Hi, I’m Natalie Makhijani. You are a person who has found my website. I am a college student and intern at MTA, focusing on transit performance. This website exists to encourage me to write.

The name comes from the message turnstiles display upon the use of a free MetroCard transfer. The header is meant to look like the vacuum fluorescent display that message would appear on.

Some current interests of mine are, in no particular order:

• modern rail signaling
• rapid transit service management
• institutional histories
• taking pictures of things <- (trying to do this one more)

If you want to contact me, my email is mail at xferok dot com. This website doesn’t have comments, but if you email me about something on it, chances are I’ll mention that.

I’d like to be on Bluesky less, but you’ll probably still find me over there.
