A great city needs leadership that shares our values, leadership that can anticipate the future and ensure that all residents share in it. A leader brave enough to stand up to bullies & blaze the path forward. That’s why I’m voting for @wutrain.bsky.social Mayor Wu on primary day.

Ebikes are so underrated. You can skip traffic by lanesplitting like a motobike, but you can also use bike lanes, parks, and sidewalks to avoid traffic entirely. I just wish everyone hadn't been brainwashed into thinking cars are cool and city planners would stop making everything bad on purpose.

Has anyone done studies on Connecticut? I feel like the only person who looked into (and rode) CTtransit buses when they were free from 2022 to 2023. It was incredibly successful!

Since Mamdani won the Dem NYC mayor nomination with a free bus proposal, let's talk about free transit.
Research suggests that free transit:
a—increases ridership
b—doesn't get people out of cars
c—benefits youth, elderly & low-income ppl
d—doesn't add employment
e—maybe ups operational efficiency

In Massachusetts our clean energy climate plan is being implemented by the #mapoli MBTA removing these zero emissions trolley buses, dragging its feet on rail electrification & incentivizing auto trips by slow walking the Red Blue Connector.
We’ve had zero emissions buses for well over a century now.

Should a bright, warm day on Newbury St. mean hundreds of people squeeze onto the sidewalk next to noisy, congested cars? I don’t think so.
We should look into pedestrianizing this area, allowing everyone to enjoy the streetscape, like we do in the summer! @mayorwu.boston.gov
