Embracing all sustainable modes of transport and the human ability to adapt and evolve.

[0mnimodus @0mnimodus1]

One of the many benefits of omnimodus transport is what you stumble upon: the new that you smell, hear, or see because you are not sealed in a car from origin to destination.

TŌNO COFFEE PROJECT is a perfect example: a great new popup in Palo Alto for superb coffee.

"In general, roads are still car-first, with other modes of transit an afterthought. When it comes to cutting transportation emissions, it’s not enough to shift consumer behavior. American cities also need to make it easier for people to ditch their cars.

Palo Alto shoppers/diners and the pandemic have revealed a generational chance for the city to have a grand commercial plaza to which many flock to feel safe while they dine and relax.

Cars whizzing past parklets and contrived malls fail by comparison. #FreedomFromCars

Took the 188 bus from Azusa to LaVerne (aka way out of town) (43 mins) for a buck.)

Biked from Burbank airport to the Buena Vista and Alameda (16 mins) to catch the 501 bus to Pasadena (45 mins) for FREE!

Surfed the web from Burbank to Pasadena, while traffic sat still, for free. @metrolosangeles rules! #bikela #busla

@Caerage just asked an excellent question. Do people really not know that all viruses mutate? Seriously y’all…COVID is doing what all viruses do…adapting and changing. The problem isn’t COVID’s behavior…it’s human behavior. Imagine if humans started wanting to survive as much

Novak Djokovic to Simone Biles: “Without pressure there is no professional sport. If you are aiming to be at the top of the game you better start learning how to DEAL WITH PRESSURE.”

Ummm…

Make it permanent #PaloAlto, and everywhere else for that matter.

America discovering the beauty of central care-free spaces and outdoor dining is one of the great silver linings of the pandemic. #plaza #piazza #place #platz #square

"The short-sighted e-bike crackdown continues."

Dear train operators, ebikes feed demand for your service by flexibly, reliably, and cheaply serving the first and last mile(s) of your passenger's destinations better than a @lyft, @uber, or bus, ever will.

I just traveled 40 miles of outer LA, by transit bus, on a Sunday: from a trailer park in Laverne to an obscure airport terminal in Burbank. Total cost $7. A lot of stops but fewer than I feared and not driving allowed me to work or relax.

Thanks @metrolosangeles & @googlemaps

Baffling anyone wants a return to a "normal" that involved death for you, your pet, or your little loved ones if they stray beyond a few meters of pavement.

Makeshift pedestrian-friendly plazas, the pandemic inspired, have transformed US for the better.

Can’t stop thinking about this fantasy Metro map that someone posted in the D.C. subreddit.

@SFBART If you want riders, simply make trains safe, punctual, clean, frequent, and quiet.

You don't have to look hard to figure out why China is gaining on us so rapidly.

Beijing to Shanghai
- distance: 800 miles
- train time: 4.3 hours

Boston to DC
- distance: 440 miles
- train time: 7 hours

Finally!

"...riders will arrive and depart from the platform closest to Caltrain, all but eliminating the concourse trek between the two rail providers that has long plagued regular commuters...transfer times will also be more synchronized..." #sfbike

For as long as CA has pursued #HighSpeedRail, some have tried to tear it down.

Let’s focus on the big picture:

1. It’s embarrassing & damaging that CA doesn’t have actual statewide rail.

2. For CA’s long-term economic/environmental health, we need this. https://t.co/maiIHjvgZW
