this is great but I'm sorry what's the issue with deep dish pizza from Chicago 🤨

Just gave it a try and it didn't show Peoria Charter as an option :/

there's also apparently just no way to get to Decatur via intercity bus

We have a great Amtrak network already but we definitely need to expand - as well as support more intercity bus operations

Kara Transit Authority @stormykara.bsky.social · 21h

related: the only* way to get to Peoria via public transit (no driving/flying) is by Peoria Charter and you have like two hours there before you gotta grab the last bus back to Chicago (only on certain days of the week, too)

*there is Flixhound but that is a multi-day trip

someone needs to make a website that searches and compiles intercity bus trips like they do for flights

I want one place I can search for intercity bus trips and see ALL my options, their prices, the travel time, etc.

They’re literally kidnapping people - shoving them into vans and speeding off

(shared with permission) ICE/CBP has been active on Chicago's northwest side this morning—and also met with rapid responders.

Agents reportedly abducted one man from this Dunkin at Belmont and Milwaukee around 9:30am before speeding off.

It's so painful 😭 idk what else they realistically could've done, though

I think the Cubs are playing away games during the maintenance - I think it finishes early wednesday morning in time for that days home game!

ok but like, SMG's music is absolutely incredible

It'd be based if they built an ICE spotting functionality into the 311 app or smth lol

Kara Transit Authority @stormykara.bsky.social · 2d

I’ve been blocked as well apparently? Unless it’s saying blocked because you’re blocked…

Yeah one side of the story is that a family with children were enjoying a day in the park and the other side is federal terrorist secret police came and kidnapped them

Kara Transit Authority @stormykara.bsky.social · 3d

For what it's worth, the Hiawatha is one of the more frequent services outside of the northeast, so CHI-MKE by train is already pretty feasible

I mean, I won't say no to *more* or *faster* service, but it's definitely not too bad right now

why is he so large

They’re a hostile occupying force, they don’t care who they harm, they have no regard for us or our city
