Happy Mother’s Day to all the women who mother us in any way, including those who ride, operate and manage transit & rail systems every day.

The Trump regime prefers to ignore the risk of sea level rise caused by #climatechange.
The ocean isn’t cooperating with them.
Ironically, the first #cities to drown may be those in states that voted this regime into office.

I bought a backpack to travel through Europe when I was a teenager, like a good American. I started to use a backpack for travel again so I could bike from my home to the train station, even if it makes me look like a teenager.

"Without our bikes, we would not have been able to buy much-needed food and water supplies and then quickly deliver them to cut-off villages within half-an-hour.”

I can't fall asleep as I'm still digesting the marta board meeting Friday.
marta has been blaming broken faregates for Atlanta's worst-in-the-nation rail ridership numbers (here's a TV interview feat. @atlurbanist.bsky.social)
On the bus side though, one of 25 Q1 2024 riders also quit transit.
www.fox5atlanta.com
Fewer Atlantans are taking the train, but MARTA says numbers are off
Naqiy Mcmullen@naqiy.bsky.social
Finally, for top 25 agencies for bus ridership, no agency had great growth, with Vegas, Baltimore, & Philly doing the best. Buses have had the best post-pandemic ridership recovery overall so less room to grow. Not sure why Boston had a deep decline & other agencies had modest losses too

All state transit boards should join the suit against USDOT.
Ryan Packer@typewriteralley.bsky.social
The Sound Transit board's executive committee is meeting on Tuesday morning to decide whether to join the lawsuit filed by King County and seven other jurisdictions (notably not including Seattle) against the USDOT over withholding federal transit funding.

i can't believe i missed national train day??? 😭😭😭 who was gonna tell me
Jerome Alexander Horne@jahorne.bsky.social
Today is National Train Day. We must save our intracity rail transit and intercity rail systems that are under attack. Transit is absolutely essential for supporting and stimulating local economies all across the country with value well beyond simply moving people from A to B.

The Marta bus network redesign, led by the venerable @humantransit.bsky.social, will allow more people across Atlanta to live without a car, with two assumptions:
1. Bus driver sickouts and bus cancellations are addressed, and
2. The voter-approved Streetcar East Extension overcomes the Mayor's veto

Man buys truck
Puts crappy lift kit on it
Fails to see huge rock due to terrible line of sight on lifted truck
Now this is an obvious illustration of how unsafe lifted trucks are to pedestrians. He can’t see a big rock and he can’t see most children. Dude drives a child annihilator.

This video is perfect, especially when you learn it happened as this man was driving his Super Tough Man Truck™ into the parking lot of a business for "Self Reliance and Civilian Tactical Enthusiasts" www.instagram.com/p/DJc9S_MsXND/

These planters were a local controversy. Residents lost their minds at the $3k/planter cost, but to me it was an absolute bargain.
Safer, beautiful active infrastructure was created instantly for that cheap price?! That's fiscal efficiency at its finest!
American Fietser@americanfietser.com
You don’t need millions to build safer streets today. Just reclaim one of the many car lanes and reallocate it for people utilizing active transportation.

It's easier to take transit to the Mall than the Kennedy Center, too.
Jamal Greene@jamalgreene.bsky.social
They should head to the Mall and do a free concert with a Do You Hear the People Sing singalong. Like, for real.

The question that all theories of the housing crisis must explain is, why is the crisis so much worse in some places than in other places?

It's truly a bizarre world we've created where it's unsafe to ride a bike places.
We're not asking for anything special -- just the same safety that existed 100 years ago.
Bike lanes are car infrastructure and motorists should pay the costs. Fight me.
How-Sen Chong@how-sen.com
I just ran an errand that’s an 8 minute bike ride away. But because there are so many cars and no safe bike lane, I drove. By myself. In a car that seats five. That drive took me 12 minutes longer, not including all the extra time and space I took driving around the block looking for parking.

Another #NationalTrainDay visual: I purchased this poster at the inaugural National Train Day in 2009 at Washington Union Station. The commissioned artwork by J. Craig Thorpe depicts an electrified Chicago-St Louis corridor. It hangs in my office.

If I can’t take a GO Train to Winnipeg, what even is the point?

Something to keep in mind when we talk about GO train service levels:

I’ve said this before but once you dig into the technical details of how housing and transit are done in the US the temptation to be like “oh it’s only cos we didn’t spend enough money” diminishes

Oh man I wonder how much money roads and highways lose.
Hansi Lo Wang (he/him)@hansilowang.bsky.social
NEW: The U.S. Postal Service posted a net loss of $3.3 billion in this fiscal year’s second quarter mainly due to “significant challenges out of our control,” including workers’ compensation costs, Luke Grossmann, USPS chief financial officer, said at the open session of the governing board meeting
