jeremiah @jerewoo.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Why is the truck using the bus lane as a loading zone? All four nearby buildings have a designated loading zone or loading dock that is closer than where this truck parked. But without enforcement, cars park in loading zones, leading trucks to park in bus lanes, making everyone slow and late 030
jeremiah @jerewoo.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Bus lanes actually speed up emergency response times. Except for when there’s a truck using the bus lane as a loading zone. 161

jeremiah @jerewoo.bsky.social · 26/09/2026paint is a great choice for quick-build pilots on existing corridors to deliver short-term wins as outlined in the 2024-2026 phase of the Connect Downtown Action Plan! not the best choice for a brand new supposedly transit-priority corridor being designed from scratch! 130

jeremiah @jerewoo.bsky.social · 24/09/2026and yet nothing to actually break up the bus lane from the car lanes and prevent cars from driving in the bus lane 140
jeremiah @jerewoo.bsky.social · 24/09/2026theoretically takes up more space, but i’d say having to dedicate 2 or even 3 sawtooth bays to each frequent route ultimately takes up a lot of space as well 000
jeremiah @jerewoo.bsky.social · 24/09/2026avoids passenger confusion about which Route X bus departs first when there’s two or three laying over in bays also generally shortens the transfer walk time for bus to rail transfers if every bus is dropping off closer to the rail station entrance before pulling around to its bay 100
jeremiah @jerewoo.bsky.social · 24/09/2026how common is this fuel-lane-esque bus bay layout? the saw-tooth layout seems to be default for transit centers/transfer points but I definitely see some benefits for terminal operations/frequent routes having separate space to unload, lay over, then pull up to the bay when it’s your turn to board 121
jeremiah @jerewoo.bsky.social · 23/09/2026also interesting that rowhomes are a class of single-family zoning that must be protected from the scourge of multi-family housing (ADUs) coming from nashville, rowhomes (townhomes) were themselves big bad evil multi-family density because of shared walls, even when subdivided on separate lots 050

jeremiah @jerewoo.bsky.social · 11/09/2026MARC train out of Baltimore is a little bit late, but shouldn’t be a problem with my transfer to the DC Metro at New Carrollton. With 7.5 trains an hour even at this branch terminal, there’s always another one a short wait away. 030

jeremiah @jerewoo.bsky.social · 10/09/2026by the end of 2023 they had restored pre-2019 service hours but reallocated around the frequent network, and began adding more crosstown service to convert the heavily radial network into a more productive grid 030
jeremiah @jerewoo.bsky.social · 10/09/2026yeah, a big city-wide fiscal crisis in 2019 led to significant cuts as covid dollars flowed in, instead of bringing back the low productivity commuter oriented peak routes that were cut, they focused on expanding nights/weekends frequency and span on the frequent network 150
jeremiah @jerewoo.bsky.social · 10/09/2026because of the 2019 cuts, WeGo was in a decent financial position entering the pandemic and used pandemic funds to expand service most agencies were already in a precarious position leading into covid and relied on covid dollars to maintain service leading to a fiscal cliff when those dollars ended 030
jeremiah @jerewoo.bsky.social · 10/09/2026the metric of “pre-pandemic ridership” though is rather flawed, nashville (and much of the US) was already on a long-term gentle decline in ridership leading up to the pandemic and had a pretty big dip after significant service cuts in summer 2019 120
jeremiah @jerewoo.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Nashville actually surpassed pre-pandemic ridership in Q3 of 2024 before the transit referendum was passed and hasn’t dipped below pre-pandemic ridership since when twitterers say “any city” they’re usually talking about the select group of cities in APTA’s largest category of transit operators 2100

jeremiah @jerewoo.bsky.social · 22/08/2026what you described the driver potentially having done violates multiple federal laws that require commercial drivers to inspect their vehicles and cargo whether it’s speed limits or commercial vehicle inspections, i think people should be held accountable when they break the law and kill people 140

jeremiah @jerewoo.bsky.social · 19/08/2026not surprised, with the new stop at 24th and the awful intersection paved like 4 lanes wide even though it’s only striped for two through lanes you’d serve the stop and then have merge over two lanes to your left in the middle of the intersection while cars are trying to turn right in front of you 140
jeremiah @jerewoo.bsky.social · 19/08/2026thank you for not suggesting that the poor working class nashvillian who did this face any consequences for their actions we must allow the carnage to continue unabated because punishing someone for their dangerous actions is worse than allowing innocent people to be killed /s 030
jeremiah @jerewoo.bsky.social · 19/08/2026yup, anyone with a CDL knows the driver was in the wrong. if the driver had done their job, Tasha would still be alive truly insulting the way Elizabeth keeps characterizing professional drivers as this last ditch job and can’t be expected to follow basic laws or held responsible for violations 040

jeremiah @jerewoo.bsky.social · 18/08/2026fwiw, your girlfriend’s repeated offensive caricatures of my profession as a low-wage low-skill job that can’t be expected to follow basic federal regulations is what dragged me into the thread happy to bow out since y’all refuse to recognize the driver’s negligence caused this violent killing 000
jeremiah @jerewoo.bsky.social · 18/08/2026insane that in Elizabeth's worldview it's ok to be mad at a driver who had a medical emergency, ran someone over and killed them but being mad at a commercial driver who failed to do their federally required checks and ran someone over and killed them make you part of the prison industrial complex 020
jeremiah @jerewoo.bsky.social · 18/08/2026the gaslighting is insane! the whole thread devolved because you and your girlfriend hyper-focused on an imprecise use of the term murder and ignored whitney’s whole point 110
jeremiah @jerewoo.bsky.social · 18/08/2026i just hope elizabeth can at least recognize the irony of inaccurately using the word “accident” to describe something that was not an accident while starting a whole hullabaloo over grammar policing Whitney saying “murder” instead of “criminally negligent vehicular homicide” 230
jeremiah @jerewoo.bsky.social · 18/08/2026tragic? yes accident? no 100% preventable if the driver had followed federal inspection requirements the driver should at the bare minimum have their CDL revoked 020
jeremiah @jerewoo.bsky.social · 18/08/2026among the many difference between you driving your car and a professional driver operating a commercial cargo vehicle is that federal law does in fact require them to look under the vehicle (and a lot of other places) before they start driving 180
jeremiah @jerewoo.bsky.social · 17/08/2026in fact, the biggest “scandal” of our speed camera program is that they work too well crashes decreased by 72%, people are speeding less, so the program isn’t bringing in the revenue that was going to be used to repair the highway foxbaltimore.com/news/city-in...foxbaltimore.comCouncilman blasts Baltimore speed cameras as costly failure despite crash reduction claimsBALTIMORE — For three years, motorists on I-83 have encountered two of the city's speed cameras, but the program's financial returns have fallen short of expect 120
