We’ll regulate everything except what’s actually killing kids. Cars and guns.

Apparently there's a downed power line that has interrupted Surfliner service for going on 3 days now. This is messing up my plans a ton. The endless unreliability is why people don't take the train.

How is every Amtrak train tomorrow sold out between SD and LA?

This is good, but can they please let us pay for less than 1hr via credit card? La Mesa does it so San Diego could too

If you’re thinking, “Where will my cash-strapped city get money without housing impact fees?”, may I suggest charging for curb parking?

Express Lanes for Express Trains San Diego should put tolled express lanes on the 5 freeway to fund speeding up the Amtrak and Coaster to 110MPH and to connect them to the airport with a rail connection.

Got a new phone from a Verizon store and they charged me for a $40 charger that they didn’t give me, a $40 setup fee that wasn’t disclosed (and I setup myself), added a $6/month “cloud” plan to my account, and bumped me up to a $8/m higher plan while explicitly telling me it’d stay the same price 🤦‍♂️

I rest my case:
"And some drivers admitted they have been forced to change their tune.

On Tuesday, a social media user named Ali Lyles posted a video on TikTok in which he compared being charged a toll as he crossed a bridge to 'being robbed without a gun.'

Just a short time later, he posted another video, acknowledging that he had saved half an hour from his commute. 'There wasn’t no traffic, bruh,' he said. 'I might actually like congestion pricing!'"

Some good news, Amtrak will be able to add 3 more round trip trains a day between San Diego and LA after a $27M federal grant! Now we need some more funding to add more double track.

American urban planning institutions regulate the wrong things, in the wrong ways, for the benefit of the wrong people. Urban planning should focus on accommodating population and economic growth in an orderly fashion and creating a pleasant public realm for everyone to enjoy.

The Surfliner would be like this every day if it was reliable and faster. People don’t want to sit in LA/OC traffic! It wouldn’t even cost that much to upgrade the line to nearly high speed rail

My 2 ¢: have a City of San Diego TRANSIT tax measure. MAYBE coordinate with South Bay. Regionalism only works when your region works together. Anyone following SANDAG can see board Repubs vigorously fighting for their way or the highway (which in this case is actually a series of highways).

SoCal's rail corridor (LOSSAN) is so poorly managed that recently Metrolink added a train that is scheduled to be in the same stretch of single track in San Clemente as an Amtrak train going in the opposite direction. This causes 30min-1hr cascading delays for multiple Amtrak trains.

There’s so much pedestrian traffic at this intersection too, right near the beach. I see people cross here all the time, because the alternative is so time consuming

December Nights is almost here! It's always a miserable mess of traffic, but there's a simple solution to let people skip the frustration: 1) Run shuttles from the trolley to Balboa Park 2) Temporarily extend the Park Blvd bus lanes 3) Heavily promote this great alternative

San Diego trolley has the lowest cost per passenger mile of any metro system in the country. A third the cost of Los Angeles

Hi Bluesky, I made a map: Walking vs Biking 10 minutes from every San Diego trolley stop. 6.5x more area covered by biking.
