  2. Decades of thinking that buses are only for poor people has turned us into a nation of poor people with no buses.

  3. For those under car-centric governments that usually underfund public transit and cycle infrastructure, it seems like now is a good time to be on their asses about investment in those things being a national security issue.

    Having transportation independence can be a national security issue that you can pitch to those who don't give a rat's ass about sustainability (as much as they *should* be caring about sustainability...)

  4. Swimming pools. Movie stars.

    “I cannot wait to get on the D Line to Beverly Hills and get my Botox treatments,” said actor Jerry O’Connell, who served as the master of ceremonies for the D Line event.

  5. #MARTA changed the bus route from Arts Center to Underwood Hills.

    Now #PublicTransit option is not a terminal stop (which was optimal!)

    Have to walk 4 streets and be on time.

  6. Cool episode of Your City Could Be Better about Nashville’s bench builders & tactical urbanism. 25 min episode. Thanks for making #Nashville just a bit better, friends. 🫶

  7. Made some more progress on the implementation of the “stoptimes” API from MOTIS in Maps.
    Now actually showing departures (or arrivals) in the place details when clicking on a “public transit-type“ place (station etc.), when there's data available in Transitous.
    The rows still only shows the transit mode icon and line number/name (e.g. missing time, destination and so on…)

  8. Who Framed Public Transit in LA?
    -
    Rodger Rabbit is about more than WB and Disney chars goofing off in the same world. What you might not have noticed is its message about how Los Angeles' public transit system was one world class, until it was sabotaged. There's more to the highway plot.

  9. Public transit home worked very well. Made perfect connection to the SMART train (even though the driver disappeared to take a bio break, so it was a little closer than planned) but I actually got an earlier train than planned, so all fine.

    After the train, the bus for the last leg was departing in 15 minutes but since I could walk home in the same amount of time, I just walked it.

  10. @historylink.bsky.social

    116 years ago, we had an operational rail service between Everett and Seattle.
    Today...not so much. 🤷
    One of these days, this part of history may rhyme.

  11. Unreasonably excited to do the first leg of travel up to Seattle today all on public transit. Bus (Petaluma Transit, free!) → Train (SMART train) → Microtransit (SMART Connect)

  12. [ Manĝu Rizon Lavu la Bovlon ]

    Finfine mia sezono finiĝis.

    Mi rememoras pri la monaĥon serĉantan saĝon de majstro ... la zen-majstro anstataŭe demandis:

    "Ĉu vi skiis la tuta sezono?"...
    "Do portu viajn valizojn." !!!

    Kaj en tiu momento al mi ili sentis pli malpezaj.

    ~dolĉa kaj acida~

  13. Attended a photo presentation about connection buses to the Stockholm metro (and the period before that), up until 1967 by Stefan Back from Svenska spårvägssällskapet held at Spårvägsmuseet (Stockholm transport museum).

  14. Atlanta is switching over their Breeze transit cards for MARTA, which means:
    1. the good news is that fare gates are open, no charge;
    2. the bad news is that I don't have another transit card to add to my collection.
