If LA Metro's old system was belt-and-suspenders, this is the graph of Metro's pants falling down. www.enforcethefares.org

LA installed faregates in the 2010s even while maintaining POP, even though the fare evasion rate was low. Very belts-and-suspenders. There's a case study here: ssti.us/wp-content/u... PDF-pp. 48-55.

The end of the parking lot at Belmont Caltrain is lowkey a great photography spot

Dubai's RTA and Glydways visit to Tri Delta Transit today is an unfortunate reminder of the pod project that CCTA and Tri-Delta are pursuing. This is going to require 2 transfers just to get on regular BART from Brentwood.

Giving Petaluma our old Van Hools might be the funniest thing AC Transit has ever done (this bus was sweltering in the 80° heat and an AC system that works with air flow forced into the intake as the bus moves... in stop and go traffic 😭)

He’s able to do so much so quickly because NYC has a large and well-funded bureaucracy. A lot of what he is doing, like a fast rollout of busways and bike lanes, are things people in the bureaucracy have wanted to do for years but kept being held back by the indecision of their political principals.

No wonder the entrenched bureaucracy hates him to much. He's showing America that things REALLY can get better when you work on behalf of everyone, not for the Epstein class.

Some guy at Petaluma Transit Mall asked where the bus picks up (he was talking about the SMART train a block over... but didn't know it was a train so he was floundering at the bus station)

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

Huntington Beach claimed it was immune from state housing laws because it’s a charter city. It lost. Now it's lost on its claim that the State can be sued simply for enforcing state housing law. No more excuses. It’s time for the City to adopt and implement a lawful housing element.

This is such a good visualization of how tall pick up trucks and SUVs will kill you. The grill crunches your chest, snaps your neck, and then you end up under the truck. (next vid is sedans)

I love my hometown Union City, and it's sad to see the slow decline with families getting priced out and tech bros swooping up the limited housing stock. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

This Bay Area suburb is shrinking faster than any other California city. Here’s why

It’s got a central location, but a “perfect storm” of demographic factors has led this Bay Area city to one of the state’s biggest population declines.

"2.5 billion gallons" sounds like a lot but is about 2 tenths of 1% of the amount of water (approx 5 million acre-feet per year) used to grow almonds just in California. www.c-win.org/cwin-water-b...

Amazon said its global data-center operations withdrew about 2.5 billion gallons of water in 2025, as data center companies around the world face growing scrutiny over the environmental impact of artificial intelligence.

Too busy this month to make anything complex but still wanted to have the option to do something for others to celebrate pride 🏳️‍🌈 so if anyone's interested in a quick doodle in this style for 8 euro simply send me a dm on discord with your ref and flags :3

Skaters are aware of this, but landscape architecture and urban planning have in general been engaged in a cold war with skaters for decades. Almost every new project that is not a skatepark is skate Proofed.

The 51st@51st.news · 2mo ago

NEW: Since the 1980s, skaters from across the East Coast have appreciated D.C.'s plazas, fountains, and granite edges. President Trump's efforts to “beautify” the District are accelerating efforts to limit skating in these iconic spaces, William "Phresh Ingredient" Clarke IV reports.

Hello! 👋 I'm hoping to raise money for two Bay Area cat rescues. If you post a screenshot of you donating at least $20, I will answer a style-related question for you. But first, let me tell you about the rescues, why they're worthy of your support, and hopefully get you to adopt a cat. 🧵
