HOLY FOAMER SHOT

4 offs/1 on at westchester cc, i’m impressed

made it to white plains! speed ate some delicious dominican food - now on a bus to get even further up into westchester

this is the most scenic this route gets

moved to the other Fun Seat (TM) on the bee line artics

i’m not sure if it’s possible to effectively crack down until metrocards are phased out and you can do real bus pop though

i fare evade opportunistically - when i think i can get away with it/it has a positive expected value. i think that rectifying that would be a good place to start

it’s interesting how quickly this bus empties out! we’re at tuckahoe rn and have <50% of the pax that we did when i boarded

BEST SEATS IN THE HOUSE BABYYYYY

Good morning! Today, I’m going from NYC to Poughkeepsie by subway + local bus - if all goes well I think I’ll be the first person ever to have done this!

JP @jpbrammer.bsky.social happy "unearthing the bizarre politics of the shooter" day to all who celebrate the great American tradition

As @jpbrammer.bsky.social wrote:

where tf in the LES is 25 mins from the subway?

hey njt why does my phone’s time zone matter

The one relatively low-budget but meaningful change to congestion pricing is for NY to subsidize more overnight NJT bus trips to NYC.

I'm... sympathetic to physical labor-class NJ commuters whose shift in Manhattan ends at 1230a but the last bus home leaves at 1215a. They don't have options now.

I have a bad feeling about congestion pricing. I don’t think the claims that it’ll become popular after enacted will pan out. This isn’t London or Milan where we’re building cross-city regional rail tunnels with frequent service – people aren’t going to see improved transit, just higher costs.

Heading back to Amsterdam (close to hotel if stomach gets me), but today @michaelsfba.bsky.social and I have taken all rail based public transport in the Netherlands

have to admit that as far as responses to “wanna get taco bell” go “sorry, i’m in amsterdam” is pretty Up There

big fan of this giant “bus tram taxi” sign at amsterdam zuid

Kms

biggest concern rn is that my power bank is in my bag in the overhead bins and my phone is at 4% 😭
