In my 30s, I realized I didn’t have any friends. So, I’ve been on a year long mission to change that 👋 Introducing The Friendship Bus 🚌 -this Oct, we’re hitting the road from Chicago to DC, Philly, and NYC to build friendships and #VoteFriendship 🇺🇸 flashpack.com/us/bus/

@Shazna_Muzammil @NationalHways @bedspolice @letstalkcentral My wife is also stuck on this road (5 hours now) with no supplies. I’ve heard people with young children are also stuck without water / supplies. Feels crazy that it’s not standard practice to give out water during an incident like this in hot weather?

🚨 Avoid the A421 near Roxton 🚨 I’ve been stuck here for FOUR hours with no clear updates or diversion signs. If you’re heading this way, do NOT use this route — you’ll be trapped with no end in sight. @NationalHways @bedspolice @letstalkcentral — urgent comms are needed. People deserve better than to be left stranded on a Saturday afternoon. @BBC3CR it’s not 50 mins .. we’ve been stuck here for over four hours along many others. To anyone already on the road: expect long delays. Bring water, snacks, a blanket, a mobile toilet and a sense of humour — you’ll need it. Please share to help others avoid this mess. #NationalHighways #HellishTrafficManagement #BlackCatRoundabout

@rhiaaaa792 @HighwaysEAST My wife is in the same situation- stuck with no water or supplies for over 5 hours. Will water be supplied to drivers?

@HighwaysEAST My partner has been stuck with our two year old since 12:26, they have no water or food - there was no signage or stopping of him getting on. Is there any further update or supplies being offered?

There is currently a broken down car in the #A421 delays between #A4280 #Bedford & #A1 #BlackCatRoundabout There is reduced capacity on the A421 north as a result which is adding to the current congestion Recovery agents have been dispatched Severe delays of up to 120 minutes

The Friendship Bus arrives in Philly today. Once on-board, people are paired up with strangers and asked a series of questions to, hopefully, spark new relationships. trib.al/2NYyWRN

According to a 2024 study, Washington. D.C. was among the loneliest cities in America. But, an adventurous travel organization is hoping to change that with a Friendship Bus. bit.ly/3NjNWb4

Loneliness Led Me To Asking 1000 People To Be My Friend, This Is How It Went huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/loneline…

@GeorgieR30 @flashpack @yahoolife Thanks for the opportunity @GeorgieR30 - I hope this inspires many other men to break the stigma surrounding loneliness and join me in the mission to forge new friendships!

Loneliness is not something we like to talk about, is it, so I’m grateful to Lee Thompson, co-founder @flashpack for chatting so openly about his campaign to make more friends in midlife. I’m sure lots ppl will relate. Latest for ⁦⁦⁦⁦@yahoolife. uk.style.yahoo.com/lonely-mission…
