This is transit content.

Excited to share with you all a project i’ve been working on for the better part of the last 2.5 years! You’ll find these new art posters at bus stop shelters across the city! Huge thank you to local artist Jared Grillo, who turned my awful sketches into works of art to beautify bus stops!

it's so good. absolute banger.

can perfect pitched people listen to microtonal music and get used to it over time? i think i've sufficiently adapted my ears but i wonder how easy it is for them

go.nasa.gov/artemisnames my past self space nerd could not resist

if i had a nickel for every time a transit agency had employee-exclusive merch that i desperately wanted id have around 7 nickels which isn't a lot but does seem to be a trend. time to get jobs at every agency

cool opportunity for yinz www.pittsburghforpublictransit.org/apply-today-...

There are over 150 bus stops on the Near Eastside, and many of them need some love. If you’re interested in being a part of the solution, I’d love to have some extra hands on the Near Eastside Stop Taskforce (NEST). Send me a DM with your number or drop a comment if you’re interested.

if i was pitching a fast casual dining concept with indian flavors called "Dosa A-Go-Go" and peter thiel specifically came up to me going i'm into Dosa-A-Go-Go, Dosa-A-Go-Go could be huge, im in on Dosa-A-Go-Go i'd kinda wonder if there was a sinister angle to Dosa-A-Go-Go i hadn't considered before

my deepest darkest secret as a car-free urbanist is that i really like driving in car video games. maybe at heart i am a car person and i just have anxiety

new problem unlocked: i got my helmet strap stuck in my earring and it cost me 10 minutes and my brushed hair to get it off

mass transit stays winning yes i know theres nuance i was just happy to have another talking point 😎

unlike when starting to read Abundance, I cracked open @99pi.org's The 99% Invisible City and immediately have the biggest grin on my face because this is exactly what I mean when I say we miss so much when we drive. all these tiny details that make a city home, often overlooked but so vital

I HATE MICROSOFT I HATE MICROSOFT I HATE MICROSOFT

In our tiny little world of consumer product safety the small parts cylinder is an iconic device. Big media moment for the small parts cylinder and if you ask us, it's about time.

i keep using ctrl+w to try and delete words in text editing applications and end up closing the tab or document im working on. anyone know if there are vim bindings for excel.

just got yelled at (across 4 lanes of stroad) by a guy in a lifted pickup truck that i should get on the sidewalk while riding my ebike. my guy, first of all im following the law. second, this thing goes like 20 mph im not riding on the sidewalk anyways why are there pumpkin spice cheerios at aldi

the transit app asks questions about the smell of the bus in pittsburgh but not here, when i need it, because why are people vaping on the bus 😭

can i fight my apartment complex over water waste? every morning i go to get my bike, theyre watering the lawn while a literal river of water runs down the sidewalk. when i come back after work, theyre going again. the lawn is limp and overwatered. nobody is winning here. i hate this.

In my latest Substack, I reframe the Harris Campaign's slogan, ‘We are not going back,’ within the context of 2025 and its implications for transportation, road safety, and public progress in the wake of federal transit cuts. jacobbikes.substack.com/p/we-are-goi... #pennsylvania #rhodeisland #nyc

woah a good news for once

Every time we try to do an art it makes us appreciate artists more.

this feels like a threat

I went to a small engine repair place to get my broken lawnmower fixed, and he did it for just $100! sweet deal. when I picked the lawnmower up (it's working great!) the guy said "now you're $100 poorer, plus you have chores to do". why did he do this

ok see the thing is i am very picky and I have my personal laptop configured in a way that renders it unusable to any intruders. but my work laptop runs windows and I want to scream cause I just want my taskbar on the side is that too much to ask guys

they made this into an highway vs transit funding infographic

the unfortunate thing is that there aren't even any bike lanes here so i can't even participate

just saw a dad and 3 kids on a cargo e-bike, we nodded at each other in knowledge that we're better than every driver on this road (joking or am i). this is so cool 🫡

i just realized im having fun on my commute. can you imagine a car driver having fun on their commute. meanwhile the wind is in my face and im parking right next to the door while everyone trudges in from the parking lot >:]

walked past a lifted pickup while putting my bike away and the hood was level with the top of my head. terrifying to think of getting hit by it while riding. but no im sure this guy that lives in a suburban apartment complex definitely needs an overpowered road tank to haul stuff

Shame on the Post-Gazette for exploiting the tragedy in Kerr County to score political points. It’s time for Pittsburgh Water to keep its promise to The Run and ensure that flooding in our neighborhood is fixed once and for all. content.govdelivery.com/accounts/PAP...

TxDOT displaced 160 homes, 433 apartments, 486 public housing units, 5 churches, and 344 businesses in Downtown Houston, costing up to $310M in annual tax revenue, for a $1.1 BILLION-per-mile highway expansion. But somehow, the U.S. “can’t afford” trains?

e-bike obtained. this shit is life-changing!!! car-free kc lives on 😎

whenever you have to do something you enjoy for (work/commute/survival) the joy of doing it disappears

if you went to public school in the us i think companies should exempt you from active shooter training. ive known run hide fight for like 12 years

shall we start a tally of how many times i almost get hit by a car while biking even on non-busy, very wide roads? ...or maybe not, because this will provide fodder for the haters (my parents (love you guys)) that want me to get a car (sorry i never take the easy route but im so determined)

i got two pages into Abundance before i realized that the "utopian" future being described still relied on electric cars in which i had to stop reading and come here to post about my annoyance

i miss pittsburgh so much but im coping by realizing i won't have to deal with mounds of lanternfly corpses outside my building

You’re absolutely right Mr Zeldin
