NYC / Tear down urban highways / Language lover: EN FR IT PL RU AR DE ES / 🏳️🌈
Currently reading The Snow Leopard (1978, excellent so far) and having one of those moments where you look at your cat like ‘how the hell does this creature live in my apartment’
Pisses me off to NO END that the approach to the Lincoln Tunnel — which must be one of the highest concentrations of buses on a highway anywhere in the world? — doesn’t have a dedicated bus lane Just millions of hours wasted & no incentive to do the right thing here (not bring your private cage)
1 million likes in 2 hours 🤯 The people hunger for clearly-spoken truths. Any national Democrats paying attention?
Thanking the Lord above I’m not the guy whose idea it was to host the World Cup Final here
Loving this one so far and desire to visit Punjab Pakistan rapidly rising
Steady stream of bike and scooter traffic in the new 6 Av double-wide!
New bodega in my neighborhood makes really good sandwiches but it’s taken me several confusing visits to realize the images have NO relationship to the text LOLLL
Begging some eccentric rich person to find a transit-accessible site for something this big in the city!!
Just finished (on a plane) and holy shit I’ve read some bangers this year but this is #1
We love a 13m headway on an automated airport shuttle, don’t we folks?? Great work Port Authority
You could level up the streetscape of Brooklyn 8,000% by replacing these two with tall mixed-use, dying for someone to take a wrecking ball to them already
I actually don’t mind the hulking-brutalist-mass-ness of it all but this part ruins the building for me. War crime against typography. 🤢 A crunched paragraph in InDesign carved into stone for all eternity.
Nothin but love for America’s Downtown, affectionately referred to around the world as The Loop™️
It’s unfathomable how fried your brain has to be to prefer car storage and trash on the sidewalk to this
I love the Knicks and I love the subway but this is like battery acid straight to the face
It’s on Threads, so grain of salt, but hundreds of transit normies here complaining about the loss of weekly/monthly MTA passes & lack of visibility into charges w OMNY And I agree. Fare-capping is great (tho much less so when it’s so hard to keep track of your balance) but WE NEED THE MONTHLY BACK
