Going #carfree is challenging, albeit rewarding, especially in a smaller city like #Pittsburgh. This does a great job of covering the challenges & considerations when making this jump. How to go car-free — or car-light — in Middle America vox.com/future-perfect/23578… via @voxdotcom

From @WeatherWorldPSU - Pittsburgh just had their "clearest" (~sunniest) period on record.

Yes, and this is (likely) why airlines are doing this. But not all single passengers are flying on the company’s dime. They’re also solo leisure travelers, couples flying separately, friends going on group trips, family members flying to attend an emergency, and more. This is a blunt instrument.
Traveling solo is a good indication of business travel, and airlines have always tried to find ways to charge business travelers more.

With all the excitement with PRT's Bus Line Refresh, we missed Mid Mon Valley Transit's proposed new system at midmonmoves.com! They seem to be using the same Remix software that PRT is using as well. I do have concerns with their proposals, primarily the frequencies – at Pittsburgh, PA

I almost love this, but how could they leave off the amazing ACS-64s that rule the Northeast Corridor?! – at McKees Rocks, PA
Rail ones will understand. This week only, purchase our limited edition Amtrak All-Star Trak Tee. Preorder ends on Halloween, so be sure to cop before trick or treating. 🎃

I didn't realize Youngstown and Akron had Amtrak service until so recently. I figured they would be difficult to serve again, though it does appear that this train didn't stop at Cleveland which is quite unfortunate – at Pittsburgh, PA
One of the most recent Amtrak lines to be defunded and shut down, the Three Rivers used to carry people from NYC to Chicago via Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Akron until 2005. Nappanee, Fostoria, Akron and Youngstown no longer have train service.

I definitely need to get a bike out yo the East and check out these Bucks County trails! – at Pittsburgh, PA
Enjoy Bucks County trails and parks! Trails are transportation options, too! Walking & biking trails can improve mobility, reduce traffic congestion, and provide more choices for getting around! youtu.be/Jmnh_mx9fkw?si=rXTy… @511PAPhilly | @BucksCountyPark

When will Ross Township start to take pedestrian safety seriously? This is not the first time this has happened... Clearly the barriers aren't helping! "Man, 29, in critical condition after being hit by vehicle on McKnight Road in Ross" triblive.com/local/north-hil… – at Reserve Township, PA

How's this for happenstance, on a whim I was looking around the other day for pictures of Amtrak at Philly International, and thanks to recording of a presentation at the West Jersey Chapter of the NRHS, there I go...

Congratulations to Miami for the MIA Northeast Corridor - not to be confused with Amtrak's NEC 😀 – at Pittsburgh, PA

I'm well overdue for a trip back to Buffalo. Preferably when it's warmer, unlike when I went in February last time 😅 – at Millvale, PA
Just a refresher that this account does not engage in any measure of rankings, cage matches, bashing, etc between cities, often geared for engagement farming. All cities can be improved and many have such a long way to go. And preferences are fine & real. But no places are bad.🌇

I wish it was easier and cheaper to get out there via transit. Fullington Trailways is direct from PGH, but a ticket there costs $118 each way!
