@transittangents.bsky.social great episode on KC transit. As much as it pains me as a life-long STL’n to give KC props on anything, the streetcar is great!! Also, it has the absolute best song written about it. I wish we had something this cool about Metrolink. youtu.be/_Xa_lfMoDqI?...

One of my new favorite podcasts, @transittangents.bsky.social, has a good discussion: 'Light Rail vs. Bus Rapid Transit: Which is Right for Your City?' My opinion is that Los Angeles and Southern California need and have a place for both, and all modalities of #transit.
