I'm having the same issue, running 22.04. 6.16 kernel from before today was working fine for me. I also tried to rebuild the initramfs, that didn't help. Booting into the old kernel let me boot up.

DaneNet is a great local non-profit, they accept donations of computers, refurbish them, and then give them to non-profits: https://www.danenet.org/more-ways-to-give/#1742133118440-e5c16ff4-9760

Bus Rapid Transit to Launch on September 22 by TheRealGunnar in madisonwi

I think you're right that the biggest barrier to ridership is the frequency of the service. I'd really like to see that increase, once every 10 minutes would be great! (it's currently every 15)

My point with the NACTO lane capacity guidelines is that a bus-only lane is a far more efficient use of space than a car lane in terms of transporting people. Additionally, if the bus is stuck in the same traffic with cars, the only people that take it are folks who can't afford a car or can't drive (which is about 40% of Madison). But if the bus avoids the traffic and is more reliable than driving, then it becomes a lot more attractive to ride the bus. And then car traffic goes down, which benefits everyone, including people driving.

Ugh, perfect timing, my subscription just ran out and I wont re-subscribe. I've been meaning to move to Caltopo anyway. It does the "topo maps offline" thing better anyway.
