Congrats to Kaohly Her to winning the Saint Paul Mayoral Election!

I appreciate how this election wasn't nearly as toxic as across the river was.

We all want to see Saint Paul succeed.

It's time to come together as a city, and work together! Regardless of who you supported.

Just witnessed three kids almost get run over by a speeding car running thru a residential stop sign after doing donuts in a parking lot.

The speed that car was going, those kids would be dead if they were hit.

For as much as we hear about homicides, people are crickets over deaths by car.

In 2023, The B Line averaged 8400 riders.

So 3 months in there's 1400 more riders than the previous service.

3 months into the Gold Line there's about 1200 more riders than the previous service (there was no service that wasn't express).

9800 riders per weekday on the B Line in September.

Gold Line ridership is up 600 since its debut.

It takes time for suburban BRT ridership to develop. But just like the Orange Line, we are seeing consistent growth!

Shout-out to the West 7th Fort Road Federation for adopting a bus stop.

And filling the room to the point of standing room only to push for a real solution to West 7th reconstruction and transit!

Are you frustrated with what's happening on West 7th, and the lack of initiative by the county to follow thru and fund transit?

Come thru and share your thoughts with state legislatures and advocate for a transit future on a safer, more livable West 7th.

People like trains for the vibes, and because it historically represents a different level of standard then a bus

But things like the Gold Line, and the D Line can start to shift people's perspectives of what good buses are.

Also, i've talked to more people who actually ride transit who

Really interesting study on shelter needs for trans people experiencing homelessness in MN.

I hope the state/nonprofits are working towards implementing some of the reccomendations.

While 12 to 18 months is true for urban lines. Suburban lines take a lot longer to reach their potential due to land use changes and people who don't usually take transit discovering it as a good option.

The Orange Line is still seeing consistent growth 44 months since it opened.

The orange line is continuing to grow and it started out with worse ridership then the Gold Line.

It takes time for land use to change, and people to discover that this is a reliable and fast option.
