The future I want: x.com/grescoe/status…
Also, how is grass cut on these track beds? Is it just the train cutting it by operating over it?
@the_transit_guy You’re not gonna get that if you make excuses for crime on the subway.
@the_transit_guy That is the past we once had, unfortunately the same culture that destroyed most of America's urban rail are still running our economy into the ground. Hopefully the future you want will soon return with green grass and slow & easy quiet-running light rail trains everywhere.
@the_transit_guy Who's going to pay for that? I know I won't be!
@the_transit_guy We have this in NOLA, grass and all.
@the_transit_guy Well, you are "the transit guy." 😃 But, look, most American cities suck. And they will continue to suck. So if you want this life, you're going to have to do it elsewhere.
@the_transit_guy Just add fare jumpers and steal half the bikes and you have NYC.
