So not unexpected that there would be police activity in that part of downtown #SanDiego.

I'm a worker that uses transit. Ridership is back, but not pre-pandemic service. Our boomer overlords have banned even occasional telework even though it worked really well during the pandemic.

Just think of all the ways Balboa Park could be transformed to allow for faster access by cars.

San Diego has the best climate on Earth, but it also does stupid and cheap better than anywhere.

Get rid of Prop 13 in places that don't meet their housing target.

The lone plus of Trump overextending the military everywhere is little is left to attack citizens in the United States. Fuck Trump!

#SanDiego would rather shut down public restrooms and elevators for those with mobility issues than deal with a homeless crisis made much worse by Prop 13 NIMBYs.

I stopped on my trip on the blue line because of that restroom, though the last time I'd used it was pre-pandemic and it's still listed as a public restroom on Google Maps. what public restroom is limited to only 6 hours per day?!

It's little different from equality based on race or gender when the formerlly most privileged no longer have that level of excessive privilege. Cars should never have more privilege than people, especially in a city.

There have been parking garages that have collapsed because the weight of these vehicles, collectively, has exceeded the design specifications of those garages.

Late buses and ghost buses don't exactly sell MTS service. MTS needs more funding now, not maybe some time after 2028.

Public toilets at Old Town in San Diego are only open 6 hours each day.

Public restrooms in Old Town in #SanDiego are open a whopping 6 hours a day! That should be a much bigger deal than whether there's a cost for public parking.

"Total social benefits could be around $50 billion nationwide, the think tank estimated at the time, which translates to more than $75 billion today."

"The Brookings Institution found that pay-per-mile would save roughly $270 per car in 2009 — or more than $400 adjusted to inflation — and cut miles driven by 8 percent."

'Stupendous Potential': Pay-Per-Mile Auto Insurance Would Cut Costs And Traffic Violence - Streetsblog New York City Lowering car insurance costs doesn't have to eviscerate crash victims's rights.

"Litman estimates that these policies would reduce vehicle travel by more than 10 percent across the board, and by 20-30 percent among the highest-risk motorists, since their steeper premiums would discourage driving even more."

In San Diego, the limited application of transit signal priority on portions of the 215 route is just designed to keep the bus on schedule, not to shorten travel times.

Speeding up buses by 20 percent in 6 years through citywide implementation of transit signal priority is huge!

I wanted to sharply reduce my car usage long before the 235 made it feasible due to cars being driven recklessly. And today, I'm glad I still have the car available for limited use as the 235 has incurred severe delays for several hours, not unironically due to a car being driven recklessly.

I've never once caused the closure of a major highway for several hours as a result of riding my bike or e-bike.

A bus lane would have kept the 235 out of that mess. But without a bus lane in areas of known car congestion, transit will always be slower than the slowest car.

Today has been another bad day for the 235, this time due the collision caused by a reckless driver of a car and the resulting closure of the left three lanes of the 15 before the 8, now going on 5+ hours.

Should we take the position the Republican Party has been an imminent threat to the United States for 47 years and apply the Republican approach to such threats?

Streets without cars don't need speed cameras. There is a solution here.

It's worse than that. A two minute delay in crossing a street can cause me to just miss a bus that comes only every 30 minutes.

Two cancelled 235 runs due to maintenance issues.

There was a service notice for a pair of cancelled 235 runs earlier in the day due to maintenance issues. But whatever's happening this evening is way worse than that.

Southbound 235 that was 95 minutes late.

This is a southbound 235 that passed me while I was waiting. It was somehow 95 minutes late!
