Reposted by Kara Transit Authoritykyle tear down that highway lucas 🏳️🌈 @itskylelucas.com · 11hWaymo is not a last-mile solution, nor a transit solution. And most certainly should not benefit from any of the transit funding we won in fighting for NITA. It is a car-centric proposal that offers no real systems change, shares all the same geometry, capacity, and environmental ills of cars. 1521545

Reposted by Kara Transit AuthorityStar:Line Chicago @starlinechicago.bsky.social · 24/09/2026The correct RLE take is as follows: • It’s happening; too late to stop it • It will be transformational for residents of the Far South Side • It costs way too much • It directly negatively impacts the CTA’s ability to do other capital projects • It’s good that NITA is taking over capital planning 2582
Kara Transit Authority @stormykara.bsky.social · 23/09/2026It's been shown that passenger rail isn't a profitable venture. However, that doesn't mean it's not a valuable service. I hope that if Brightline does go under, the infrastructure and established ridership base doesn't go to waste, and we invest in what rail should be (a subsidized public service). 1142
