Started using transit regularly in 6th grade and was also biking occasionally then, though it was not really a mode of transportation for me until senior year of college. (not counting a very bike-heavy summer abroad)

Sacramento took over control of SR 160 in 2000, and while it's still not great (3 lane one way pair through dense walkable Midtown), there are definitely some traffic calming measures there that wouldn't have been put in under Caltrans control.

What two bills have gotten the pocket signature?

Anecdotally they often seem to be overheating or something -- the fans turn on like a massive laptop computer and end up causing just as much noise pollution as a diesel bus.

I don't know how traffic safety in Oakland could get worse but I'm sure it will

When are we going out to the Davis freeway overpass to put up protest signs? @ecosacramento.bsky.social

I miss riding those side engine cabinet Van Hools every day on the 51B! Incredibly spacious with the full low floor

These gates have shut on me while I was trying to go through 4 times so far. It happens when I tap a valid Clipper card while the gate is still open after someone else. A few seconds later it closes on my body. So far I haven't been injured.

Also, I can no longer see my Clipper balance when I tag.

There was a novelty factor, but now that it's worn off I think I could do without a bus ride for a day or two.

I think I was supposed to tag off but I was too ecstatic and Sonoma County Transit deserves my extra $1.50

And just a bit of transit ASMR...

Let's call this 32 hours, 19 minutes for the whole run

I'm sure Sonoma County Transit is a great system but I just needed it to check a box. Took this one stop, got off at B St & 7th St, and then hustled back to SMART for the 2:32 train back to Larkspur.
