Cars and freeways de-socialize the built environment, keeping us all apart.

(That's why billionaires and autocrats love them.)

Transit, bicycles, and active transport re-socialize the built environment, bringing us together.

(That's why billionaires and autocrats detest them.)

new car-free event just dropped!

Castro Art Mart will be on the block of Noe north of Market every first Sunday starting May 4th

Healthy democracy begins where we live, on sidewalks, bike paths, transit lines, and public spaces. When cities are designed for people rather than cars or corporations, they nurture connection, trust, and a sense of shared belonging.

It’s the 10th anniversary of Viva Calle SJ this weekend! Get out and explore some active transportation without worrying about traffic. Reclaim the streets!

“We found robust evidence in support of well-designed and well-implemented behavioural interventions to significantly increase uptake of walking and bike riding.”

Good morning and Go @SFGiants! Headed to the game? #PublicTransit is your best bet.

If Connie Chan is your supervisor please email her and ask for a general fund transfer to Muni to stop the summer cuts! The SFBOS can still do this. Chan is budget chair and so far seemingly blowing off constituents who ask for this. #sfpol

I just posted this at work and it seems like not everyone knows this.

You can take the Amtrak Coast Starlight from Seattle, Portland, Sacramento, Oakland, San Jose or LA in the other direction, to the Monterey Bay aquarium. On Amtrak.com, simply put Monterey Bay Aquarium as your destination and when you arrive in Salinas station at 12:20pm (daily), there will be a bus that waits for you and picks you up to send you to the doors of the Aquarium by 1:30pm (usually takes just 20min)

For a true car-free experience, book a hotel room in New Monterey near the Aquarium, like the Clement Intercontinental, Monterey Plaza, or Wave Street Inn or anything on that side of the tunnel (including Pacific Grove). You can walk / bike the coastal trail.

Rent a bike from Work Horse bicycles downtown.

If you bring your own bike on the train (check in without boxing!) you can put it on MST city bus no 20, the bus station is 5 min ride away. Wait at and have a taco at Tacos Don Beto next door. There is a small outdoor area for Covid cautious folks.

As a technology, San Francisco cable cars may be the most steampunk form of transit left in North America.

Here's Car 25 taking the pull curve at Washington and Powell.

Some years back, I did a tour of surviving trolley and cable car routes in the US...
