Future for riders is frightening if AC Transit expands hydrogen fleet and they continue to perform so poorly.

At scale, 43% or 64% availability would lead to tons of canceled bus runs.

A few years ago BART experienced similar availability due to rain/wheel flats, and it absolutely wrecked service.

Please call your CA Assemblymember today and ask them to vote for SB 79, which faces a critical vote. The reason we ask you to do this is because it works. findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov

$31 billion over 4 years to subsidize the car industry.

If instead that money was spent on public transit operations, it would end the transit agency fiscal crises in CA, IL, PA, and other states.

No service cuts. Big service increases.

Republican priorities are backwards. We need change.

If you merely recite what the president *says is in a trade deal, you’re committing journalism malpractice

After mismanaging the MTA for 10+ years as Governor, Andrew Cuomo would now like to mismanage it as Mayor.

Man Afraid to Ride Subway Named Head of NASA Trump has tapped Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy as NASA administrator.

A lesson on how to write a headline.

I encourage everyone to read this letter.

Please then realize the president is imposing a tax on American consumers to leverage a foreign nation into making a domestic political decision that will help one of his political allies.

Sign on BART fare gate: Clipper currently has a system outage throughout the region. Please proceed through the fare gates.

Nice to get a free BART ride this morning, but this is terrible.

Clipper 2 is years later than planned - holding back critical fare improvements - and Cubik can’t even keep the original Clipper system running.

MTC needs to hold Cubik accountable and make transit agencies whole for fare loss.

The impossible has become possible: we've passed a clean CEQA infill exemption. This is probably the most important thing California has done on housing in the present YIMBY moment.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands.

Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

Just incredible

Addiction to short form content scrolling will do that.

What happened to worker solidarity?

AAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUGH.

TARIFFS ARE TAXES ON CONSUMERS.

Memo to the President: Manhattan Economy Improving, Thanks to Congestion Pricing - Streetsblog New York City Lower Manhattan's economy has gotten an almost billion-dollar boost in just the first month of congestion pricing's existence, the MTA said on Wednesday.

This is really funny because after congestion pricing launched and the haters were instantly proved wrong — traffic really did go down, transit use really did go up — they clung to "well let's see the business receipts!" as a last resort. And now we know business receipts are through the roof!

The U.S. betrayal of Ukraine & Europe will go down in history as one of the greatest betrayals of democracy. The U.S. is acceding to a brutal dictatorship’s conquest of part of a democratic nation.

This capitulation will do nothing but embolden Putin & other autocrats to grab land from democracies.

NYC Sees Pedestrian Traffic Increase in Congestion-Pricing Zone Pedestrian traffic on New York City’s busiest streets increased in January even after motorists began paying a new toll to drive into those same neighborhoods.

Congestion pricing seems to have triggered a surge in Manhattan pedestrian activity:

“Nearly 36M people last month were in areas south of 60th Street in Manhattan, a 4.6% boost from January 2024.” (The increase was 1.6% outside the zone.)

Suggests retail sales are growing within the zone, too.

The Democrats had almost a year to devise a strategy to counter Proj. 2025 should it be enacted and they completely neglected to do so. That they're now on the back foot against it is a problem of their own making, and it isn't being a bad solider to tell them we expect better from them.

Imagine if media literacy as a high school class. Literally teaching kids how to read and parse and fact check consumed media. I see no downsides. Maximum real life applicability.

TARIFFS ARE TAXES ON DOMESTIC CONSUMERS.

BREAKING: Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin KILL Biden nominee for Nat'l Labor Relations Board (NLRB), which would've meant Dem majority till '26

Instead Trump gets to set labor rules

So when EVERYONE in America loses overtime - as Project 2025 promises - thank Sinema and Manchin

Huge document drop on the California State Rail Plan website, including a statewide network takt diagram and full list of infrastructure projects. For the first time, we are seeing the state planning an electrified "Sac-OAK-SF-SJ Mega Corridor":

If they proposed to build the Golden Gate Bridge now, it would never happen.

We lost the thread on the common good.
