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/

"Rust belt America's strongest bus defender" Barely surviving med school (M1) St. Louis | Cleveland They/He | 24 Go check out Furrest City! https://linktr.ee/spd_bird
UHHH I impulsively created a fantasy bus network for Bryan/College Station TX (imagining if the agency suddenly had its operational budget quadruple) www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/e...
Seeing my friend's research show up on my bluesky feed was NOT on my bingo card bsky.app/profile/sail...
GOOD NEWS! Phase I clinical trial results out of WashU Medicine show a first-of-its-kind personalized DNA vaccine designed to treat MGMT-unmethylated glioblastoma is safe AND elicits robust and broad immune responses that appears to INCREASE recurrence-free survival in patients after surgery.

Also I have a slight tummy now??? (Also redid the tail placement to be more anatomically accurate)
What do you think I am some type of lucky strike loser man heck no man I’m a Marlboro man I’m a Virginia slim Jim man! A lucky? Strike? Loser!
1st stop: a random Columbus bus stop on West Broad. This corridor is a major east west corridor that is being targeted for bus priority treatments by COTA iirc
Tried tightening the waist of my suit (to account for the fur stretching over time) but now it just looks like I have a massive ass 😭🤣
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...
Something a friend made that I think @humantransit.bsky.social might enjoy playing around with: a universal transit frequency map based on GTFS data with the ability to see frequency at specific times of day and across different years. transiteverywhere.com
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/

RTA wants to increase sales tax by .5% Such a small increase would deliver such great results for public transportation users in Cuyahoga County. Fingers crossed we can get this increase passed.
