Carrying bags of groceries and taking public transportation back home is a perfect way to bring your family broken bags cracked eggs melted icecream and squished bananas

- Crazy people actually believe this when public transit is proven to be the safest form of transportation
Replying to @NaqiyNYI'm more likely to be murdered on public transportation than be run over as a pedestrian - A surface parking lot replaced with 800 apartments & a grocery store next to Chicago's busiest subway line, this is the way
- "Elevated railways with a capacity of 40,000 people per hour are being torn down while elevated highways with a capacity of 6,000 per hour are being erected" -Transit Journal, 1935
- Never forget that Reagan ensured no massive modern Metro system like BART or WMATA would be built ever again, and Trump will be just as destructive for transit if elected
- Bikini Bottom has buses every 3 minutes, every city needs transit this good
- Chicago is the greatest city in the world because it's the only one to have the two best grocery stores in the same building in walking distance from the subway
- Upstate New York has the best small city urbanism in the country
- The US had 73,000 miles of electric rail and 16 billion annual riders in 1923, we lost so much in the last 100 years
