Here's a cool map I made:
Walking vs Biking 10 minutes from every @sdmts trolley stop.
6.5x more area covered biking. Biking and transit can work together beautifully.
It used to take 191 taps to sign up and ride transit in San Diego, now it'll take just one.
Contactless payments launch today!
I never would've guessed my tweet would lead to the creation of @ride_sd and so many people coming together to make easy fare payments a reality.
It's happening! I just used my credit card to pay for the bus!
MTS has entered the final testing phases of contactless payments ahead of the launch in the next week or so.
$190M in funding for public transit is headed to San Diego!
Governor Newsom finally release the SB125 funding that was originally supposed to be delivered a few months ago.

Really smart use of empty dorms over summer break, and I love that it includes a five-day @sdmts transit pass
This is so cool. UCSD is offering dorms for housing for Comic-Con. Special packages for alumni.
With a trolley, folks still won't have to rent a car. Plus programming on campus!!

It honestly makes no sense to me why train haters wouldn’t want the rail line buried underground where they don’t have to look at it.

Goi Cuon is my goto favorite restaurant in Hillcrest and they're participating in tomorrow's @SANDAG Bike Local Day!
Discount for people biking, which is easier than trying to find parking. Located between 4th & 5th ave bikeways. Highly recommend one of their combos.
Imagine bragging about building 2 million square feet of parking instead of a train to the airport
The New T1 Parking Plaza will be over 2 million square feet with three elevator cores that align with these open lightwells.
The first phase opens late summer! ☀️

If a train connection to the airport excites you, give @ride_sd a follow.

WOW stunning aurora! Waterfront park San Diego. And city connect colors?? Even mother nature rooting for the Padres
Actual photo I took out near mount laguna of the aurora glow. 3 second exposure on iPhone, but wasn’t really visible to the naked eye
Lots of new homes in the urban core. Fantastic. This is exactly where we should be building lots of new housing.
But now there's a clear need for better public transit. Bus lanes and BRT can help, but long term I dream of a North Park/Hillcrest/Bankers Hill trolley or subway.
Speaking of new transit... here's where the purple line subway is being planned. It misses much of the new density. If we're going to spend huge $$$ on a region changing project like this, we should upzone now to build dense housing near every stop.
