Reposted by Samuelalex davis @alexdavistransit.bsky.social · 20/08/2025Wouldn't it be crazy if my dad, Erica and I spent all day taping PA Senator Tracy Pennycuick's phone number onto every single SEPTA stop in her district? Yes, it would be. But when SEPTA is under attack, there is no overkill.🤜 Have fun checking that voicemail box! 2171
Samuel @samuelsharp.com · 16/08/2025Excited to head this up for BuildSD with so many awesome community partners. All aboard! 010
Reposted by SamuelCatenary @catenarymaps.org · 12/08/2025Headed back to school? 🏫 Try transit! Many agencies offer "school-oriented routes" that are dedicated to students. Anyone can ride these buses, but they usually only run before and after school. Other agencies offer "trippers" that provide extra service. Whatever your commute is, good luck! 061
Samuel @samuelsharp.com · 10/08/2025Good luck to all the SDHS Cavers headed back to school next week! Hope to see some of you at UC San Diego in the years to come :D 030

Meet Rodney, a train conductor on the 6 line who's been with the MTA for 21 years! His goal? Make sure every subway rider, whether they're new or a daily commuter, feels comfortable. 2543
Reposted by SamuelOntario Traffic Man @ontariotrafficman.bsky.social · 05/08/2025This type of advocacy is why North American transit agencies predominently use the slower and more expensive Pay As You Enter model of fare collection. For Proof of Purchase to work, there need to be fare enforcement officers, but advocates freak out about any kind of enforcement. 3245

Reposted by Samuelalex davis @alexdavistransit.bsky.social · 26/07/2025My childhood and history as a person are inseparable from SEPTA and the freedom and joy it offered me and my peers. If I grew up with the SEPTA that PA Senate Republicans are about to create, the best parts of my childhood never would have happened. I would have just gone home on the school bus. 2102
