This article about a dude stealing a Hamilton Transit bus, picking up / dropping off riders, collecting fares, and denying passage to someone with an expired pass will surely make your day. Hoping he gets off with a slap on the wrist... or, a job with Hamilton Transit.

Man who took Hamilton bus on joy ride 'did a great job' driving, left no dings, say police | CBC News
He made several stops along the way, allowing passengers to get on and off, police say. He was then arrested.

⚡📮Nice work @royal-mail.bsky.social, who have just announced the launch of a new fleet of over 100 micro electric vehicles, replacing 52 vans.
Better for the climate and for deliveries. This is exactly the kind of move we need to see for cities free of diesel vans!

Watched Netflix’ “Death by Electricity” over the weekend pertaining to the assassination of James Garfield. Really well done. Almost as good as this Simpsons gem… youtu.be/r8N7BSsU5oo?...

This is what happens electing people with limited knowledge of government. I mean, you wouldn't want the least experienced heart surgeon or oncologist, would you? So why would you want someone with little knowledge running government?
Super interesting ... and very disheartening. 💔🤍💙
