The recent hysteria over bike and ebike regulation is infuriating, dumb, and counter-productive.

It’s great to see a standing room only on a 9-Montgomery bus after 8:30. We advocated for better bus service on the 9 last year but the best we could get was service extended later into the evening. Nonetheless, the demand is there and that’s great to see. Hope we can get better service.

In honor of NYC's new shame stickers for those that don't move for street cleaning, I offer my own design for bike lane blockers, free of charge:

NJ Transit bus(ted) stop for the no.16 on Claremont and Garfield Avenues:

Matthew Schafer@matthewschafer.bsky.social · yesterday

Just going to start tweeting about what nj Transit train stops could look like

Another morning, another broken HBLR train and no app updates. Countdown clocks at LSP are also still whited out and broken. @customeradvocate.bsky.social

Decent bike lane in Union City on Kerrigan Ave.

Your periodic reminder that my 1991 SF Mission apt was $980/mo in today's dollars - an unaffordable sum for me then. This is what decades of NIMBY SF politics stole from you and our beloved city's creative spark

This was still in my head so I had to draw it out to see what it looked like as one system, but here is the Other South Jersey bus network the SJTA runs It actually doesn't have the worst frequencies, I think only the Vineland-Atlantic City route had just one round trip

Philadelphia Inquirer@inquirer.com · last wk.

SJ Connects is slated to launch a free shuttle bus in Burlington County in September. It will concentrate on places close to Philadelphia and Camden such as Moorestown but connect to a larger system.

Oh this is nice they have the Hoboken-WTC service on the weekends. They rotate every 10 min with the Newark trains. That means service every 10 for Exchange Pl to the city. Thanks to the hard work of the @hudcostreets.org activists.

Fatal crash on RT-202 in Somerset County. “Witnesses told investigators Surapanani drover "erratically" and in the wrong directions before hitting the driver's side of an Acura SUV. The driver of the Acura, a female from Bridgewater, died at the scene.” nj1015.com/route-202-ra...

Bridgewater woman killed in Route 202 crash; other driver fled, officials say

A early morning crash on Route 202 in Raritan Borough left a Bridgewater woman dead after a Genesis SUV turned onto the highway and hit her Acura driver's side. The other driver fled but was caught.

Gov @mikiesherrill.bsky.social @njsenatedemocrats.bsky.social @njassemblydems.bsky.social what are you guys doing to keep us safe from dangerous drivers? What are you doing about drivers who evade PA and Turnpike tolls? Really doesn’t seem fair that people pay their fair share & others don’t have to

Streetsblog NYC@nyc.streetsblog.org · 4d ago

Streetsblog analyzed a month of Port Authority lawsuits against toll evaders and found multiple drivers who endanger city residents.

August is Pride month in Jersey City 🏳️‍🌈 and we're kicking it off by reliving one of our favorite days of the year: the annual Pride crosswalk repainting in front of City Hall! Happy Pride, Jersey City!

RIP Louisa Gag, a transit planner who dedicated her career to making Boston’s streets safer for cyclists & pedestrians. She was killed while biking to work on July 9, 2026. Street safety improvements shouldn’t be delayed, watered down, or treated as a political inconvenience. Safe streets now!!

Life doesn’t only happen during rush hour. Earlier this week, I joined @HudCoStreets.org to canvass for A Better Light Rail because reliable transit matters at every hour of the day.

Crazy thing is, NJT previously did serve it. The 43 (Newark-Exchange Place via Harrison/JSQ) and 43/87 (Newark-Gates Avenue via Harrison/JSQ) were casualties of the 2012 Christie Cuts. Ridership per trip was poor, but that's to be expected on service timed solely for warehouse/factory shift changes.

I live 2 blocks from the 85. My mother in law lives on the 85. I take my kid to the mall where the 85 goes. I never take the 85 bc it's so infrequent and it's always overcrowded because it's so infrequent.

Thank you for checking out! If I spot next week during rush hour how crowded it gets I’ll snap a pic. I shifted over to the EZ Ride shuttle to Secaucus Junction to take the train into Hoboken because I can’t guarantee being able to get onto a 85 during rush hour.

PM rush yesterday and AM rush today the Hudson Bergen Light Rail is down because the trains have growing reliability and maintenance issues. This isn’t sustainable. @customeradvocate.bsky.social

Ex post facto sales tax, yet another way @SenPresScutari is about to k*ll people, by making e-bikes harder to own and operate than the exponentially more dangerous cars they’ve been replacing. Call him now and tell him to support a law in line with other states: (732) 827-7480

Colleen Wilson@colleenonthescene.bsky.social · last wk.

“I’ll be damned if I’m paying the State of New Jersey again, I paid it six years ago.” NJ e-bike riders livid over double sales taxing from MVC, which is now offering refunds. More on that, other issues coming up at MVC and more unanswered questions.

Crashes are the least ignored mechanism by which cars kill

Senator, you should also block the House Republican transportation bill because it cuts transit & Amtrak while increasing highway spending - tangible harms to NYC & American cities generally

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.gov · last wk.

I will block Donald Trump’s push to rename Penn Station for himself. Penn Station needs to be rebuilt, not rebranded. It is a public building, paid for by the taxpayers, and it belongs to the 600,000 people who walk through it every single day. www.fox5ny.com/news/schumer...

Hey Guv what have you done to secure dedicated funding for public transit in Pennsylvania?

Governor Josh Shapiro@governor.pa.gov · last wk.

We’ve improved over 20,500 miles of roadway and repaired nearly 2,000 bridges since the day I took office. On top of that, our latest budget includes $775 million over the next two years to keep improving our state roads and making them safer for drivers.

Focus less on symbolic crap. Focus more on preventing transit from getting gutted.

Why isn't NYPD cracking down on this sort of cover-the-plate-to-avoid-bus-camera-tickets @mayor.nyc.gov ?

The Region of Waterloo has been putting in multi-use paths on low-pedestrian-use suburban arterials during rebuilds and as infill, and I think it’s been very pragmatic and effective for making these places more accessible by bike

Everyone loves to talk about what their city governments are doing wrong. What’s something your city is getting right? (And tell us what city it is!)

30 min headways on weekends is not a serious transit system. We need frequent 10 min headways. Sign the @hudcostreets.org petition for better light rail service! hudcostreets.org/hblr/action

Don't like it? Build more housing to attract more families. People want it both ways: don't build housing or else my taxes will rise bcs kids, but don't cut my shrinking schools district's funding!

A pathetic embarrassment they should make every single person involved feel a deep sense of shame. Sign the petition. hudcostreets.org/hblr
