Some bike-on-bus (or is that bus-on-bike) violence here in #CambridgeMA!

(I think the bus was trying to move over in an intersection to make room for something? And then it turned back to continue moving forward? I have no idea what was going on, only that it almost fought the bollard)

One thing about riding a bus on a highway is you get the perfect angle to see drivers using their phones.

We have a serious problem.

Another reason I choose not to drive myself whenever possible.

I don't often take The Ride, but chose not to bike in today. The Packard bike lane did appear to still have snow on it, as I expected. Happily, the windows in the corners of this bus are open, so it's well ventilated. I usually open a window when I get on board. Unfortunately, I'm arriving at BTC 5 minutes after schedule so I'm going to have to kill an hour at Roos until the next D2A2.

My Ann Arbor to Dexter bus route journey today is here

Not an easy commute, but not expensive and definitely worth doing. Dexter is a nice place (library, bakery, trails) where I have friends to visit.

Not having online
rider tools limits this to only the people who want to do their inter-city bus
trips on hard mode.

@bdimcheff millage, and hiring a bunch of drivers, which really means getting new drivers trained up and onboarded in the midst of a national bus driver shortage.

see e.g. TransitCenter report from this summer:

https://transitcenter.org/publication/bus-operators-in-crisis/

"TransitCenter’s new report, “Bus Operators in Crisis,” details the challenges American operators are facing, and offers solutions that transit agencies can take to solve issues locally."

With a Sunday bus schedule like this (hourly only during daylight) you really have to plan your weekend trips.

Looks like a 230p inbound / 515p outbound for me.
