Had to take a bus from Terminal 2F to Terminal 2G at CDG to board from a bus gate that took us to our plane… which was parked at a jet bridge at Terminal 2F. Astounded by the inefficiency of the French.

I have been saying since February that major media are 100% devoted to But Her Emails 2, but I didnt imagine it would get this bad. The day after SCOTUS stops the law applying to Trump, we have to scroll thru 4 fucking top stories on “Biden old” & an ad before getting to anything on SCOTUS decision

It's even worse here because BOTH sides of this intersection have a slip lane! There's no way to create a design here that's safe and convenient without some major engineering changes.

If they lower the fee to 5 or 8 bucks or something, it won’t reduce congestion and that will doom it to failure not just here but everywhere. People will point to New York and say, “It didn’t even work there!”

Funny how the Port Authority justifies Airtrain fare hikes each year by saying they're mandated by inflationary increases, but then can just magically cut fares in half for the summer. It's almost as if this completely unaccountable agency that shrouds everything they do in secrecy is lying to us.

This is fairly normal! If you have flexibility in your plans, changes are free. If you don’t, buckle in for a wild ride that’s entirely weather-related and mostly out of the airline’s control.

Rather than move Uber/Lyft pickups to an Airtrain station like Lefferts Blvd., JFK Airport is shuttling people by bus to a parking lot, guaranteeing that the buses will be stuck in traffic. I'm begging anyone at the Port Authority to even attempt to rub two brain cells together.

Sharing for the broader audience, because it’s really infuriating when breweries you love just turn a cold shoulder to people who don’t own cars, especially when catering to drivers for a beer fest is downright irresponsible!

Oh no, it was really just an example of how the lack of investment in the MTA in the 70s-80s continues to have consequences today!

If Kathy Hochul is so proud of canceling Congestion Pricing, why didn’t she even mention it once in her newsletter email to NYC constituents?

This is the Speaker of the Assembly in New York (one of the three most powerful people in the state), saying that he can't do anything to support congestion pricing "other than be on X and complain".

I mean, bringing equipment building in-house is exactly what the MTA should be doing. It cuts costs over using an outside vendor. So would bringing design and construction in house for capital projects, but without a robust capital budget, there's no reason to do that.

New York City Democratic voters are the stupidest motherfuckers on the face of the earth. Incredible that 1,405 people in Queens were willing to vote for a convicted domestic offender and Federally-imprisoned corrupt felon to make this primary even close.

Well, for one thing, many parts of the NYC Subway still run on the same signal systems that they ran on 70 years ago, forcing the agency to build its own replacement parts since the manufacturers no longer exist.
