You don't have to be a #TransitCat to have an if-I-fits-I-sits feeling.💜
Really like this seat at the end of the car on the new Red Line trains on the T. Makes me feel like a cat who found a box to sit in.

A driver hit an elementary school student with a car, 500 ft from Tulip Grove ES in Bowie, after school. The crosswalks at the intersection are unmarked. The principal asked parents to "discuss safety precautions with [their] child" & reminded "all families to please drive slowly & carefully."

A bonus double #TransitDog of the day on the scary NYC subway.💜
You bet. These two scary creatures were on my train today. (They’re supposed to be in a basket but weren’t. Pretty docile, though.

Austin, the bonus #TransitDog of the day, loves the views of London from the upstairs of an iconic double-decker bus.💜
Confronting a cat. Austin ran away while barking very quietly as he retreated to emphasise his courage. Also we travelled upstairs in a Routemaster Bus for the first time and he loved the views.

The #TransitDog of the day just got pet by someone transporting a whole entire couch, with a vase of flowers, on a bicycle.

The number of UMD students recently asking us
if it's against the law to cross on DON'T WALK at Campus Dr/Regents Dr
where campus police are waiting between classes to issue citations
while a gazillion people are clumped up waiting to cross
is >1.

It is not clear whether the 🚷 sign has any legal effect -- that is, does the sign make it illegal to cross at this unmarked crosswalk?
The title of this photo is
"A Person Crossing From The Bus Stop To The Outlet Mall,
Where There Is A 🚷 Sign,
Because A Project Engineer Couldn't Make A High-Speed Multi-Lane Roundabout Safe For Pedestrians,
And The Outlet Mall Said NO To A Bus Stop."

I'm interested to know how many of these crashes are in places where - as @mcdotnow.bsky.social Traffic Chief Michael Paylor says - "the best use of the county’s resources is not to do anything here"? bethesdamagazine.com/2025/11/19/e...

A female Western Gull was recorded riding 150km in a garbage truck from San Francisco to a compost facility in Central CA, probably to forage. TWICE. An innovator, an icon, a genius.
