When the train sells out over two months in advance, that's a sign that we need to run more trains! @amtrak.com

I read two books in January! Which, for me, is a lot! 😂

There is a memorial in the median of Ashland at Hubbard, a terrifying intersection to cross on foot or by bike.

There are no curb bump-outs, concrete medians, or traffic signals at this intersection, despite multiple protected bike lanes and greenways leading to it.

When are we going to fix this?

They're also in the process of putting down red paint by the UIC-Halsted Blue Line station 👀

Chicago's newest protected bike lane is on Halsted, right near my house, and it's a nice one! Thank you, CDOT! 👏🚲

Barcelona and Madrid both understand that red paint isn't enough to keep cars out of the bus lanes.

It was nice of Chicago to celebrate Cal's Big Game win last night 💙🐻💛

Only the lucky few Californians who live in irrigation districts receive energy at that price!

An underrated benefit of living in multi-family housing is that you consume way less energy and save lots of money. ⚡💰

New protected bike lane going in on Halsted at Roosevelt. Interesting design with the lane in between two lanes of traffic.

With one full month of fast, frequent, electrified service under its belt, Caltrain's Sunday ridership is now 20% above *pre-pandemic* levels and is up *142%* YoY.

Metra, please take note. 👀
