sam sklar, who is exasperated.

just remember the next time you can’t figure out why people drive everywhere all the time—especially in new york—it’s because of 20-25 min headways, and not because people are jumping the turnstiles.

i rarely tweet anymore if ever but for the love of all that is god or whoever you pray to. you DO NOT NEED TO PUSH THE BUS DOORS OPEN ON MTA BUSES. touch does not mean PUSH violently. thank you for coming to my TED talk.

shout out the conductor on this F train for kicking the surprise disrupter off the train.

shinjuku—busiest station in the world by footfall—at 10pm on a tuesday.

@aarmlovi why does *your* need to travel on the train with a dog outweigh *my* fear of dogs if i had one? it’s just so damn selfish and so damn american. indicative of the bigger problem that we simply don’t care about each other and seek to break community whenever it requires sacrifice

@aarmlovi NO FUCKING DOGS on trains. no. the problem isn’t that YOU don’t think your dog won’t misbehave it’s that WE don’t know that. the problem is that there’s no way to cure IF there’s any issue for several seconds to several minutes. it’s different than dogs elsewhere.

The NYC subway is back down from COVID-era crime rates, it's very safe to ride, but some norms haven't returned yet A lot of people have forgotten how to take their backpacks off, and dog owners have stopped following the law to put pets in bags/carriers on the subway

this is what @jetlagthegame, F1, japanese whiskey, duck ramen and a little courage gets us: four new friends from everywhere who now can meet up anywhere. thanks @wendoverpro + @adamhchase + @thewheatgerm for helping bring us together.

San Francisco’s planning laws are so absurd that 20 people blocked a private company from opening a Pilates studio because they didn’t want competition. Why is asking the public if a business can open in an existing storefront even a thing?!

proud to support interesting data and information tied to a tremendous report led by Cityfi Principal, Marla Westervelt.

this week the team at Cityfi and I released our groundbreaking study on the inconsistent at best permitting scheme for advertising in the public right of way for the City of Los Angeles.

so so so so many more people with acute mobility challenges getting on and off buses, trains, bikes, etc—wouldn’t it make business sense to design our tools to meet the business and equity challenges? #Accessibility #publictransit

@the_transit_guy Debt/Equity Inversion?

You'll never guess why Fox News thinks we have a housing crisis...

...the MTA can demonstrate exactly where Congestion Pricing dollars are going, especially to riders who feel put upon by a state revenue enhancement without adequate and/or overwhelming service to replace a car trip to work, school, services, or joy.
