"The drivers are so crazy in [insert region here] 🤪"
No baby girl, people everywhere are just bad drivers, and car-centric infrastructure just rewards the worst of them.

Stop trying to be fair.

Go after US tech oligarchs.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

One thing to remember for why ORCA is taking longer to implement certain features: ORCA covers 9 agencies, 9 modes. Maintains free transfers. This alone makes it unique in the US. Folks are working hard on these issues but it's not as simple as it is in other regions.

Out: occupying an extra seat with your bag on a full bus or train.

In: leaving that seat available for passengers who may need it

There was no hsr in wicked. I feel lied to about the “bullet train”, but I also think it was very much a vibe and all rail representation in popular media is good rail representation.

More trains!

Excited to see the hsr in Wicked 👀

This is why I cancelled my subscription - on top of that thing the other day where they forgot what unanimous meant
The New York Times is giving a murder their “both-sides” treatment. What the hell is the matter with you?!? Someone kills a person with their car, and your reaction is to be like, “Some people think murder is bad, but others don’t like bike lanes, so 🤷‍♂️.”

1) this is super impressive
2) I almost had a mini heart attack thinking this was about @sound-transit.bsky.social‘s 1 Line
There are nearly 100 buses currently deployed on the Line 1 shuttle today to cover the gap between St. Clair West and King stations. This army of buses barely manages to match the capacity of typical Saturday service on Line 1. The power of grade separated rapid transit is unmatched.

I wonder if people stuck in i-5 traffic count the time by the number of link trains that pass them 🤔

Being on bluesky without fighting through a sea of bots and ads made me realize I don’t dislike social media, I disliked not being able to be social on social media
