Today is a day that highlights the absolute necessity of Springfield's bus stops. This crucial, yet often overlooked aspect of our public transit system really deserves more care and attention than it is given. Let's explore how we could improve Springfield's bus stops:
Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control, we are going to have to postpone the planned June 27 rally. We will announce an alternate date very soon. Thank you all for understanding and hope to see you at the rally when it does happen!
The very least SGF workers deserve is safe, efficient, and free transportation to work. They aren't paid for that commute time, despite it being a necessity to earn a living - we should ensure that this is not a barrier to employment for anyone.
Let's get out there on the 27th and flex some worker power. We can win fare free, expanded public transit for the workers and poor people of Springfield - we simply have to show up and show out, standing in solidarity together.
This campaign is made by working class folks who wanted to show our community that by standing in solidarity with one another we can demand a better future! We applaud the workers of 631 South Glenstone's Starbucks for stepping forward in the same spirit as this campaign!
Rally will commence at 5:00pm at Historic City Hall on June 27. City Council members will be meeting at 6:30pm, at which point we will have speakers from the Fare Free SGF campaign address City Council directly about the need for fare free, expanded public transit.
Are you fed up with a public transit system that only does the bare minimum? Are you tired of a city government that bends to the will of the Chamber of Commerce while giving nothing to the average, working people?
It's time we demand better
It's time we demand that our city government provide something more than the bare minimum of social infrastructure. Especially facing down sharply spiking gas prices and climate catastrophe, we must make Springfield a more livable city for EVERYONE, not just the wealthy.
Itโs about time the city looked into what could genuinely benefit its people. Letโs keep the pressure up until we win fare free, expanded public transit for Springfield! #farefree#sgf#springfield#publictransportation
In light of the continuing trend of pedestrian injuries and fatalities in Springfield, we want to take a moment and shed light on one of many ways we can alleviate this problem and make our city safer.

I know some of y'all are probably the types that actually enjoy driving. I personally don't get it, but hey - I'm just one guy. However, hopefully you can still see the benefits of expanding the buses for everyone with the help of this thread.
