"This is no time to be driven by ideological rigidity" say the car washers, cartoon villains*, insurance, and crash repair companies demanding 100% of lanes remain a car-dominated shitshow. #transit #climateDenial #Portland #TriMet (* "metro chamber of commerce" was "Portland business alliance" until that name became synonymous with cartoon villainry)

61 businesses sign onto letter opposing bus lanes on 82nd Avenue

"extreme bus activists" 🤣
@enobacon Yeah, I didn't even touch that part of the comment because WHAT.
@Karstan TBH some extremes would be warranted if we've waited this long and lobbied for jurisdictional transfer and the money supposedly owed by the state for the negligence that's killed so many people over the years can't manage #BusLanes?? At some point enough people are going to catch on that all of that talk about "working within the system" toward #ODOTGTFOpdx is just stall tactics by and for the beneficiaries of car supremacy. Curb lanes of all 4-lane stroads could be bus lanes tomorrow
