- The future already exists!
The future will look like the future - Future generations will be unable to understand how this was deliberately done and then left to them to fix.'Twas the traffic nightmare before Thanksgiving as commuters sat through bumper-to-bumper traffic on the 405 Freeway in LA foxla.com/traffic
00:00 - You think that has power? Meet the real deal. 670,000 lbs with max tractive torque over 26,000 lb-ft. Fully⚡️, moves 1200 people, lasts 40 yrs and helps save the 🌎. #transit
00:38Beats a Porsche 911 while towing a 911 - Tragic news at DCA tonight & our thoughts are with victims. @wmata has sent warming buses to support rescue and we are working to assist @Dulles_Airport w/ diverted flights by running extra Silver Line trains & to keep Silver open later to get people downtown. More info to come
- Yup, it’s a real thing you can try today!
It’s a real thing that you can try today - America’s Transit System giving it 100% on America’s Birthday. Joined my colleagues on platforms to deliver ~2min 🚇 frequency for 90mins to clear thousands of people post 🎆. Just ❤️ this TEAM! Thanks for riding! #wmata
- 👇Another frustrating example of the bias framing about transportation safety. The story, trolley collided w/ a car. Reality, the driver of the car ran a red light and crashed into a trolley! Transit is superior to car safety so let’s hold drivers accountable for their actions.A SEPTA trolley and a car collided early Sunday morning in the city’s Kingsessing neighborhood injuring four people and causing the trolley to derail in yet another mishap involving the transit system. trib.al/G4ACvqnReaders added contextThe collision in question occurred when a car ran a red light and hit the trolley. 6abc.com/septa-car-cras…
- BREAKING: •Yesterday ridership 650k+ combined 🚌🚇; post pandemic high weekend day •418k 🚇 highest weekend day since Nats WS Parade •Highest Pride parade day since 2012 •New post pandemic station high @ McPherson & U Street highest day since 2016 w/ 31,000 customers #wmata
- Great example of why people can’t always believe what they read on twitter. Metro is running normal service. It’s a disservice to the team’s hard work delivering service despite this global IT issue and to customers who rely on the service. Never apologies just faster tweets…
- Reminder that for the 1st time since 2016 your Metro 🚇 system is open until 2am on Friday and Saturday nights (open at 6am Sat/Sun morning too)! Another @wmata investment to better connect and serve our customers and region!
- WOW! 23 years ago today I met a girl on the subway in Boston on my way to a Sox game. Lots of 🚇&🚌 trips later all over the world and she somehow has kept me around. Like I’ve said before, you can’t meet people driving a 🚙. Transit ❤️
