Italy built up a rail network with faster, more frequent, and more reliable train service over the last century.

Their system was outdated in the early 20th century, but is now far better than that of the US. So how did they modernize and what can the US learn from Italy?

What’s going on with the Youth Ride Free Leaderboard? Well, we’re sending out weekly newsletters to participants. It’s one-part rankings, one-part event calendar, and a dash of awesome sauce. Check it out and join the leaderboard (if you’re 13-18): ow.ly/9uOm50W3391

This is a glaring example of how bureaucracy can block progress in public transit.

The proposed 680X express bus between Martinez and Dublin is REQUIRED to use hydrogen fuel cell buses, something that makes zero practical sense.

So this is cool: Yesterday was Earth Day 🌎💚 AND it was also *our first day of 2025 with more than 200,000 riders*!

Bay Area transit agencies have seen increasing ridership in the first 3 months of the year. BART ridership was up almost 6.5% from 2024.

Come ride with us!

Just got fare inspected on @bart.gov for the first time ever.

BART is doing a great job at keeping the system safe and clean, and ridership is increasing again after plateauing for a bit after COVID.

I might start using bluesky more bc twitter is becoming a conservative echo chamber ☹️

I wish they would add transcon flights from LaGuardia, it’s undeniably a better airport than JFK or EWR and it’s honestly easier to get to compared to the other two airports. You can get to Manhattan for only $2.90 whereas at JFK taking the bus is super time consuming so ppl just take airtrain
Yes, you could say I’m excited that Porter is coming to LGA.

I've been wondering about the base rate of plane crashes lately given how much they are showing up in the news. My takeaway is that the DC crash is definitely an outlier event, but the rest of the stories are strictly due to narrative gravity. There's actually been *fewer* this year vs. last year.
