Not Just Bikes just dropped a video a few days ago that exposes John Forrester's BS.

I always thought Ireland was smarter than this. Car brain disease is insidious.

I can take a commuter train to one. It's right by the station.

More women's voices, especially moms, are needed in this space.

Just ignore them. The worst of the worst comments can be reported for trolling/anti-social behavior

Some of them are blatantly nasty, then get butthurt and mute you or limit replies if you challenge them.

Doesn't matter. Problems will cascade to the entire network. Also, a lot of NEC routine maintenance is classified as capital expenditure, which requires gov't funding.

Amtrak receives federal operating support too. They WILL run out of cash at some point, if the shutdown persists.

Except that Amtrak will run out of cash and cease operations at some point, if the shutdown continues.

He never worked for Blackwater. Lie much?

Strokes cause personality changes (I witnessed similar with a coworker once), which his staff agrees is the likely cause of his.

@amtrak.com is short of equipment as it is. Even with new Airo trainsets coming on line over the next 1-2 years, they need to keep cars around for expansion.

I'm sorry to hear that. Thanks for responding.

Ontarians missed a chance back in the spring to vote him out. Why?

Agree.

Why do Ontarians keep voting for Ford? I've never understood it.

^^"Reading through Platner’s many hundreds of anonymous comments, it’s hard to paint him as a secret white supremacist or far-right extremist of any kind. In fact, his posts more or less align with the persona he has presented to voters in the two months since he launched his campaign"

Once more for the slow people... The full context is that the experience jaded Platner and it wasn't even the same company or the same management that caused all the problems in the 00s. There is no reason for your guilt by association take.

The city needs to be sued for constructing the dangerous bike lane that resulted in this.

No. Because the full context matters. Also, it was actually Constellis, a successor to Blackwater in terms of inheriting their contracts, but under completely different management.

Car loan defaults are the highest in 16 yrs. In a country where, in most places, you can't get there unless you drive, we need high-quality transportation alternatives. Car ownership should be a free choice, not mandated by transportation and land-use policies: www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

What we lost when cars won Americans once feared cars. Now we can’t imagine life without them.

“It’s so endemic, it’s so pervasive, it’s so ubiquitous, that people don’t recognize just how much it is all around them”

I've been talking motonormativity with @grist.org. Also features @sgoodyear.bsky.social and @brooklynspoke.bsky.social

We need more candidates who support alternatives to driving. Glad to see Graham Platner does.

Yes! Thank you. As far as the quality of transportation system in the US, we aren't much better than a developing nation. We are so far behind.

The housing system is built around the assumption that home values ahpuld only ever go up. When they fall, lenders stop lending and builders stop building. If you don't address this, you fix nothing.

How about world-class transit and passenger rail systems too? Americans desperately need options to driving for a variety of reasons.

While interesting on a theoretical level, no amount of driver education (or lane building) will fix traffic. We need high-quality options to the car keys so people can bypass traffic altogether.

K-shaped cars: New vehicle prices top $50,000 while auto loan delinquencies keep rising Look no further than the automotive industry for the latest indication of a potential "K-Shaped" economy for U.S. consumers.

Cars subjecting Americans to debt servitude. We need high-quality options to the car keys. Legalize transportation freedom.

Right on: "one of the best things states could do would be to reduce the frequency and severity of car crashes, indirectly bringing down the cost of insurance. Speed limits, speed bumps, roundabouts and other safety measures would make driving safer, he said — and safer means cheaper to insure."
