I am currently taking a train with an E-bike to attend an Urban Transportation Commission meeting, in a building that used to be a parking lot of an abandoned mall.
Have I achieved peak urbanism?
@Benjleffler agree, don't let perfect be the enemy of good. congrats to Council & new urban activists on convincing Kirk Watson to flip on the issue. Share Neenz concerns about displacement. Kirk quickly figured out how to solve for greek houses in W Campus, hope he'll use same energy here.
Can anyone explain why @CapMetroATX has two or sometimes three 801s come by Austin History Center within a minute of each other? And also why any rider should believe the displays at the stops? They are always wrong. Lol.
This guy gets it. All transit projects are good and you should never let perfect be the enemy of good. Consultants are the most important people in our economy and we must never question their fidelity or incentives. Thanks for your support. ^JC
As usual, transit trolls like Calan Pritchardo underestimate the awesome power of #branding . It’s the most important job we have here at Capital Rapid Area Planning!
I was just talking with a friend and colleague this afternoon about problems with @CapMetroATX bus reliability. The very next bus I went to take is a no-show or > 5 minutes late!
#10 NB due 4:32pm from Stop ID 5669
@dustinjkim If these people want us ‘twitter experts’ to dismiss the ‘conspiracy theories’ that Kirk and his people are trying to kill the rail project, they have to do far better than JMVC-level dishonesty.
@spencerthegr8 @CapMetroATX@CapMetroCEO if anybody follows up and checks ridership numbers please remember that many of the parts of your tweet will be inaccurate
@spencerthegr8 @CapMetroATX@CapMetroCEO Dear sponsor:
We can’t run MetroRapid service without the awesome power of #branding. That’s why the 801 and 803 resulted in skyrocketing ridership compared to the stupid locals and limited they replaced!

Jim Rambone finally comes out in favor of the best rail plan ever; including the Sears Tunnel we all know we need and that the transit trolls took from us.
another way of saying this is save your respectability politics for people that respect you. the Texas Republican caucus comes to work every day thinking about how they can make everyone in Austin’s life worse, they do not respect you.
