This is a really interesting result and honestly leads me to conclude that both we need better transit access and rideshare should be a public service
The results? Rideshare access leads to: ↑ employment, ↑ labor force participation, ↓ public assistance, and ↑ marriage among disabled adults. Effects are largest for those with vision/hearing or mobility disabilities & in areas with worse public transit quality. 3/6

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Just got my fare checked on a metro bus for the very first time since at least the pandemic. I've heard people get checked occasionally on the link but never seen it on the bus. Some dude didn't pay and got kicked off (but not fined I think?)
