Thanks for the invitation, @mmautner.bsky.social, to chat about transit

Heard a story on @npr.org about a Somali man who twice voted for Trump but now regrets it after the president’s latest comments attacking Somalis. I’m glad he sees it now, but why didn’t the earlier xenophobic and racist rants raise alarms? Great example of the old “first they came…” warning.

Have people completely forgotten how to cover their nose/mouth in public when sneezing/coughing? Common courtesy, folks

"Hop Off Here" is something new to encourage transit use as a tool for exploring our region. Big thanks to transit advocate @adinalevin.bsky.social for suggesting I lean into my experience producing/hosting leisure podcasts and radio shows. Share it if you love it!

Is it just me, or are more people saying “im-POR-dent” instead of “im-POR-tant” these days?
It’s a “t” to “d” consonant shift and “a” to “e” vowel shift.

Great news for those using e-mobility to close those first/last-mile gaps with transit.

One of my favorite Transit Month activities is when the heads of the Bay Area’s transit agencies (including @samtrans.com and @caltrain.com) do a ride-along together and riders can ask them questions face to face.
This year’s ferry to train to bus excursion was through the North Bay.

The views from SamTrans bus routes 294 and 117 are outstanding. It’s Bay Area Transit Month — good excuse to ride them and see for yourself.

MTC invites survey participants to weigh in on bus stop sign designs The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and Bay Area transit agencies invite the public to take a short survey about new bus stop sign designs.

BART crime plummets, police report says The first seven months of 2025 have seen a significant decrease in both violent crimes and property crimes compared to the same period last year.

I know I can see/feel the difference when I ride. Public transit in the Bay Area is safe, easy, convenient, and affordable. It’s the best way to get around!
