I find this type of comment so elitist. It IS the most inconvenient and stressful form of long distance public transportation, yet people still use it in droves because they have no other choice. Are we going to just pretend that's not an insane class divide worth highlighting?

The Essential Air Service costs the US Government millions every year to subsidize flights to small airports, but is it really worth the money? Should we be subsidizing something else instead? Find out in my latest video: youtu.be/SBJX3u7sl_E

In my latest video, we talk about the three building blocks that go into any public transit, anywhere: frequency, span, and coverage. youtu.be/Nsu5GFdei5s

Deeply disappointed by the San Diego City Council's decision to delay charging for parking in Balboa Park. This is an essential revenue measure that we must reduce the carve-outs in, not the other way around. The City's public services will pay for this decision.

The Democrats actually find their answer to the “How do we reconnect with young men” question about once every six months but it’s never a guy who will take a donation from Lockheed Martin so they consider the question unanswerable.

TransLink recently revealed an investment plan that fixes their once-dire fiscal cliff and even increases service. How did they do it, and what can other cities learn from their approach? Find out in my latest YouTube video: youtu.be/1gie5HXRvq8

Are you scared because someone is peeling fruit on the train minding his own business?
Have you ever seen someone peel fruit with a knife on public transit? This man on the Seattle subway was doing just that, with the knife resting on his bag beside him. Would you feel comfortable sitting nearby?

If you thought the Pittsburgh and Philadelphia transit cuts were bad... HB31 87 which passed out of committee would basically kill Dallas transit. It would scale back and redistribute taxes for transit. Causing almost all routes to be canceled

In this week's YouTube video, I try out a brand-new San Diego bus route, the 910 Overnight Express! Connecting Downtown to the Mexican border, it's a fun adventure, but didn't go exactly to plan... youtu.be/AOWrC-CHh2A

To sum up: US public transit is recovering well. It’s building a new and more enduring market. It’s still a critical public investment for cities. It could be doing a lot more. But we can’t expect it to do that with the old funding model. That world is gone. 12/12
