Isabel Preto @isabelp.bsky.social · 03/10/2026One of my pet peeves is ppl who listen to music without headphones on public transit. Usually it’s young ppl playing stuff I don’t always know, but today it’s someone playing stuff like The Cure and Siouxsie and the Banshees. Still annoying but marginally less so. 020
Reposted by Isabel PretoOliver Moore @oliver-moore.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I, in turn, disagree. The biggest problem with our transit is the idea that subways are the only acceptable form of it. Want to get from city to city? That's what regional transit is for. GO rail and bus services need to improved massively rather than just building the subway farther and farther out 7386
