We have no idea.

I predict this will be an issue in San Diego over the next few years. A politician selling a bus-based system as a way to quickly implement usable transit but not also talking about massive expansion of bus priority along major corridors is lying to sabotage future transit efforts. (1/2)

another factor: these network redesigns cut a lot of low-use routes that run on low-traffic streets, that tend to have favourable reliability stats. throwing more buses on high ridership corridors is good but this is also where traffic congestion is high. bus lanes/transit priority is critical here

But he also wondered if this was a specific problem to Better Bus, so he looked at other cities that reconfigured their bus network over the past decade. Out of 14, he found, only two now have faster buses. Both of those cities added new bus-only lanes or traffic signals that allow buses to jump ahead of traffic at the same time. “Every time these agencies did a bus redesign and didn’t also add bus lanes or signal priority, the bus speeds fell,” Dew said.

NCTD will next year face the same fiscal cliff Metrolink is facing now. Sunday Coaster and Sprinter service could be eliminated. We need regional governance, regional operations funding, and electrification to overcome the fiscal challenges. www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2026/07/20/r...

Reduce train service, cut bus routes. North County Transit District looks for ways to plug funding gap.

Expected fare hikes unlikely to affect deficits forecast over the next few years, officials say.

Gonna piss people off with this take but: I don't see the strategy for Dems who bring this up. Trump is not (whatever he says) running for re-election. You are running against Vance or Rubio in 2028. Voters think "old president" and say "oh like the zombie you pretended could serve until age 87?"

Kamlager-Dove: We cannot have a president asleep on the job. Is he sleeping in classified briefings or on calls with foreign leaders? How can we trust a president who is literally asleep at the wheel?

Has anyone in the cultural partnership ever visited a park in another city? Balboa has a few nice looking buildings, but it's an absolute joke & embarrassment how much of has already been paved over for cars.

Park land sacrificed to cars in yellow. Includes 2 freeways, 7000+ parking spots and several major roads.Central Park, mostly green spaceTiergarten, a few big roads but most of the surface area is green space Boston Common, one road down the middle but the rest is green space

The San Diego Velodrome has begun hosting bike races that exclude transgender women. This is despite a city policy prohibiting anti-trans discrimination at the racetrack. One trans racer told me the change made her feel “disposable.” Been working on this for a while, give it a read and share!

San Diego Velodrome begins hosting bike races that exclude trans women

The racetrack in Balboa Park recently began hosting events sanctioned by USA Cycling, which bans trans women from participating in women's races. More such races are planned, despite a city policy prohibiting anti-trans discrimination at the velodrome.

All this antirail stuff suddenly getting traction based around tunneling under rich people at the behest of democratic politicians along with an organized effort to demonize income taxes really feels a little too coordinated

Gaby Del Valle is a great journalist with righteous politics, and the way this website is treating her for her completely fair reporting on Minneapolis is the reason why it's constantly hemorrhaging users, will never be relevant, and is seen as a joke across progressive media and activist circles.
