My final #TranspoBINGO card. Got whimsy 👑 on my way to a new ‘hood for the Active Transit Social at Atlas Bridge District. Also worth noting: this is the first time I’ve played without biking anywhere 😱 Score: 18

Rolled the dice and slid my way into a new-to-me public space - Samuel Gompers Park. He was the first president of the AFL. Then played memory match along the Shaw Heritage Trail - which was once connected by streetcars. #TranspoBINGO

Better late than never! Last night I connected two (quadrants and metro lines) - rode the red line and connected to the green line en route from NE to NW. #TranspoBINGO

Rode metro with my #TranspoBINGO co-founder @erinpalmerdc.bsky.social and spotted the celeb (off duty) who cleared the #snowcrete from the Met branch trail for my 2nd square. Thanks @dcdutchiedude.bsky.social!!! #bikedc

Here we gooooooo!! So excited to play #TranspoBINGO 2026! While I made sure to thank my bus driver on the way to #MBTPubRoll, I’m gonna play the DIY square. What’s the game? @wmata.com bus stop parkour.

Hey @wmata.com @wmatagm.bsky.social what’s going on with the D4X? This is the 2nd ghost bus at the Silver Spring depot. At this point I could walk to my destination faster.

In today’s ever-changing world, I’ve been looking for new ways to stay connected while living by my values. Facebook, Instagram and Bluesky just aren’t cutting it for me. I hope you’ll join me in moving back over to Friendster - where it all began.

How much would my commute cost annually (time & $$), if… 🚗 + 🅿️ (never do this) - 48 hours/$550 🚍- 40 hours/$216 🚲 - 32 hours/$150 (for bike maintenance at a local bike shop) In reality, I bike about 2/3 of the time and take the bus when I don’t roll. I also just got my first #TranspoBINGO!

Catching up on #transpoBINGO… a little art on wheels (aka fun shoes) and a resolution to get this game going on instagram, too!

Wouldn’t it be great if there were places to sit & wait for an @amtrak.com train at Union Station? Bringing back benches is just 1 way we can make this transit hub & public space more appealing! Don’t get me started on the sad state of retail www.streetsofwashington.com/2012/10/unio... #TranspoBINGO

Took a ride on an acoustic bike to check out progress on the mass transit project that inspired the “future transit spot” #TranspoBINGO square. Looking forward to 💜🚊💜!

A few other squares #TranspoBINGO checked off yesterday… ✅ Request city services (am I being too literal) ✅ DEI in transit: explained the concept of universal design & why benches are so important ✅ ✅ Also transported via a dedicated #bikedc lane & supported several local businesses
Updated TranspoBINGO card with more squares checked off Is this future of transit art or a city services request? Either way, it’s an unmarked speed bump in a contraflow bike lane with orange arrows and BUMP painted on it.

Kicking off my #TranspoBINGO thread with a a shiny new square: Transpo in Pop Culture! Can you guess these movie scenes (spoiler: it’s not in the alt text).

Hey #bikedc just a heads up that there is a massive pothole in the SB 14th St bike lane across from John Lewis’s Elem (bet Gallatin & Emerson). Reported to 311. Be careful!
