I went in circles with an off by one error and brute forced the answer by one thinking about one "click" at a time. Somehow kept ending up off by a handful when trying to use modulo and not enough brain cells left for the year to determine why.

Continues to be appalling that there is no bus express lane on the Bay Bridge. Current TransBay #ACTransit bus is stuck in mixed traffic, is going to take 1.5 hours to do a ~20 min ride. Why do we punish transit riders by making them suffer through single occupancy vehicle traffic?

Now @rideact.bsky.social has two apps on the Paly store. Unclear why they released a new app vs updated the current (which is plagued with issues on Android).

Ok:

1) vibe coding is pretty fun & ridiculous - you make unmaintainable slop super fast

2) @val.town is super fun for making quick & dirty DIY backends

3) @rideact.bsky.social desperately needs to efficiently cache their GTFS/RT data

Oakland, baby

Transit service levels in downtown Oakland on a Friday at rush hour. Maddening levels of dysfunction.

Rush hour on a Friday and this is the bus service level in downtown Oakland connecting around the lake and to popular Fri evening destinations (Grand Lake). Totally useless.

What fresh hell is this? In the Oakland budget survey being sent out - paving and safety upgrades were funded through Measure U - why are they being sent to the choppy block when the general budget is in turmoil?

Timely given this was my treatment for using the bus in downtown Oakland this evening.

It's clear Council lacks a strong grasp of what the day to day experience of transit dependency is like - something that significantly impacts the daily lived experience of residents they purport to advocate for.

Appreciate seeing the bump in #ACTransit TransBay bus service to address crowding issues on some routes. Hoping we can keep adding more service to other lines as well. Ease of use will increase ridership, too.

Appreciate the highlighting of the fact that businesses owners are not a monolith and many readily support right sizing roads for ped and cyclist safety.

This suggests that it is indeed possible?
