Deb Nam-KraneFree or heavily subsidized #publictransit is what we need right now.
N-gated Hacker News🚇 So some genius decided to turn public transit systems into a glorified spreadsheet, because nothing screams #excitement like sifting through endless rows of railcar history and station stats. 🤓 Why take a thrilling train ride when you can explore a “terminal-inspired interface” instead? 🚉✨

Bicycling Monterey 💚🌎🌍🌏Tony, a Monterey Parks employee, was one of many people who used the bike-and-ride option of Monterey-Salinas Transit to get to the MST bus stop on Del Monte at Camino Aguajito in Monterey today. This was a very convenient bus stop for people going to Window on the Bay Park for the #NoKings gathering.

Went to the opening of 2 Line at Judkins Park today to get railed
Which was a good plan because it was saturated with queers, furries, and transit enthusiasts (but i repeat myself)
I also helped paint the murals, got a Boop the Orca face tattoo and many good stickers

Metro Transit boosts service to handle 'No Kings' crowd
By Tim Harlow
Minnesota Star Tribune
Metro Transit says it is ready to move throngs of people who choose to leave their cars at home to attend today's "No Kings" rally in St. Paul.
“We’ve done this before,” agency spokesman Drew Kerr said.
Light rail: In anticipation of heavy transit use as attendance could top 100,000, Metro Transit will use three-car trains on the Green Line instead of the customary two. And extra trains will be at the ready. When one fills up, another will roll into the Capitol/Rice Street station, the closest platform to the festivities, Kerr said. …
Transit users can buy an All-Day Pass for $2 to $4, allowing them to take unlimited rides through 2 a.m. Sunday.
