This machine kills fascists.

Every trip you take on public transit, even on diesel buses, reduces oil dependency.

Buses are significantly more efficient than cars, and many agencies like King County Metro and TriMet have transitioned to renewable diesel, that doesn't get pumped from wells.

Good afternoon from the H line!

DE60LFR vibes are unmatched!

The smooth ride, quiet drivetrain, and roomy interior of these older, heavier buses is such a pleasant passenger experience.

PaxEx wise, this generation was pretty much peak bus.

Y'all really have no idea...there are so many situations in which I need this detail about a family of bus transmissions and I need it right *now* with first-party reference material that I can crosscheck to make an informed and accurate statement.

When literally all you use ChatGPT for is to comb through bus specifications, and look for hard-to-find details in service manuals 😂

Andrea Suarez is fabricating narratives out of wholecloth, again, as per usual.

This isn't real, SPD didn't "drop" anything, and we know because she won't post even a snippet of it.

The followup 1-hr-later backpedal tweet makes that quite clear.

Guys, check it out! It's your SIM swapping checklist!

Ever wanted to ruin someone's life? Now you can!

Reset all of their passwords by telling T-Mobile they're dead, then break right into their account, and SIM swap away!

(JK, but "SIM swapping checklist" is what T-Mobile should call this page)

This falafel goes out to Mayor @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social of New York City, who wants to make halal $8 again!

Street vendors have it real tough, and their presence is a blessing. Godspeed, Mr. Mayor, for caring about their wellbeing 🫶🥙🗽

Happy New Year, Transit Riders!

Transit in Puget Sound is free tonight! Take routes 1, 4, 8, 13, 32, or the RapidRide D to Seattle Center to watch the fireworks, then get home safe, requesting a Night Owl stop if you need to!

Like Metro, @seattletru.bsky.social wishes you a safe trip home!

On a related note:

Hey @kingcountymetro.bsky.social! Stop #45840 could really use some love (especially: lighting)!

Transit works best when it's useful to as many people as possible, performing as many different kinds of types of trips as possible.

In perhaps the quintessential Seattle example of an unpredictable utility trip:

Here's me, delivering a new procurement of kitchenwares from Costco on a bendy boy!

I'm often grateful I don't have to drive in my daily life, but particularly so on days like this.

Buses are ridiculously safe, with rates of injury closer to air travel than driving.

32 fatalities per 100 million miles traveled - 0.4% - in 2023.

The contempt that the Seattle Police Officers Guild holds for its' citizens is incomprehensible.

Imagine if ATU openly hated a large chunk of its' riders, and posted things like this on its' socials.

You can't. It's incomprehensible.
