Bill King @bill.social · 02/08/2026the new alert is wrong again! it should be shuttles from judkins to cap hill. also, no shuttle location is provided for judkins, just for every other station along the closure. why is this so hard? 041

I don't love what that says about our culture, and I also worry that it makes it harder to keep momentum going when elected leaders do the right thing. But you can be the change 23212
