What To Do When You See A #TransitDog On The Bus

Good: when you see a dog on the bus, say, "There's a dog on the bus!"

Better: take a photo of the dog on the bus, and post it.

Best: include a detailed description of the adorable features of the dog on the bus in the alt text.

‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Legalize more types of housing, in more types of places.

Dear Cities:
If you find yourself writing ordinances to ban #Ebikes from parks, please take a look at your streets. Are they safe enough for people--all people, including kids--to ride bikes? I'd bet a lot of money they are not.
Fix your streets first, and everybody wins.

the spontaneous single vehicle rollover epidemic continues

Driver Rescued From Overturned Vehicle - The MoCo Show Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Services (MCFRS) responded Sunday morning to the 15500 block of Old Columbia Pike in Burtonsville for a collision with entrapment. According to MCFRS spokesperson Dav...

Imagine if the Hell No‼️ Committee on Friendship Heights had to complain about "small multi-unit residential buildings in areas with single-unit detached residential buildings" instead of "multi-family housing units in single-family neighborhoods."

Hot take: we should use neutral language to describe buildings people live in. Single-unit, multi-unit. Residential, commercial/residential. Attached, detached. Single ownership, common ownership, rental.

A row of attached houses, which collectively are part of Farmstead District Condominiums, on 355 near Shady Grove Metro in Rockville. We know they are single-family houses because it says so right there in the property description: county land use category = single family attached.

ASCII sign bunny meme. The sign says "townhomes are single family homes".

Yeah, these condos are attached houses, which are single-family homes.

I never really expected to become a homeowner, love it that I am, but it’s only made me more adamant that housing should be available in ways that work for everyone and that includes rentals! It definitely includes apartments, which I lived in for ~15 years as an adult!

When a driver who is turning left in broad daylight
(apparently) can't see an adult-sized pedestrian who is crossing in the marked crosswalk with the walk signal
AND WAVING THEIR ARMS AT THE DRIVER...

that suggests lack of hi-vis is not the problem,
and #BeSafeBeSeen won't solve it.

Akshully, driving slow is more dangerous because it impedes traffic.

No speeding in *my* neighborhood

But I want to speed in *your* neighborhood

Many people are saying! bsky.app/profile/actf...

I am a safe driver whose driving speeds are safe.

Everyone who drives faster than me is a menace who should lose their license.

Everyone who drives slower than me should lose their license if they can't GTFOOMW.

Transit advocates: Can there be a bus lane here to help move people, not cars?
DOT: We will do a study about moving cars, not people.
DOT: Sorry, no bus lane possible where car traffic delays buses, it would interfere with the moving of cars.

Today marks the first day of Women's History Month; yesterday was the last day of Black History Month.

Every day is for women's history and Black history and Black women's history.

Because these are not histories that are separate from histories of war and economy.

that's right

Good morning to everyone who knows this is the way (folding, not pinching).

Action Committee for Transit Bluesky post. The transit dog of the day is happy that the meeting wasn't an email. Reposted of Steve Owen's post: It's bring your dog to monthly directors meeting in Reading Day today. A photo of a Saluki Greyhound crossbreed dog. She's beige with hairy arms, neck and ears. She's lying on the floor of a train, looking up and out of the window.

(Odd quasi-British subject-verb disagreement because on Bluesky, a search on hashtag TransitCats does not include hashtag TransitCat.)
