Metro areas in the USA where more than 5% of population uses public transit to get to work.

A bill has been proposed by Georgia Congressman Hank Johnson to have the federal government increase subsidies of Public transit by 80 billion dollars in major US cities to help systems recover from the post Covid decline in service and ridership. Allowing for an increase in frequency, and additional funding for passes for low income residents. The bill is called the Stronger Communities Through Better Transit Act

i don't think people realize that like, 70% of the ‘solar punk’ aesthetic is just investing in better public transportation. like literally. no air pollution? invest in better public transportation. no cars? better public transportation. more walkable cities? better public transportation. greener urban areas? better public transportation. more bike lanes? better fucking public transportation. come on guys.

my gf and i argue all the time about which t line is better im an orange line girlie but she for some reason insists the green line is better. please help me talk some sense into her lol

I'm sorry OP, but the orange line is the heart of simplicity on the T. It's a single path with no variation. Even the red line has at least one split. Don't get me wrong, there is beauty in simplicity, but simplicity is not the Massachusetts way. The green line has some chutzpah. It has four branching paths, and union square to boot. That's the spirit of Boston right there, pain and confusion in your transportation choice. However, you are both wrong. The silver line is where it's at. That thing is such a mess it has to be numbered to differentiate it from itself. There are loops, connections to all four other lines in the weirdest places. You get the worst of Boston roads and the worst the t has to offer all in one package.

moving to a city with public transport after driving your entire life & also having bad bad time blindness or whatever is wild because every time i go anywhere Without Fail i think i can move faster on the scheduled, consistently paced trains than gps says i can. and of course i’m wrong about this but maybe we should give it a go one more time
