All of this is to say, GM was picking the bones of the dying streetcar companies. Think vultures, not eagles. And when we talk about the GM conspiracy charges... GM-affiliated National City Lines actually kept streetcars running longer than peer systems. 10/

The great thing about voting for public transit *service*, instead of just infrastructure, is the service can usually be turned on pretty quickly. Nashville voted for this in 2024 and are already enjoying the results.

Happy WeGo service change day! This is the 4th time we’ve been able to expand #transit service in Nashville thanks to dedicated funding from Choose How You Move. Biggest improvements are workforce route to airport and Opry Mills. www.wegotransit.com/community/se...

Realizing just how much head fur being held on by tension instead of glue is actually super convenient for washing (just pull the fur off and wash it) and for modifications/repairs

“Run more buses” is almost always the first answer to making transit better in the US and Canada. Many don’t want to hear it because of the appeal of trains (and that buses aren’t capex projects), but it’s true. Ability to just show up, and transfers not breaking trips, does wonders.

thing is, bus speeds between LA & toronto are comparable. not dismissing speed issues, but the biggest delta between TO & LA is frequency (+integration) of bus+rail. lowering bus wait times region-wide is still the best bang-for-your-buck transit investment out there with quick results. 1/
