Overheard people who make six figures complaining that BART, which needs the money, is raising their fares, from $4.88 to $5.15 on average. 🤨

I'm looking at you, @bart.gov: great way to make more revenue and reach an additional market segment.

I am absolutely a fan of upgraded train cars on regional trains, like the Keihan railway between Osaka and Kyoto. Every city should have these. 🚇

It was great to visit Tokyo for JSConf.jp and TC39 last week! Now I'm down in Kyoto being mesmerized by the fall colors. 🍁

Have you tried incognito mode, or using a different Google account?

I started using Transit App more frequently after Google Maps removed the advanced timetable route searching feature. Apparently I'm in a small minority for wanting to see more than the top 4 results.

I still can't reproduce this. But, it's really important to give feedback, which does feed into product decisions. Google loves to run A/B tests, and it's important to give signals that your CUJ is being broken.

I use Transit in the Bay Area and it works well, though when I'm traveling it doesn't always have the city covered. I also use company-specific apps like the BART App for better real time data.

Did I just see an ad with the Oakland Ballers on the World Series? @oaklandballers.bsky.social ⚾

(finally worked with rustc --version)

Really exciting to see this finally coming together! It's been a long journey for myself and many others, and I'm very happy with where we've landed.

I've heard people describe the Oakland Ballers as a "low-level minor league team". Wrong: they are a team of high-caliber players disenfranchised from MLB, like their fans. Just look at Bufford, Almanza, Chewy, etc, all very talented, and manager Aaron Miles, a World Series alum. #LetsGoOakland ⚾

💚 💛 Ballers fam, @MayorBarbaraLee just announced that we're going to keep the party going! 🎉 See you there! 🍾

Hey @susanslusser.bsky.social: this is a big milestone for Oakland baseball! Please cover it in the Chronicle sports pages.

OAKLAND WE DID IT!!!! 🏆

I love Cam Bufford. He casually smashes the ball 400 ft, glances over, and jogs the bases like it's a piece of cake. Two nights in a row!

It felt like a very heavy object hit my bed and then sent vibrations rolling down a hill. I'm a bit freaked out if it was only a 4.3! (Oakland, about 2mi from epicenter)

US air carriers usually send automated refunds without asking, in compliance with the law (and since they have all your data). Although I hear they might be deregulating the airlines again so we'll see if this sticks.

What does it say when Idaho Falls intentionally WALKS Christian Almanza, not once but TWICE in the same game for the Pioneer League championship? He's the silver slugger of Oakland, baby! #LetsGoOakland ⚾ @oaklandballers.bsky.social

It's the final game of the People's World Series! Come on Bay Area, let's turn up for another sell-out!

Great game! Nice work Gabe Tanner for staying focused and allowing only 2 runs on almost 100 pitches, and Cam Bufford for the textbook 3-run homer to finish off the 8th! Here's a clip of Sully's last pitch of the game! #LetsGoOakland 🟩🟨⚾

Maybe you're referring to Rick Scott's Senate resolution adopted unanimously on September 18? As far as I can tell, there wasn't a roll-call vote (and there aren't 58 Democrats in the Senate). Here is the record of the Senate proceeding:

I read the resolution and it doesn't say anything about a "national day to honor Charlie Kirk"; can you clarify?

Here is where I found the text of the resolution:
www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

I'll be there! We'll remind everyone that Oakland has the best fans in baseball.

In case you're not familiar with the area, you can see what I mean in this schematic. BART and Caltrain have a direct connection at Millbrae, but the T Third and N Judah also connect the two services in downtown, in addition to several bus lines.

In this screenshot, at least the app shows me *some* connection in downtown SF (it is the 15). But, I want the option to force it to use a specific route. I can turn of buses, but this still doesn't let me choose between the N and the T.

@transit.app Please add more features to customize your route. Example: to go from Oakland to Palo Alto, I want to build a custom itinerary that uses the N, T, 15, 30, 55, Waymo, Baywheels, or other connection to transfer between BART and Caltrain in downtown SF instead of transferring at Millbrae.

Also, the southbound 🟨/🟧 arrive at MacArthur as the northbound 🟨/🟧 depart, breaking the connection between Richmond and Antioch (perhaps Berkeley students who live in Walnut Creek). I frequently see people sprinting through the concourse to try and make the connection, usually to be disappointed.
