3.7 million of you chose not to ride with us yesterday because you want to #flattenthecurve.
We miss you, but for now, we’ll say: thank you for not riding with us. You’re keeping NYC safer.
@Delta flight to NYC-CDG 3/28-4/5 meets your requirements for a no change fee modification. However, b/c I purchased Basic Economy your website says I cannot change my flight online. When I call, I get a notice stating there is a 6hr wait and am then hung up on. Can someone help?
Dear Transportation, Tech and Media Companies,
Cities need people-friendly mobility options that reclaim streets from the damage caused by cars, not gimmicks that dance around the damage.
Love,

#Paratransit accounts for 50-98% of all passenger trips in sub-Saharan #African cities. But these colorful vehicles often clash with more modern forms of public #transit. Will they adapt to modernizing #cities or be taken off the map? @WRISehirler https://t.co/pOIuRnxmyZ
We’re pledging to prioritize people over vehicles, lower emissions, promote equity and encourage data sharing. Join us & @rmchase at Transforming Transportation 2019, Jan 17&18 for more. https://t.co/4iTcXsmNZJ #TTDC19
Thanks to @humantransit for the inspiring presentation at #ttdc19 which pushed transportation professionals to think critically about the words we choose when discussing, planning, and designing transportation systems.
It's hard to leapfrog when solutions are designed for developed countries first, and then we have to figure out how to adapt them after -- we don’t have the electricians, for example. -- Solomon Kidane Zegeye, Deputy Mayor of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia https://t.co/f9r5HrMi92 #TTDC19
The last mile can't exist without the first mile! The discussion on transport has to start with walking! Alioune Badiane invites Transforming Transportation to Africa to see the challenges and needs. #TTDC19
