Massive LT capital project and construction planning headache incoming... But likely worth it. Do you prefer to see your evil neighbor use the gauge he forced on you 150 yrs ago to invade you? Or increase connectivity to the broader EU network? Which way, modern Finns? 😉🚄 #infrastructure

The NTSB found the object that struck the cockpit windshield of a United Boeing 737 MAX 8 over Utah on Oct. 16 was a high‑altitude weather balloon. The impact cracked the right‑side windshield at FL360, showered both pilots with glass and forced the flight to divert. - More on hype.aero

We tried Bolt (TNC) for the first time in Portugal. I reported a very bad CX. Bolt barely acknowledged the issue and wants to throw 2€ at us to "solve the case". 🤣 Well... They'll just never get our business again. 🤷♂️ Rule No. 1: Never insult your customers' intelligence. 😎

Btw read this post literally. Statement is nonpartisan and applies to all situations where political demagogy and special interests conspire to kill #multimodality. 🙄 #mobility
My takeaway of this headline is that a multimodal nation is a resilient nation. We deserve good air, rail, and ground #transportation. When a mode or system is down, you can rely on others to get you where you need. And also it gives more choice to users/consumers. 🚲🚗🚋🚅🚁✈️ #mobility #resilience
As many as 20% of flights could be canceled if the government shutdown continues, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said this week.
