My regional rail line is getting shut down. This is going to make traffic significantly worse on at least 3 major roads.
Having previously lived in Philly...I remember when my work forbid us from using public transit during the pandemic. Driving in there was awful as sin and it's going to get twice as bad at least because of this. This is insanity.
Have you blamed cyclists and bike lanes, yet? It's all the rage! /s
Society grows ________ when old men burn down trees whose shade no one will ever sit in.
Oh no, the municipalities paying the vast majority of the taxes are using large amounts of the taxes for their infrastructure. What an unjust situation. They're such liberal parasites that don't understand the struggles we go through.
Pretty sure that it's a ploy to get the public to pressure the lawmakers.
if only my local rep gave a single shit about his constituents. I think he started blocking ppl lmao. and he's still gonna win reelection because of the culturally republican yokels
Yeah, it is a "Here is what we have to do with a shortage of funding."
I can't see this going well, especially with the world cup coming to Philly
To be fair I don't see the upcoming World Cup going well at all for the US. LA tried really hard to improve its shitty rail service in time for it too.
