online urbanists when its time to negatively polarize people outside their yuppie bubbles with thinly veiled racism

✌️ :P

odd signage on metra

least annoying michigan driver

who wants to go see aurora with me at loyola beach tonight

to the trans girl who just smiled at me as i got on the southbound 22 in andersonville i am so sorry for making a 🤨 face at you

you seem very cool i just was trying to figure out if i know you

this city is so gorgeous

to my followers in chicago: avoid Miko's Italian Ice my gf wears a mask in public because she lives with someone who is immunocompromised and wants to keep them safe after making it through their (really competitive) process, she got the job come day 1, she was told "you can either take off the mask or not work here" it's messed up for a business to show this much disregard for their employees. spread the word

hey if you're in chicago and want a cool treat please consider looking somewhere besides miko's italian ice.

it's ridiculous and shameful to fire someone for taking a basic safety measure that doesn't interfere with anythiny

what... i can't tell if this is actually this guy's badge number 😭😭😭

who's going to the merch mart CTA pin giveaway?

to round out this photo thread... here's some other shots i got out in milwaukee. thanks for stopping by!

ren and I also took the Connect BRT (also pretty Fast and Decent) out west to check out these huge catenary poles - some of the last remnants of the TMER&L mainline that once connected milwaukee to outlying cities across wisconsin with fast electric trains.

for the bus foamers: some other flicks i caught

this system is pretty small, only serving downtown & immediate areas. milwaukee has many dense neighborhoods and corridors that could definitely be served by rapid rail - these mixed traffic streetcars, though, are low enough in capacity & speed that they're probably best kept circulating downtown.

BOO!! photo thread!

milwaukee's Hop streetcar is actually pretty cool. a couple saturdays ago, @renzaro.com and i visited the city - a first for both of us.

frequencies weren't the greatest, but the vehicles were pretty nice & we moved quickly thanks to skilled operators. decently busy too!

It is incredibly annoying that Divvy forces you to buy an annual membership. If they offered a monthly payment option I would definitely try it...

"New yorkers are rude assholes" ok have you been to wisconsin

DING! Stop requested.
