anyway, not to don my tinfoil hat over here, but it feels like a conspiracy. i don’t think this is a radical idea: people should be able to choose how plugged in we want to be.
instead we all gotta live with hypnotism machines in our pocket. i hate it. i hate it and im throwing my iphone in a lake.

i bet some really cool mixed use stuff could pop up along the 48's route if it was able to

that is true, unfortunately none of it is commercially zoned and most of this map is based on my experience trying to go to a neighborhood and exploring, checking out shops and the food etc. which sadly the only stuff in potrero hill really doesn't cater to anyone in my income bracket

Has anything great happened in your life because of social media?

has anyone else noticed how many @sfmta.bsky.social bus stops have lost their accessible ramps? I find this to be very shocking and a pretty clear ADA violation. does anyone know what's going on here?
geolikestrains.bsky.social
infrequent and inconvenient bus connections cause this. and san mateo county also desperately needs baywheels in the meantime.

idk where I'm going with this but i thinking trying to induce demand for transit without emphasizing benefits of transit DESPITE lack of speed/frequency/convenience is just simply not going to work. the bus won't get better unless YOU ride it.
geolikestrains.bsky.social
I want my transit experience to become faster and more frequent, but that's never gonna happen if we rely on people on their own need for speed and convenience to choose transit. a choice to take transit is a choice for your community, your city, and your planet.

my partner and i commute an hour and 1h15m respectively too and from our jobs. we are still alive!

"I wish I could take transit" is something I hear a lot in the bay area and I'm like okay can you try maybe doing it one day of the week? get up a little earlier and take a car off the road? what about weekends? put a little effort into it cuz there's a lot of people who do it every day
geolikestrains.bsky.social
trying to induce transit demand by improving service is great but we also just need to encourage people to take transit when possible, even if not great, even if it's longer, even if it's inconvenient. i do believe at this stage of the climate and road safety crises it is basically morally mandatory
