Have been mulling the following recently: 1. When I was in college, there were retired people auditing ~all of my lecture classes 2. Turned out this was a program offered by the college to retired people who lived near campus 3. I decided that was how I wanted to spend my

As a designer of bus networks it is always great to hear that something I did improved somebody's life. In this case better access to the Cuyahoga Valley National Park for Cleveland cyclists.

I'm in Canada's Globe and Mail today with a piece on the fierce urgency of bus priority (paywalled, alas). theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…

DOGE employee says "I personally was pretty surprised, actually, at how efficient the government was," fraud was minimal, and abuse was "relatively nonexistent" npr.org/2025/06/02/nx-…

Ezra Klein responds to leftist critiques of “Abundance.” From my 35 years of working with US local governments, this seems exactly right to me. nytimes.com/2025/06/08/opi…

Why does Amtrak hide platform information like it's a state secret, only to be revealed at precisely the time to cause the most chaos? I know my track in Japan like two weeks ahead of time. LOL

We experts are not telling you that New York City buses could never be free. We're telling you that if they were, there would be a lot fewer of them.

If you make New York City buses free but not the subway you are prohibiting the transit agency from planning the buses and subway to work together. People will demand a bus line duplicating every subway line so they can avoid the fare. Huge waste of resources.

Let me be clear: ANYONE who vandalized Downtown or looted stores does not care about our immigrant communities. You will be held accountable.

Please share with any friends who think that civilization is collapsing in Los Angeles. Cries of Defiance and Songs of Joy in Los Angeles prospect.org/justice/cries-…

The military booing an American city, goaded by the president, is deeply unsettling.

In 2018, protesters against gasoline tax demonstrated in Paris. A radical few set fires near the Arc de Triomphe, creating scenes of chaos for social media platforms - like the iconic image below. (THREAD)

DO NOT repeatedly share photos of the same scene to give the false impression that all of Los Angeles is in chaos.

Speed enforcement cameras save lives. If you don't want a fine, don't speed.

In its best moments @cityjournal is an interesting source of conservative commentary on urban issues. But this headline conflating rioters with protesters is pure hysteria. Almost all Los Angeles protestors are peaceful, much as this may exasperate some in the media.

New York City: This tweet was unexpectedly popular, so I should add that I don't recommend choosing a mayor of New York based only on the issue of free bus fares. Vote your own values. If Mamdani wins, I expect he'll climb down from this position as many have done before him.
