Technically it's more like a horizontal paternoster.

Sí, se puede

Are we trying rear boarding on AC Transit again? The card readers are uncovered and active on the 6 and 57 buses I was on today.

Classic 60 Minutes from 1973. Mike Wallace is taking the James Whitcomb Riley from Indianapolis to Chicago.

You would have to be a bloody noob if you're an engineering executive and didn't anticipate that (yet again) engineers told to spend freely have a) accomplished that goal, b) baked excessive spending into processes and habits, and c) now resist cost controls.

Hanging out in the harbor

SMART weekly ridership is up TWENTY PERCENT since the MASCOTS change on April 12, aligning bus schedules and increasing service by 19%. And it's only been 5 weeks.

Thinking about this again: the track between Petaluma and Novato San Marin traverses a lot of soft marshland that sinks at different rates. 10 years after construction, you can already feel the effects of uneven settling when crossing bridges. Higher speed means much higher maintenance cost.

It's all Enron, Prop 187, Prop 13, Reagan, and Southern Pacific.

The Buckland Ferry crosses the Shiawassee at Owosso. It is written.

Here is Tom Steyer personally supporting high school trans athlete AB Hernandez. I don't think I've ever seen a candidate as brave as Tom Steyer in his explicit support for trans folks. It says a lot that it took a self funded billionaire not dependent on donors to do it.

12/x A rep for Mendocino Transit Authority says: “Mendocino Country Transportation isn’t a convenience, it’s a lifeline. The community impacts we forecast are huge.”

Nothing good can come of me having 100 "stop parking in bike lanes" stickers.

It's correct if you put -ai

I still don't understand why BART doesn't start until 8 AM on Sunday schedule.

We have found the überdad joke.

What this opinion piece fails to mention is that CAHSR construction is moving at exactly the pace that the state government has chosen via funding and policy.

Also let’s just come out and say it: “we are getting rid of all the jobs that remind us of mom” Geez that wasn’t so hard was it.

Why are there 5 overlapping and slightly competing bus routes on the Dumbarton corridor, roughly Union City/Fremont to Palo Alto/Stanford?

🧵 Thread: California is about to have a massive fight over taxes, housing, and democracy itself. Here's what's at stake and why the legislature needs to cut a deal by mid-June.

Important manual QA testing.

Testing out a new bike commute. Might be a little long for every day use.

Something that grinds my gears: It's single-family _house_, not single-family home. Calling everything a home is Realtor™ marketing speak and blurs boundaries between the meaning of words. It's purpose is to make anything that isn't a detached domicile feel and sound substandard.

Some additional effort was needed to get BART working, but behold the density of lines on this diagram.

Wait til he finds out how much California _actually_ spent on high-speed rail.

Ordered my cargo e-bike at Sports Basement today using the rebate from Ava. Should be here in 6-8 weeks. The next rebate lottery is in a few days, so sign up if you live in Alameda County.

I've been plugging away at my GTFS aggregator/analysis code, doing a big refactor to store data efficiently. Finally got to a point where I could get the stringline renderer working again and fixed up (as a little treat), which now has the ability to combine multiple routes.

My counter offer is this: remove 53rd St and daylight Temescal Creek.

What about declining mirth rates? Why does no one care about the utter lack of joy, of clownery?

Are we still talking about the environmental effects of lithium mining as if it's a thing and not petroleum industry astroturfing from 2016?

Need to plan a side quest to Eureka now.

Nina Gold has a goddess-like talent for casting, but hear me out:

Kids are definitely one demographic I can think of that would explore the train operator's seat and control panel. Yup.

On this day, May 9, 1800, the man who would force Centrists to stop enabling the evil that is slavery was born. Remember, kids: Centrism on civil rights issues is evil. Happy birthday, John Brown.

There are six transit stops in California that are associated with a Denny's restaurant and zero associated with a Cheesecake Factory. I've been led to expect that CF represent urbanism, but bus stops at Denny's is definitely transit-oriented ruralism.

Reflected sunlight forever problems for now.

I started commuting by bike when gas was $0.89/gallon. Definitely the wrong candidate.

Hope this yields quality candidates. Also, it's in a bike lane.

Today I told my coffee that it's a world class expert in all domains.

oWow is using factory-built housing components to bring almost 300 new affordable apartments to Oakland more quickly and more affordably than traditional construction would allow for. This is exactly the type of housing innovation I want to see more of! www.sfchronicle.com/realestate/a...

I didn't need to read about people harassing a dying whale today.

Listen up gays! It's the first Monday in May and we got somethin’ to say. This “gender stuff” isn’t just about trans people. It’s attacks on families, medical providers, attacks on you – and we need to fight together now more than ever.

Janet Reno furious as Mulder keeps trying to figure out if David Koresh has actual messianic powers instead of gassing the compound.

Anyone know about the gas pipeline currently being constructed in the ROW of 101 between Santa Rosa and Willits? Not finding any permits or regulatory approvals in the usual places. Caltrans just says "utility work".

In a coincidence, I had a few hours to kill in Pinole with my bike this week, so did a little review of the existing bike infrastructure. The vehicle traffic on San Pablo Ave felt like cut-through traffic avoiding the congested freeway. Can't explain why. Road diet would be good here.
