@zonk@shitposter.world i love that our state made it legal to bike on sidewalks if the road has no bike lane and the speed limit is over 35mph, but huge chunks of this route "the speed limit is 35mph" but everyone is going at least 50

@zonk@shitposter.world i actually do have a tolerable (illegal) route to downtown i take occasionally im just being stupid and considering a different route because i'm curious if the bus will actually take me across the local impassable bridge for free https://ridecarta.com/route32servicechanges2021/

@zonk@shitposter.world the state removed the sidewalk from this bridge to add another car lane

in the event that bicycle racks are full, this change allows bicycles to be brought on board the bus in-between stops.
apparently they’ve thought of this at least!

@zonk@shitposter.world so apparently they changed the policy without updating the website or the text on the sign and wouldn't let me on the bus because the bike rack was full, despite their being room on the bus

@zonk@shitposter.world emailed the transit authority and the local transit equity non-profit that got the bus authority to set this up in the first place

@shibao @zonk@shitposter.world and just like theme parks, the touristy area is actually very easy to navigate without a car
