I don’t think that a street name should be able to turn right at a regular 4-way intersection, let alone do it four times in 7mi.

I say this nicely, cause we all know how much of a struggle it is to build major transit projects, but like, does Boston know that they could try again? he hasn’t been president for almost 40 years.

A lot of people worked very, very hard to make NITA happen, and today is the day to give them their flowers: NITA is the most substantial transit governance reform in a generation. When faced with a fiscal cliff or another bailout, we chose a third path of #RevenuesAndReform to reimagine our system.

In other news, the CTA is 95% done building the Red Line extension. The remaining 5% is focused on final design and construction.

the whole point of license plates is making it easy to track the 2-ton pieces of heavy machinery that collectively kill 40,000 Americans every year! if anything, automated enforcement reduces the need for dangerous and problematic police enforcement of traffic laws!

can i get a hell yeah?

The Trib is not beating the north shore rag allegations as they choose to highlight this garbage at the top of their collection of letters. Ban a fan for yelling “you suck” at a hated visiting player? be fuckin for real. there wouldnt be anyone left to attend MLB games, aside from the Pope himself.

This thrift store opposing apartments next to rapid transit while urging customers to Go Green in their large parking lot is a great representation of braindead boomer environmentalism

we can still have this if Keith Creel has the courage.

the money should go towards her wedding.

i was there

I was proposing doing basically the same thing, but from the opposite end, with the 56 Milwaukee. If we do it with both, we get more frequency!

It shoulda been on a damn F40.

This is what the metra CNW heritage unit shoulda looked like. Even if it wasnt an f40, the paint scheme on metx 90 is just bad

$6.00 a gallon nationwide or bust.

having ridden the České Dráhy railjet, the only thing that could have made it better would have been an F40 in the lead. Oh, and air conditioning.

The millennial craft movement vastly improved American gastronomy and I refuse to let zoomers with no cultural memory of the bland garbage we ate and drank 20 years ago meme me into thinking it is cringe.

we’re gonna do a century of regress exposition, by opening the worlds most expensive elevated rail line.

The #BuildTheTunnel case in a single post. Make no small plans, Chicago.

They’re the same picture.

in this photo: a transfer station that was not designed for people to actually transfer at.

AHAHAHAHAHA. I showed up an hour plus earlier than I would have normally otherwise gotten to the airport. There wasn’t a single other person in the TSA line.

?????

The federal gas tax hasn’t gone up since 1993, cars use less gas than ever, and the roads are getting older every year. The roads don’t pay for themselves.

What are the best map apps that aren’t Google?

Rare Kam Buckner L. I’d sooner be forgotten a thousand times than have a highway named after me. Here’s a better idea. In 2020 we renamed (Stephan A.) Douglas Park to (Anna and Frederick) Douglass Park. Let’s change (Andrew) Jackson Park to (Jesse) Jackson Park.

Absolutely incredible time to live car free in the city.

If you ever get the opportunity, take a ride on Via Rail’s Canadian. From Toronto to Vancouver, enjoy the lakes and trees of the Canadian Shield, the wide open spaces of the prairie, and the towering peaks of the Canadian Rockies. What a trip!

We are so back.

OH MY GOD OH MY FUCK

What do you mean Federal Way is a suburb and not the name of a major boulevard?

a shame to let this @robgeorge.bsky.social post languish on another platform.

I just stumbled across this and thought some of you might like to see it. A letter from E.B. White to a man who'd written he'd lost all hope:

New *most ridiculous place I’ve been asked to tip* just dropped.

Discussing and speculating about future service plans is one of the main reasons I’m on Chicago transit BlueSky.

The dumbest people imaginable.

Hahaha, perfection.

Imagine doing a PhD in electricity, just so you knew how to blow up nuclear power plants and heavy water-producing facilities. “I learned from them very early that what one does with Nazis is kill them... I am not a pacifist.” A profile in absolute courage.

The Dem “operatives” (double agents?) in question need to be banished. Abolish ICE is the moderate position, with broad political support. Shocker here, but Americans don’t have an appetite for secret police doing random kidnappings on the streets!

Everybody remembers the day the pandemic really started. I was at Clemson’s regional airport. Some NFL people were in town to scout Clemson draft talent. I saw Mike Tomlin and the Steelers entourage get off a private jet. I sat in the lounge area and saw the news that Rudy Goebert tested positive.

Watching this stupid nazi fuck eat shit gives me life. FUCK ICE!!!

Wow, I didn’t know that. you’re telling me for the first time.

She’s got a way, and she got away Because parking lots are apparently preferred on Chicago’s lakefront

No I said don’t tread on *me*. You can get treaded on.

a few thoughts youtu.be/lERS4kJIQR8

Emphasizing that the victim was a citizen is about illustrating to the masses that ICE is unmoored by any legal framework. All people deserve life. Anyone accused of a crime deserves due process. Today ICE claimed the right to execute anyone and rewrite the details to their benefit. Fuck that.

NOW: Crowd continues to grow in Minneapolis at a vigil where a federal agent shot and killed Renee Good this morning. “SAY HER NAME!” “RENEE GOOD!”
