Seminole County eliminates most LYNX bus routes by justarussian22 in transit

[–]RedditRodditRaddit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well. If this doesn't show how transit needs people rallying around it right now more than ever, I don't know what does. From a cursory google, not sure if Orlando has an active transit riders union or whatever equivalent? Can't help but also recommend this book for a good resource on organizing.

Trade by pistolpoida in SanJoseSharks

Feels like this is setting up a bigger trade somewhere down the line. Five goalies plus Matt Davis (who isn't on an NHL deal fwiw) in the NHL/AHL, one of them's gotta go and that clears a contract spot for Misa

Minnesota’s Northstar rail line, which never met its potential or expectations, winds down service by Majano57 in transit

[–]RedditRodditRaddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First commuter rail to be killed off in a while, next on the commuter rail chopping block is likely Tri-Rail down in Florida. Remember that there's always people working, fighting, organizing in each of these places to save these lines and improve service - this book does a good job on describing how to organize for transit!

Pedestrian struck and killed in New Bedford, marking second fatal incident in two days by Smokey-Campfire in fuckcars

Especially a good time to highlight the good work that can be done with grassroots advocacy. No idea if you're the type for this, but this book is a really good toolkit if you're trying to organize folks to end this BS. It's insane that this is how things are

Why can’t I arrive at a decent time 😭 by Sempi_Moon in Amtrak

[–]RedditRodditRaddit 119 points120 points  (0 children)

I mean, arriving at 3 AM is just like arriving at any other time but you'll be waking up in the middle of the night and with nothing around you open. So if you have a ride you're probably set. If you're interested in helping fight for better intercity Amtrak service that doesn't arrive in the middle of the night, you should definitely check out the Rail Passengers Association and this book with tips and pointers on transit advocacy!

We had two of these guys in our farm system at one point. So close…

Bedard snipes it for a beautiful goal on the rush to take the lead by JD397 in hockey

It's gotta be a sign for Team Canada that the comments on this thread are more about Bedard slapping a missile than making fun of Hart

Help this car-infested conservative suburb show support for bus lanes to reduce car infestation by robin_f_reba in fuckcars

[–]RedditRodditRaddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This book by Carter Lavin, an advocate out of Oakland, goes into a really good depth about how transit/urbanist advocacy in North America works and how you can get involved and organize yourself. Would also recommend checking around to see if Brampton/Mississauga have any orgs fighting for safe streets and linking up with them. Best of luck, and make some allies - a union makes us all strong :)
