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

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
Samuel @samuelsharp.com · 31/07/2025The story I've always heard is SANDAG setting up a tax district for the developers building out the neighborhood, using that for building all the cool infrastructure, but then MTS picking up ops and realizing that it was mostly used as a fwy express and running fwy-express-ish headways 060

Transit adventures! 🚌 ✨ Take MTS route 84 to the Cabrillo National Monument stop, right inside the park gate, to explore the old Point Loma lighthouse and get beautiful views of the San Diego Bay and the ocean. And...of course...track your bus on Catenary! 131
Samuel @samuelsharp.com · 31/07/2025They are new CNG Xcelsiors to replace the 600/700 series of buses headed to LA Metro! Here's one at IAD a few weeks ago, just before they went into service. 010

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

Samuel @samuelsharp.com · 21/01/2025Thinking about the MLK Jr. K Line station today: one of the first transit projects I got to explore on my own, and such a meaningful community space.

Samuel @samuelsharp.com · 29/12/2024The Rural routes are long, but there's so much to see along them. From the sprawling canyons along SR-94 to the small-town post offices and the tall trees of Cleveland National Forest, I don't think anything has given me more love for my region since my first time on NCTD's 101. 150
Samuel @samuelsharp.com · 29/12/2024Earlier this week I went to the easternmost point that MTS serves on every weekday - Campo, California! Specifically, I tried the only way to day-trip a full Rural line from SD without doubling back: routes 894 & 888. (more pics in thread, 1/4) 1154
