Things you can procure in the Sao Paulo metro. You can rent an umbrella for 24 hours. You can also purchase PrEP pills.
The SP metro does a great job with markets and stands and vending machines, making valuable products available to riders. #wmata could learn from SP.

Sao Paulo has lots of streeteries, at least in my part of Jardins. Pretty sure Cidade de São Paulo isn't extorting these business owners because drivers are crying about less convenient parking

Finally arrived in Sao Paulo! Looking forward to an exciting week in one of the world's great cities.
Struggling to understand why so much documentation is required for a simple currency exchange. Need real passport, need to register, need to provide my phone # and location. Why?

Really nice to see these new bagged stop lights at 16 and Spring Pl NW, though I think they have been here months. This is one of the most dangerous intersections in the city for pedestrians.
@brianneknadeau.bsky.social, do you know when these are to become operational?

This is fantastic news. Someone wants to build apartments at 3700 14th NW, the NW corner of the 14/Spring intersection.
The current parcel is the old decrepit Carolina restaurant that has been closed for nearly 13 yrs @popville.bsky.social

Does anyone know if WMATA riders are allowed to cut through the parking lot at IAD when leaving the station? Or do they have to walk around it as shown on WMATA's trip planner?

These are some amazing @wmatagm.bsky.social headways on the Silver Line. 15 min until two Ashburn trains arriving in a minute of each other. Headway incompetence is a Randy hallmark.
Randy for mayor!

Staring down the barrel of a 30 minute headway on 14th St NW at 7 am. Better Bus has been an abysmal failure. @wmatagm.bsky.social deserves to be fired for screwing over bus riders.

Saw one of these in College Park last night. Not a bad idea. Why don't we see more of these in the metro area? @actfortransit.bsky.social

@wmatagm.bsky.social I'm on bus 2925. This is conveniently nowhere to be found in BusETA. Your inattention to the bus system here has really ruined its service. You should resign so WMATA can hire someone who pretends to give a shit about bus service.

Hey @wmatagm.bsky.social, we're supposed to have D50 buses every 15 minutes this early in the morning. Our current service?
No buses for 40 minutes. This is completely unacceptable.
