articulated bus with steel wheels

according to bluesky, working for ice is a protected class against discrimination lol

I'm slightly tipsy so I'm just gonna say if any of you fucks out there with disposable income are staying in hotels or still ordering door dash at this particular moment in time you better be tipping with $50 bills

this shit was so cool

I still find it silly how folks who grew up on Windows get mad that they can't just instantly intuit how to use Linux, like what the fuck do you mean that to use a new thing you have to LEARN???

call that a T girl

"nobody will ride the trains here" says country whose only real passenger main line is so popular it requires airline style pricing to avoid almost every train selling out weeks in advance

I stood with Maduro before, I stand with Maduro now. you don't get on the US's shitlist by being a despot. despots work for imperialism. Venezuela's biggest problem has always been America and that doesn't change because they kidnapped the man they propagandised for years.

america hates public transport so much they attacked a country whose leader is a former bus driver

america is an evil empire and if you can't recognize that fact im sorry but you're just really stupid

meow :3

all of this is to say that i think every incremental meaningful improvement in passenger rail is vitally important

i think one of the issues with talking about high speed rail in america is that for the vast vast majority of americans rail travel does not exist for all intents and purposes. i think something like the northeast regional (not necessarily in terms of frequency though i do think

Nearly half a billion dollars and an elevated-to-subway transfer will still require getting wet in a rainstorm, smh

it's still there

Starting October 15, six CTA buses will operate with Automated Bus Lane Enforcement systems as part of the City of Chicago’s Smart Streets pilot.

railroader kamala harris: do not hump

we gotta do something about the european peasant mindset which is suddenly prevalent in seats in new amtrak cars i'm gonna be sitting there for maybe six hours or more, i need a fucking throne

i love bikes and protected bike infrastructure but buses >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> bikes

I'll be the bad guy and say it: getting rid of dedicated bus lanes on the CTA's busiest bus route is bad, even if it does end up with protected bike lanes

regular maga is lowkey terrifying but blue maga is just annoying as fuck. like damn i couldn't imagine having weird conspiracies and obsessions in favor of incredibly boring politicians who want to maintain the status quo

while i don't think that transit should cater exclusively to the commuting needs of residents in a city, it is pretty obvious to me when someone has never commuted on a regular basis on a given transit system just as it's obvious when someone hasn't used that system in the first place

it doesn't seem like a good sign that the monthly ridership reports published by the @chicagocta.bsky.social wrongly suggest that it's possible to transfer between the red and blue lines at clark/lake

talking about CTA problems is amazing bc it's like normal people being like "why don't we have a train down western" and people who get paid to give themselves migraines by staring at screens going "i can't believe you think operations money and capital money is the same you fucking idiot"

i am explicitly anti-imperialist and if you support the bombing of Iran you can fuck off from my account

Watching your address this morning was honestly a bit disappointing. You talked a lot about how we’re helping working class families but I didn’t sense that you really understood what a crushing blow the transit fiscal cliff would be for them. We need a special session to fix this now.

move the capital to chicago if downstate likes driving so much they can drive their ass all the way up here

i bet the same dumbasses who didnt bother to vote on the bill also pretend as if they give a fuck about climate change

so like what major transit agencies in this country have actually avoided their fiscal cliffs?

If Uber tells you to do something politically, pretty safe to say you should do the exact opposite

name the metra lines after what the names of things are in Chicago but nobody uses them Willis Line Cloud Gate Line 875 N. Michigan Avenue Line

I plan on doing some further experimentation with this in the future to determine if the free transfer can be in the middle of a trip rather than the first or last transfer. I'm also curious if the free transfer somehow resets your transfers because it is labeled as "use" but with no charge.

Yesterday I did some experimentation to determine what the CTA means by "free fare card transfer". It turns out that a free fare card transfer does NOT count against your two free transfers regardless of whether your first or last transfer. Also red green 35th yesterday cause of construction.

i accidentally stumbled across cta bus stop 1 yesterday

i gotta say it's pretty sad that bus lanes outside of downtown are so rare in chicago that the bus lanes on chicago avenue make it easily recognizable

i should probably try to be more active on here. i really hope they make private accounts a thing at some point

just got whatever the opposite of a ghost bus is
