if you follow me you know i love the metro. well, i adore it so much it’s on my arm forever. @wmataGM #wmata

Transportation in NYC includes trains, buses, ferries, pedestrian space, and bikes.

In San Antonio, transportation includes a left lane, middle lane, and right lane.

I don’t like the new subway car displays telling you which car/ side of the station you are closest to. Eliminates the knowledge gap between ball knowers and non-ball knowers

[emily kesselman (she/her) @emkess9]

@wmata if the route is going to be detoured for three months, can you please provide a set detour route so that riders can still use the bus at alternate, nearby stops during that time? this really puts a wrench in my commute.

sometimes i just remember that i pay rent and i can sleep on the couch. so i pack my things and go to the couch.

my coworkers were discussing buying homes in northern Virginia. this is incomprehensible. I simply would rather die than live in “chantilly”

bored at work and walking around the office begging directors to give me some like i’m some young depression era boy

[emily kesselman (she/her) @emkess9]

people who live in dc will claim that taking the bus is too complicated and yet these middle aged european tourists are on the C51 with their suitcases fresh out of union station. try harder folks.

tipping the bartender because i might have acted weird and they hated my personality :/

@wmata why are two of the faregates closed at eastern market right now? it’s causing a bit of a bottleneck for commuters.

[emily kesselman (she/her) @emkess9]

@wmata Could you put a notice on the website? It wasn’t clear on busETA.

[emily kesselman (she/her) @emkess9]

a D80 just drove right past me while i was waiting at the corner of Massachusetts and New Jersey NW. The stop is gated off for construction so i waited at the corner to wave them down and was ignored. No effort to stop at the former 33 stop next to it. Please put signage. @wmata

@wmata I was going toward Friendship Heights.
