Today in #urban hellscape living:
Took two cheap, convenient modes of #PublicTransportation , enjoyed active time in the park, will probably walk around the corner to my favourite local pub later this afternoon.
When will the nightmare end?
As the CIO of a Public Transportation Agency, I find I often have to explain to people that it takes a lot of remarkable technology to keep a Modern Transit Vehicle operating:
(And thanks, and apologies, to XKCD.com for the obvious hack)

#PublicTransportation use has been shaped by corporate influence more than personal choice. As a nation, we in the US poured money into automobile infrastructure and suburban tract housing and now act like it's inevitable and natural for people to spend their lives driving.
The Chicago region may have to drastically cut #PublicTransportation services next year if we don't get additional funding. Entire train and bus lines may stop working. Illinois is controlled by Democrats yet only 17% of our region's public transportation funding comes from the state.

Even if it isn't technically a conflict of interest, it both seems borderline like one, and a missed opportunity to bring someone in who has experience running operations for a rail system.
Riding the train from Milwaukee to Chicago today, and it just reminds me how simple and affordable #PublicTransportation should be a service that every modern nation provides for jts people and visitors.
Car Brain makes public transportation suck. Two train stations, one in Japan and one in America. In Japan, pedestrians and cyclists can easily access the station and there are groceries, convenience stores, and restaurants and tons of bicycle parking by the station. In America there is a freeway interchange to a 4-lane divided highway surrounding the station. Who is going to commute by train there? #CarBrain #PublicTransportation #Urbanism #FuckCars
I’ve ridden on numerous Japanese trains

China's Intelligent Rail Transit (IRT), often referred to as Trackless Trams or Autonomous Rail Rapid Transit (ART), is an innovative public transportation system that combines the benefits of buses and traditional rail systems.
The system is designed to be flexible, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly, while still offering the capacity and efficiency of rail transit.
The ART system has been deployed in several Chinese cities, including Zhuzhou and Yibin.
The elevator at the train station has a sign that says that urinating in the elevator is an arrestable offense. On the floor of the elevator is a pile of poop (assumed to be from a human). It has a footprint in it. Some unfortunate soul must not have seen it.
The elevator needs an updated sign.
Alabama #GOP couldn’t even spare $5 (that’s 42¢ a month!) to get better public transit for their state
