A few weeks ago, #Atlanta Beltline Inc posted a video doubling down on rail transit. Just tried to find it today, and now its deleted: youtube.com/watch?v=...
Interesting... Luckily, I saved the video transcript before it was deleted: pastebin.com/Zg4frzSM

Walking from West End MARTA to the @letspropelatl.bsky.social Blinkies Ceremony definitely leaves something to be desired. Great event however and congrats to the award winners!

So the Southside Rail pivot is ALSO phase 2? I don't want to understate this but the #Atlanta Mayor's office is basically claiming the original 2018 More MARTA project list as their own vision, with the subtle change of delaying (prob eventually killing) trailside Eastside Rail.

On iOS you need the “Userscripts” extension from app store.
Then, go here: raw.githubusercontent.com/nathandaven/... and open the extension and install.
Then, you should beable to refresh the tracker website and “Add to Homescreen” as an app.

The new @MARTAtransit tracker is extremely good. It allows you to track all busses and trains live on one map with great accuracy. tracker.itsmarta.com/
However, they didn't allow a PWA that allows you to install it as an app. Heres a userscript that can hack this to work:

New video! Raleigh, NC is a great case study for a mid sized city dealing with a housing crisis. I got the opportunity to interview the exiting mayor and former city councilmember, @maryannbaldwin.bsky.social on the subject. This is my longest video yet! Watch now: youtu.be/98cwl6QJ7EU

Baffling how Andre Dickens is single handedly killing #Atlanta Eastside Beltline Rail, set for completion by 2028 after decades of study hell, in favor of more decades of study hell for Southside Beltline Rail (which has absolutely no funding or plans). TLDR - we all lose.

New video! Over the holidays, I took Amtrak from Atlanta to Raleigh, and while Atlanta's service is pretty brutal, Charlotte northward is particularly incredible! Lets dive into the Piedmont/Carolinian service and how that came to be. Watch the video here: youtu.be/qh1B0F-O1hw

RIP Donald Shoup (shoupdogg.com), the legendary professor behind "The High Cost of Free Parking." hopefully we will continue to feel the impacts of his work for parking reform for decades to come!

Happy snowpocalypse 2025 #Atlanta! Really shows how much space we waste for cars.
Pictured: a quiet, serene walk down Ponce de Leon Ave, normally a congested car sewer. 🌨️☃️

Gm #Charlotte! Y’all, the CATS Blue Line and #RailTrail is extremely cool.
This is how great the #Beltline will be once getting rail transit, and Charlotte proves it works extremely well!
