Inspired by cities with real, expansive transit systems, I’ve created an updated @CATSRideTransit fantasy map. It consists of Light Rail, Streetcars, Commuter Rail, Amtrak, BRT, and monorail. Below is an Area Map, a System Map, and an Uptown reference map.

new york runs trains every 4 minutes at 2am and the rest of america can’t run a bus every 15 minutes at noon. we don’t have a transit technology problem we have an ambition problem. one city decided trains were essential and 300 others decided they were optional

Frequency is the most important factor. The vehicles being clean and not having visible disorder is the second most important factor. Fares, or lack thereof, is *at most* third behind these, and if you cut corners on either to get to free fares, your transit is going to fail.

the thing that gets people on transit isn’t free fares it’s not having to check a schedule. a bus that costs $2 and comes every 6 minutes will outperform a free bus that comes every 30 minutes every single time. frequency is the product. the fare is a rounding error

NEW: In a letter to employees, United CEO Scott Kirby says the airline is prepping for oil to hit $175/barrel & “doesn't get back down to $100/barrel until the end of 2027.” United is shaving 3% of off-peak flights - “think redeyes, Tues/Wed/Sat flying” - this spring & summer.

If you've spent any time on a New York street, you know how terrifying it is when someone drives recklessly. My Stop Super Speeders Act would hold the most dangerous drivers accountable by requiring them to install speed-limiting tech in their cars, keeping our streets safe.

For the first time since 1947, the pond at Freedom Park is being dredged. The county just revealed the first big haul from the process. So far workers have found fishing line and poles, picnic tables, tires and chunks of asphalt in the water.

Beyond being soulless, sprawling office parks are a land efficiency nightmare. Only 47% of this site is actually developed, meaning you need 1.8 sq miles of land for every 850k sq ft of usable space. (Alpharetta)
