another thing is the cognitive load of planning transit trips around low frequencies. when it's as hard as this usually is in north america, you can't play with your routine, you have little room for error or adjustment in your trip. transit funding desperately needs someone loud to stick up for it!
Transit's main competition is cars. If you raise fares from $2.50 to $3, you're still way more affordable than driving. But if you cut the bus from every 15 to every 20, you're screwed because cars have infinity frequency and 24 hr service span.
I hate that we’re having to think in these terms, but the evidence seems to be bearing out that steep fare hikes are less damaging to ridership than service cuts.

So much of the issues related to transit governance is downstream from the fact that both the boards of these agencies and many of advocates in this space believe that transit is a welfare program that acts as “transportation of last resort” as opposed to a viable, affordable alternative to cars.
The equity case for infrequent buses at low fares only makes sense if you believe low income people’s time has no value or that they don’t value their time.
Every transit professional knows this, but equity

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan…
* Vehicle traffic: -11%
* Foot traffic: +3.4%
* Storefront vacancy: -0.9%
* Pollution: -22%
* Revenue for mass transit: $548M
So YES this has been a huge success.

If you define yourself as "anti-imperialist" you have to clutch at straws to defend one of the most blatant imperial land grabs of the 21st century.

I don’t know man, the fact that 30yrs worth of decreased road deaths have been obliterated with no real change in infra I’m left to conclude it’s 100% because drivers have declared war on humanity.

yeah, also maybe we could get better pedestrian protections out of it, if sidewalks are increasingly used not just by humans but by corporate assets. always in favour of more sidewalk use
I’m sorry but if “delivering food” isn’t the kind of job that robots are allowed to take then what is the point of even inventing robots
Just as you thought food delivery companies couldn't inflict any more misery on society:
Instead of using lowly-paid gig economy contractors to deliver groceries, they're replacing humans with robots, who, in turn, force humans off the pavement into road traffic.

Trump of course doesn't think complex enough thoughts to be thinking this himself but what I think a lot of people in his circle hate about Ukraine is the same thing that Putin does: that it represents the Maidan. That its people did in fact overthrow a corrupt tyrant. That they would do so again
