Brutal morning commute with MBTA red line: delay of 25 mins due to medical emergency at Park St and then a disabled train at Broadway when my train is at Andrew 🙄

Maybe it makes this rainy cold day better because it’s just such a rare thing

Here's how to make green #transit even greener. Put the tram tracks on a carpet of grass or sedum. 2 kms of track creates 1.5 football fields' worth of green space, reducing air pollution and urban heat island effect.

I spoke with outgoing SFMTA head Jeffrey Tumlin about robotaxis' impact on San Francisco – and the threat they pose to multimodal cities worldwide.

Tumlin: “I am very worried that so much of the joy of the remaining walkable cities in the world could be at risk from self-driving cars.”

The T should use some space of large stations (for example the concourse at DTX) to hold T(ea) ☕️dance once a month or so and sell tickets and booze to raise more money 💰

Or is Tea dance only a gay thing?

Ashmont branch came back online today after a month of work. And the train frequency was such a nice surprise. Probably just a one time thing LOL. But regardless...

Some days I think about how I recently saw a guy in crisis, tweaking out in the bus. He was screaming really loudly. Most people avoided him. A big dude told him to shut TF up. The guy started crying. The big dude asked, do you need a hug? And gave him some money and told him where to go get food.

Buses connect people. Sometimes the inconvenience and grit looks like a lot, but as a forever rider of buses everywhere (I like them more than trains), I have no shortage of amazing human stories I’ve witnessed in buses the world over.
