a fun fact all in the first 3 minutes of the next video?!?! Shut up and take my money!
Jonathan Sergent
go ride the weird australian busways!!!!
Michael K
You stoooopid hdjwodjhe I do this ironicolly aucuudme, trains. Jk love your content and congrats
jay
so glad i found this channel this year, your videos have gotten me really excited about public transit again! (and also altered my entire apartmentās vocabulary, āfoamerā and ādiner!ā are permanent mainstays now)
Bryan Harvey
I saw you and Aleena were interviewed by the CBC about your journey, so Iāve been looking forward to this one.
Jon Ross
You have an incredible patron to subscriber ratio because your adventures are so good it makes people want to be part of it, your in jokes help us feel a sense of community, and your humor, style, and special guests make each video endlessly entertaining. Wherever your travels take you, you know weāll be watching and enjoying!
Victor Rousseau TrƩpanier
can't wait to see the video and finding out how you did the QuƩbec to new Brunswick part ! I was sure that only via rail connect the two provinces by transit!
J dubs
Love British Columbia
JeroenL
No, thank YOU for keeping the Patreon so affordable!
Andrew Franklin
Your channel has inspired me! In the last year, I have visited 6 foreign countries and I made an effort to ride all of the public transit that I could in each one!! It was intimidating at times, especially in places where English (my first language) was nonexistent. But I thought to myself, āMiles and his friends would do it.ā Thanks a million! Looking forward to the miles ahead.
Allison Joseph
Yes! Aleena is the best!
Rebecca Mundschenk
I love everything and everyone in the MIT universe!
Max
Youāre the goat of transit YouTube man, keep up the good work! Honestly this post has reminded me that since Iāve been watching you for so long (I think 4 years atp), I kinda miss the earlier era of lower budget hyper-local Philly/Boston content. Thereās something really interesting about showing the unique parts of a system youād ride everyday anyway versus one youād travel across the world to see. Iām not sure if Iām the only one that likes those kinds of videos more (the Boston ferry ones were some great recent examples!) but I definitely hope 2026 will feature those types of vids too in addition to the bigger production ones!
Chris Leroux
Because I had followed the trip religiously on Twitter, I didn't even realize that you hadn't released the video yet. I can't wait! I'm sad that I wasn't able to say hello as you stopped in Montreal. I was coincidentally coming into Bonaventure Station like 30 minutes after you left, a coin's toss from the Megabus departure area. Keep up the amazing work! I absolutely love your editing style. It's extremely charming and all of the Patreon support is because of how authentic you are on camera.
MƩrƩsz Dani
I just hope one day I'll see a video from my hometown, Budapest :) Lots of cool tram rides, subways and a funicular.
Charles Reiche
I'm 15 minutes into Movement's interview. Now I think I'll hold off on the interview until this drops.
Matthew Harris
I already know which Province of Canada is going to be Miles' favorite: Many Tuba!
Eric Hanson
Your love for transit is infectious. You provide so much entertainment and education thatās invaluable to society, chaos and all! I canāt wait to see where you get up to next year (really hope youāre implying visiting places in Asia cause Iād love to see your take) but excited to see you ply through my hometown of Edmonton on your cross Canada bus trek. I lived in Vancouver and now Toronto, and between the three cities, itās light and day in so many ways. All the best to you and your family (I really need another family trip soon) and Aleena. May 2026 see you cruising higher!
mae
thank you so much for your incredible work! you deserve all the growth you get and more - i recall coming across your channel with the video where you took a greyhound across the country and thought that you mustāve had at least 500k subscribers at the time, it was very refreshing to get such high quality content from a creator your size ^^
Ren Zaro Fitzgerald
I for one am very excited for a January with Miles in Transit ;)
Jules Wang (Less Ice)
Get your BC Ferries poker faces on!
