Reposted by NCS Enjoyerkyle tear down that highway lucas 🏳️🌈 @itskylelucas.com · 04/10/2026Waymo is not a last-mile solution, nor a transit solution. And most certainly should not benefit from any of the transit funding we won in fighting for NITA. It is a car-centric proposal that offers no real systems change, shares all the same geometry, capacity, and environmental ills of cars. 1723748
