For the cost of a few highway interchanges, Rhode Island could have this instead.
Still constantly amazed that there used to be a highway here. The only thing I miss about it is the murals in the underpass, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

pleased to report that after submitting this to the newly-discovered 311 portal for my town, it was cleared within an hour
On my walk home from the bus after the Save RIPTA press conference. I would have had to wait an extra 50 minutes to catch the last 75 which would have brought me much closer to home, so instead I took the 72 and walked 2 miles. Usually it's a decent walk, but this shit makes it infuriating

Registered a domain name for 98 cents to see how easy it is to have a custom domain handle. It's pretty easy!

It's just so absurd to me that this project was ever given the go-ahead from the start. Pawtucket should have done everything in its power to make this parcel a useful contributor to the community instead of a windowless cube that will clog North Main Street with more big trucks.

Is "too busy watching squirrels" a valid excuse to call out of work?

I guess this is what I'm fixating on now. Purple starts at North Station, is 391 miles long, and goes through the Hoosac Tunnel, as a treat for foamers. Green is 430 miles and brings rail service back to St. Johnsbury & Newport VT.

When I first started biking for transportation I had never heard of John Forester but I naively assumed that if I just followed the traffic rules and behaved like a car, the drivers would have to respect my existence! My first ride down a signed "bike route" quickly dispelled me of that notion..

Hypothetical routes for a Boston-Montreal train, because I wish I could take the train to Montreal. Red is 383 miles w/ new service to Palmer, Amherst, & Millers Falls MA, & Ludlow VT. Blue is 425 miles & duplicates Downeaster to Portland, then cuts across NH & NEK VT to serve Eastern Townships

I wish it was easier to get to Gillette Stadium and the stuff around it, so I came up with the idea of running shuttle trains between Framingham and Mansfield to provide regular service to Patriot Place from 3 different MBTA lines. Not sure how feasible it would be, but it'd be nice for me!

You can also now book a single-ticket ride from the NEC to the Downeaster that includes a "self transfer" (aka 'taking the Orange Line') from Back Bay to North Station.
ICYMI: @amtrak.com Downeaster (Boston, MA to Brunswick, ME) is celebrating their 25th anniversary in 2026! They’re currently having a January fare sale! $13 one-way or $26 roundtrip using promo code V530 if you book at least 3 days in advance! 🚆🌊 amtrakdowneaster.com/experiences/...

Just bought tickets for my first King Gizz show(s) and I'm unreasonably excited. Looking at my watch like Milhouse waiting for the year 10,000 until August 19

Freaking love this city and all the people in it so much….a bunch of people went and turned the 4 train into the Polar Express giving out toys to kids along the way from the Bronx to Brooklyn….shoutout to the @newyorkers.live account on IG for doing this 🙏 www.instagram.com/reel/DSnsvWS...

The $17 million that represents the difference between life and death for transit in RI is 0.1% of Rhode Island's $14,340,000,000 budget.
Let's see if @govdanmckee.bsky.social will shortchange RIPTA once again… 🫠
If he does, then we'll fight like hell to get RIPTA the funding it needs to help keep Rhode Island transit riders on the move. We'll even raise our voices during the gubernatorial election next year! ✊🏻🚌

After a year of trimming its finances to try to stave off job cuts, RIPTA still faces a nearly $14 million budget deficit under its latest financial plan approved by the agency’s board of directors. By @krish-eh.bsky.social rhodeislandcurrent.com/2025/12/17/r...

Nuuk, Greenland, population ~20k has a bus system with 10 minute headways most of the day and operating hours from 6am to midnight. Arlington, Texas, population ~400k has a minivan you can maybe get a ride on if one of the 6 seats is available and the driver doesn't have too many stops to make.
