NFL Draft was a huge success for transit, from local ridership numbers to SMART shuttle buses. Will we get to see more late night service to support popular events? the last FAST SMART is only 11pm @DetroitTransit#StateOfTransit
2024 saw Detroit's first bus dedicated bus lane on Michigan Ave proposed and then removed without a word from any transit providers or RTA. Will 2025 see providers be involved in infrastructure projects that could benefit them?

huge demand for transit tonight, Noel Night and a Redwings game, but regular schedule from @RTAmichigan. They pulled out all the stops for NFL draft shuttles, then back to regular schedule. demand is there, proven people will ride. What are you waiting for?
Why do most car drivers expect bicycles to pull over and let them by, and how do you plan on correcting this? I am tired of being honked at, yelled at, and close passed on roads.

Today the young man driving this SUV with his mom honked at me twice. When confronted he said because I was on a bicycle I needed to "get out of the center of the lane so I can go around". Clearly he thinks crossing a double yellow line to pass a moving vehicle is correct
I would love to go one week without thinking I am about to be run over by a car @MDOT_MetroDet but the statistics and infrastructure are not in my favor
