"Rough draft" crap[edit]
Old bus stuff[edit]
The transit network focuses on point-to-point service with some routes having different destinations but sharing the same core segments. Many routes serve downtown Madison and the University of Wisconsin- Madison where transit usage is high.
The vast majority of service updates reflected in this section went into effect in June 2023. Significant changes include the restructuring of the main route network, including the discontinuation of the previous transfer point system, and the reintroduction of lettered routes replacing the previous numbering system. Although a small amount of weekday commuter routes remain numbered for administrative reasons. The University of Wisconsin circulator system was largely unaffected by the changes and retain its previous numbers/ routes.

History[edit]
The history of transit in the city began in 1879 when the first horse-drawn trolleys operated by the Eau Claire City Railway Co. began service. Eau Claire was the third city in Wisconsin to adopt the method of transport. The city was also a pioneer in the use of electric-powered trolleys, being one of the first in the United States to adopt this mode of transportation in the 1880s. The system was the first in the country to heat trolley cars using electricity, a development influenced by the state’s climate.[1][2] By 1907, the interurban network stretched as far as Chippewa Falls.[3]
However, the system started to decline by the mid 1920s and the first buses started replacing the streetcar lines in 1930. Three years later buses had completely replaced the trolley network and the rail lines were abandoned. This transition was an early example of what would become a broader trend across the nation, where buses were viewed as a more financially prudent compared to the fixed routes and infrastructure required for trolleys.[4] Near the end of the decade, due to financial difficulties, the city sold the network to an area investor and was privately run as Eau Claire Transportation Co. [5][6] The company continued to run regions transit system for the next several decades until the mid 1970s when it was sold back the city and renamed Eau Claire Transit.[7]
In 1985, the city built a central transit center in the downtown area, which was intended to be a temporary location until a permanent transit center could be constructed. However, this temporary arrangement lasted for 36 years. Construction of the new transit center began on September 17, 2021, on the same site as the temporary 1985 transit center.

Flaming Pile[edit]
USApple Association is a Virginia based nonprofit trade association for growers, marketers, equipment producers and related groups dealing with apples. The organization has members within forty states of the United States of America and advocates on behalf of 7,500 apple growers and 400 companies in the apple business. Their services include lobbying for the industry's interests at all the branches of the federal government and the public and to provide educational information. The association also provides industry specific data and newsletters for growers. It also strives to provide all U.S. apple industry the means to profitably produce and market apples and apple products.
The associations runs a website that supplies information for the public on all different apple cultivars grown in the United States. As they write, there are close to 100 cultivars grown commercially in the United States, but about 90% of the production consists of the 15 most popular cultivars.
NFL Sunday Ticket and NFL RedZone[edit]
NFL Sunday Ticket is a subscription-based package that allows out of market regional games to be watched in full. Starting with the 2023 NFL regular season, YouTube TV and YouTube Primetime Channels, will offer NFL Sunday Ticket.[8] It will be exclusive to YouTube platforms in the US and available on streaming devices, mobile apps, smart TVs, as well as most web browsers.[9][10][11] Due to contractual reasons, national and in-market games are unavailable on the service. Sunday Ticket is also typically subject to the same blackout rules as local broadcasts.[12][13] Satellite broadcast company DirecTV previously offered Sunday Ticket from the inception of the product in 1994 until the end of the 2022 regular season.[14][15]
In Canada, NFL Sunday Ticket is available via the streaming service DAZN and on cable and satellite providers. This is due to Canadian law generally preventing one provider from offering a package on an exclusive basis.[16][17]
A similar service is available on NFL GamePass International and local providers outside of the USA and Canada. Blackout restrictions vary on an individual country basis due to network exclusivities.[18][19]
NFL RedZone is a premium network featuring whip-around coverage of regular season Sunday afternoon games in progress. The channel prides itself on showing "every touchdown from every game" using simulcasts from the relevant CBS and FOX feeds. It is available on many cable, streaming, and satellite providers in the United States, as well as several international services.[20][21]
