Plumber's Questions One of my favorite concepts With respect to transit: The citizens of a place have values. The transportation professionals ask questions to learn about a city's values. Then use their expertise to implement them into a transportation plan. #HumanTransitRevised

Some cool pics from the New York Transit Museum

Bout to start at Tour de Nash! @walkbikenashville.bsky.social

A young man just got on the 56 bus after a grocery run with 24 cans of various soft drinks. Shopping by bus is possible. Many people do it!

There's a Korean Festival in Nashville today. At Plaza Mariachi 11-4.

I'm on a packed 56 bus this Saturday. Those frequency improvements can't come soon enough! I think they are coming July 6th. Here is my selfie.

Pedestrian bridge over the railroad tracks & Ellington in East Nashville.

Dickerson & Cleveland. Cleveland should be road dieted to 1 lane in each direction with a center turn lane. No reason for 4 lanes.

Who needs public transportation? Just gonna buy a Canyonero to haul the YIMBRO crew around town. youtu.be/PI_Jl5WFQkA?...

People who say that the United States can’t build anything anymore must not be sports fans. Barely a year goes by without the debut of a sparkling new stadium or arena, often in the very cities where it’s most difficult to build almost anything else.

Cities don't function if everyone is in their own car. First sentence of @humantransit.bsky.social 's revised edition of his 2011📕 on transit. It's been 3+ years since I read the original but it feels much longer. So I will read the revised version to refresh my knowledge. #HumanTransitRevised

Did anyone make it to the East Bank Development Authority meeting today?

A little late but here’s your #BPACrecap from May 19th! 🧵

Nice bioswale design incorporated into the new flea market sheds. Could use some bollards to keep cars off the sidewalk.
