Every time I take the @amtrak.com bus from OUTSIDE the @transitcentersf.bsky.social and drive around Soma for 10 to 15 minutes rather than using the center’s direct on-ramp to the Bay Bridge I am reminded of just how much we need @seamlessbayareaca.bsky.social to get things fixed!

@bart.gov I want to use the bikeeep racks at 24th mission but unfortunately couldn’t get either the app to work or my Clipper (apple wallet) to open the lock. Am I doing something wrong or is it only workable with a plastic clipper card that no one anymore?

I haven't looked too carefully into CA's billionaire tax proposal, and obviously I support taxing billionaires more. But this also feels like another round in the constant scramble to compensate for the fact that we can't tax property like a normal state.

Amazing results in New York remind me how disappointing it is that congestion pricing efforts have stalled in San Francisco. With congestion pricing, Muni service could be robustly funded, transit ridership would climb, and traffic through much of the Bay Area would significantly decrease.

Have to get from LAX to UCLA and decided to take the Culver City 6 bus. What a mistake. The bus is supposed to be here every 15 minutes on Saturday. There are five busses working the line today. It takes an hour from end to end… yeah, that’s not gonna hit your scheduled headways. SMDH.

Look at the difference between NorCal and SoCal. In the Bay, out of the 11 Senators repping urban areas, 8 voted yes. In LA County, out of 13 Senators only 4 voted yes. The LA delegation is killing housing bills.

I'm endlessly kind of baffled by the lack of urgency on housing California. This is the state's number one problem—a crisis so bad that's imperiling national Democratic ambitions. And all we can pass are heavily compromised bills that take effect in like five years, if ever.

Now that we've won JFK Promenade and Great Walkway, may I suggest the next fight be tearing down the 280 stub north of 101? It would reconnect neighborhoods, improve walkability and save $100s of millions to rebuild the dumb thing as part of the Caltrain downtown extension.
