Help me figure out whether transit service planning is still the route I want to take 🥹🗺️🚌
Any service planners in Rhode Island, the Massachusetts South Coast, or the Boston region? 🌊

Currently at a crossroads thinking about long-term plans and I’d love to shadow a transit service planner sometime. I’ve been fascinated by service planning since I was a kid and learning more about their day-to-day work would be really helpful! 🚌🗺️

Two things can be true:
Maduro is a vile despot who stole the election & has caused unimaginable harm & trauma to Venezuelans, including economic collapse & mass migration.
Trump’s invasion of Venezuela has nothing to do with helping Venezuelans & everything to do with Trump’s own power.

I love this story, published 53 years ago today, about the first day of public transit service in Santa Clara County, CA, on January 1, 1973.
It really shows how impactful expanding service to all cities was, even on day 1.
