The @bikeshare.bsky.social station at 25th & S Streets SE recently went out of service without notice. Would it be possible to get an update on when riders can expect it to be back online? Thanks!

Curious why @wmata.com has Rte C37 serve both of these stops located less than 0.5 block apart? If the bus is waiting at a red light it of course makes sense to open the door & let people out. But this morning, two C37’s were offloading at PA/Potomac making it difficult for the D10 to serve the stop

I get that rising operational costs mean higher prices, but these @bikeshare.bsky.social hikes are wild:

🚲 Membership fee: ⬆️ 26%
⚡ Member e-bike: ⬆️ 50%
🚲 Nonmember classic: ⬆️ 200%
⚡ Nonmember e-bike: ⬆️ 133%

That’s not inflation—it’s a wallop that will likely lead to a decrease in usage.

This morning, I sent an email to @ddotdc.bsky.social’s transit planning team urging them to relocate the bus shelter from the discontinued stop at Naylor Rd & S St SE to the new stop on 27th & R. Our community deserves the same access to weather-protected transit as wealthier parts of DC.

Today’s the day @wmata.com’s BetterBus routes officially rolled out! Just before 1 AM, I rode the inaugural westbound D10 from Randle Highlands to Eastern Market. By pure chance, on my way back I caught the final eastbound 32. A fitting farewell and fresh start all in one ride!

The W/B 32 stop at Naylor Rd & S St SE—one of the few serving 7B03 with a shelter—is being cut under @wmata.com BetterBus. We’re asking @ddotdc.bsky.social to ensure a shelter is installed at one of the new stops on 27th St (R or Q). What needs to happen to keep this shelter in our community?

Just saw this bus stop sign on 4th St SW just south of Independence Ave—but D10 only turns north onto 4th, and D1X doesn’t use 4th at all. Pretty sure this sign belongs on Independence just east of 4th. @wmata.com can you double check placement?
June 27, 2025 at 8:24 PM
We’re 10 days from the @wmata.com Better Bus launch, and I’m concerned about readiness & communication. The Naylor & R stop is being cut, but signs don’t say where to go. The new stop at 27th & R has no signage, and ADA upgrades haven’t started. Riders deserve better planning and communication.

As I see the new @wmata.com #BetterBus signs roll out across the region I’ve noticed a glaring error: every D1X sign is incorrect. All eastbound signs say the destination is Archives and westbound signs say Naylor Rd. I’ve noticed the same with Bus C37. Please fix before 6/29 to avoid confusion.

Route 32 is a 24 hour bus with 20 minute or better intervals “at all times” and yet here we are during Tuesday rush hour and there’s a 30 minute wait for a bus. What’s happening, @wmata.com?

Also, most of the bikes in the racks are e-bikes. Has @bikeshare.bsky.social considered virtual racks near stadiums on event days? Incentivizing e-bike riders to use virtual racks would help keep physical racks open for standard bike users, whose only option is finding an open dock.

Hey @bikeshare.bsky.social, once again, well before the start of the #WashSpirit game, every station near the stadium was completely full. It’s clear they weren’t emptied in prep for the event. Big events need better planning—emptied racks or valets should be the standard.

For the 1st time in US history, a Speaker of the House was ousted yesterday because MAGA extremists GOP were pissed McCarthy partnered with DEMs on passing a budget.

In an ironic twist, this historic vote was only possible because these MAGA extremists GOP sided with the DEM caucus on the vote.

Making my first BlueSky post from Soldier Field in Chicago where I’m watching legendary footballer Megan Rapinoe play her final match with the USWNT. The stadium is full of nothing but love and appreciation for Rapinoe. Congratulations on an amazing career, and thanks for the memories!
