Late buses and ghost buses don't exactly sell MTS service. MTS needs more funding now, not maybe some time after 2028.
Those penguins are still staunchly against the Trump tariffs.🐧🖕🏿🐧🖕🏿
Public toilets at Old Town in San Diego are only open 6 hours each day.
Public restrooms in Old Town in #SanDiego are open a whopping 6 hours a day! That should be a much bigger deal than whether there's a cost for public parking.
"Total social benefits could be around $50 billion nationwide, the think tank estimated at the time, which translates to more than $75 billion today."
"The Brookings Institution found that pay-per-mile would save roughly $270 per car in 2009 — or more than $400 adjusted to inflation — and cut miles driven by 8 percent."
"Litman estimates that these policies would reduce vehicle travel by more than 10 percent across the board, and by 20-30 percent among the highest-risk motorists, since their steeper premiums would discourage driving even more."
In San Diego, the limited application of transit signal priority on portions of the 215 route is just designed to keep the bus on schedule, not to shorten travel times.
Speeding up buses by 20 percent in 6 years through citywide implementation of transit signal priority is huge!
I wanted to sharply reduce my car usage long before the 235 made it feasible due to cars being driven recklessly. And today, I'm glad I still have the car available for limited use as the 235 has incurred severe delays for several hours, not unironically due to a car being driven recklessly.
I've never once caused the closure of a major highway for several hours as a result of riding my bike or e-bike.
A bus lane would have kept the 235 out of that mess. But without a bus lane in areas of known car congestion, transit will always be slower than the slowest car.
Today has been another bad day for the 235, this time due the collision caused by a reckless driver of a car and the resulting closure of the left three lanes of the 15 before the 8, now going on 5+ hours.
Should we take the position the Republican Party has been an imminent threat to the United States for 47 years and apply the Republican approach to such threats?
Streets without cars don't need speed cameras. There is a solution here.
It's worse than that. A two minute delay in crossing a street can cause me to just miss a bus that comes only every 30 minutes.
Two cancelled 235 runs due to maintenance issues.
There was a service notice for a pair of cancelled 235 runs earlier in the day due to maintenance issues. But whatever's happening this evening is way worse than that.
Southbound 235 that was 95 minutes late.
This is a southbound 235 that passed me while I was waiting. It was somehow 95 minutes late!
Scheduled service this time of day on this route is every 30 minutes.
This is by far the WORST service I've ever encountered on the 235 this evening. It's going to be at least 90 minutes without a northbound bus from downtown. And I've been commuting on the 235 since the route was established.
Cars still have limited access highways while trains get stuck in car traffic without transit signal priority.
Northbound 7 stuck in traffic on Park Blvd where San Diego removed the bus lane.
Southbound 7 stuck in traffic on Park Blvd where there is no bus lane because maintaining unnecessary car parking was considered more important.
Around 7 AM on Park Blvd through Balboa Park this morning. #SanDiego is deeply unserious about making #transit better.
How much overlap is there between the loud angry minority that oppose more housing to those that oppose bike lanes?
“At this special meeting [in November] there were 121 pages of written public comment submitted with over 90% supporting not wasting the taxpayer money and supporting just finishing and improving, or ‘improve not remove’,” Lyndes said at Wednesday’s meeting.
And all of that's completely irrelevant except for all of the collisions caused by people driving cars.
How long before San Diego gets rid of that section of bus lane too because it's routinely blocked by cars?
Elevators closed on the north side of the Harbor Drive Pedestrian Bridge in San Diego.

There needs to be an ADA lawsuit against #SanDiego. It's completely unacceptable to make someone with mobility issues go on a half-mile detour because the city chooses not to maintain critical infrastructure for people that aren't driving.
San Diego is so fvcked.
Then for much of the distance from Zoo Drive to Zoo Place, cars were blocking the bus lane and then the bike lane. I had to cut across this line of cars to get to the general use lane, then got close-passed by someone using the bus lane to go around me because I couldn't use the bike lane.
After today, I'll avoid using Park Blvd southbound through Balboa Park when going to downtown on a bike. The green for Upas Street at Park was held indefinitely for every car that wanted to make the right turn from eastbound Upas to southbound Park.
