I dont know who to ask, so Ill tag @airlineflyer.net Usually when flying into EWR from the south, we do a giant loop around the northern part of the state (image 1). Last night, we came straight in, saving 20 minutes (image 2). Why isn't option 2 more common?

🚨 Stop the e-bike bill in New Jersey! 🚨 The NJ General Assembly is voting TOMORROW on an e-bike bill that creates confusion, limits mobility options, and threatens our climate progress. Contact your assembly member: https://bit.ly/4srWAHT Write your legislators: https://bit.ly/45vbDXi

What goes on over there

The NJ Bike Walk Coalition has issued another urgent action alert. Another version of the NJ state legislature's terrible bill to require liability insurance and registration for all e-bikes, including Class I e-bikes, is up for a final committee vote *tomorrow* actionnetwork.org/letters/save...

No details yet, so hoping for best news. It looks like everything but the 59 stayed in one piece. Imagine the alternative...

The disastrous NJ e-bike bill req. licensing, registration & insurance for class 1/2 e-bikes bill is up for a full Senate vote on Monday. Despite 3100+ letters in opposition, it will pass with some crazy proposed amendments that will make the bill even worse. actionnetwork.org/letters/save...

Say hello to our new modern fare gates! These gates are designed to improve accessibility, help deter fare evasion, and speed up entering/exiting a station. We're testing several types of gates over the next few months with the goal of eventually adding them at 150 stations across all 5 boroughs.

Garden State pols want to require all e-bike riders have licenses, registration and insurance — citing several instances of drivers killing two-wheelers to justify making it harder for New Jerseyans to access the benefits of even the lowest-speed e-bikes. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/12/19/n...

You know how right wing trolls keep saying urban crime is really high but the real numbers are hidden? It turns out that's what Florida is actually doing. "Justifiable homicides help reduce crime rates because they aren’t included in violent crime statistics." www.wsj.com/us-news/jack...

An important factor at play in the free-fares vs. reduced-fares-for-low-income-people debate: A means-tested program will inevitably result in a large share of eligible people not using it. The documentation required for NYC fair fares is a hurdle for some people, notably undocumented people.

lmao at checking train tickets at Penn Station before the stairs. Did you see this @thelirrtoday.com @2avesag.as ? www.reddit.com/r/NJTransit/...

Presumably, 60 minutes will run a special this Sunday on Maduro building WMDs

New blog by me: Cycle advocates in New Jersey are urging residents to contact their state legislators to save access to low-speed electric bikes. A proposed law would require all e-bike users to hold a license, registration, and insurance. walkableprinceton.com/2025/12/16/n...

Auckland Council and Auckland Transport from 2026 are looking returning streets back to the people. That is allowing streets to serve their purpose of being extensions of living and social interaction spaces. This is excellent to see. Note, this applies to streets not roads. Big difference!

Do it, cowards. actionnetwork.org/letters/save...

Please take a second to sign this. This will absolutely kill citibikes in NJ.

This is hopefully going to be an Princeton Community Democratic Organization action alert this week, but we need to get on it. Democrats in the NJ state legislature are trying to force through the most draconian e-bike restrictions in the country in the lame duck period. Call them. Email them.

Earlier this year, the director of CalTrans presented this chart to members of the state Senate’s Transportation Committee, showing a dramatic rise in deaths on California's roads. No lawmakers asked about the chart. Or what CalTrans was doing about it. 1/9

California has some of the weakest DUI laws in the nation. Here, DUI-related deaths have been rising more than twice as fast as the rest of the country. But this fall, a state bill to strengthen DUI penalties was gutted at the last minute. calmatters.org/investigatio... 8/9

Looks like NJ Transit is indirectly acknowledging that high fares are resulting in lower ridership. Flexpass (discounted 20-packs) return in February. @princetonyimby.bsky.social

I think my strategy to wait to buy World Cup tickets the morning of the match will pay off www.bbc.com/news/article...

Why does mattyg show up on my timeline on here? I thought we all agreed to leave the crap behind

Our new study provides rare causal evidence about NYC’s speed camera program. We find large reductions in collisions (30%) and injuries (16%) near intersections with cameras. www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1... @astagoff.bsky.social ky.social @brendenbeck.bsky.social nbeck.bsky.social 🧪

Sorry guys I tried but the schedule and station location didn't make sense

The train stations around Dallas make no sense. There's huge gaps between stations and the environment isn't exactly walk friendly. So if the train doesn't exactly match your origin and destination it's useless

Yes we're delayed by 90 minutes but at least we will be entertained

PATH's proposed 'significant' service increase is actually just a restoration and reshuffling of the service levels they were operating pre-pandemic. Even playing out all of the proposed service boosts through 2027, PATH will still be operating 2.6% less service hours than they were in 2019.

"waymo will mean the end of flights under 3 hours" Yeah man that's why these things are a billion dollar business

Lots of chatter this weekend about Waymos expanded service area but I haven't seen one person mention price. Do people really think a 7 hour private car will be affordable?
