Wait times for buses on Michigan Ave. they could get MUCH worse. You know who is on these buses? Nurses wearing scrubs about to go to work at Northwestern. If transit goes over the fiscal cliff how will staff at hospitals get to work? Fix it. Fund it. #savetransit
I just found out that if we get this rental in Pittsburgh, the bus line that is easiest to walk to is at risk of being eliminated by proposed service cuts. Just as I was excited about moving to a transit accessible neighborhood, the happiness is fading.

Yes and in a few weeks in the Philadelphia region we will have public transit so decimated as to be practically useless. #savetransit #saveSEPTA #PAsenate
🚨 SEPTA is facing a $213 million budget crisis. With nothing left to cut but service. Without permanent funding, these cuts will gut our transit system. Tell Republican State lawmakers to #SaveTransit or SEPTA and across the Commonwealth!
A human pup is standing sideways and giving a thumbs-up gesture. They are wearing a matte black neoprene puppy hood with upright, pointy ears on top. The doggo is dressed in a dark navy blazer with distinctive suede elbow patches and a beige shirt buttoned up underneath. The blazer has a single-breasted style and flap pockets, and the elbow patches are a chestnut brown color. In the background, there is a wall-mounted installation that features preserved green moss and assorted plant textures, adding an organic element to the scene. Various papers, informational placards, and a model of the El train system are pinned to the adjacent wall. The setting is indoors and gives a professional yet creative vibe. #savecta #savepublictransit #savemetra #savepace #saveourtransit #transitishhmanrights #transitrights #pupplay #puppyplay #humanpup #humandog #LGBTQ+ #Chicago #gay #publictransit
Love our transit in Chicagoland! So many locals and visitors—tourists, commuters, folx w/disabilities… depend on #CTA #Metra #PACE daily.
We’re facing a draconian cut that will undermine every aspect of Chicago and IL’s vitality. Call your state rep!

Hey @govpritzker.illinois.gov IL transit needs to be funded. It’s a travesty that the legislature let the spring session close w/o a plan for the financial cliff
The RTA is asking for $1.5B. You could pull a #BobbyNewport and fund transit

Hey so I'm the one planning this so it'd be cool if you could come!
We're going to be raising awareness to commuters at Oak Park Metra/Harlem/Lake Green Line.

Couldn’t attend the #SaveTransit rally today because I had to work… that I took transit to get to.
Thousands of Chicagoans take transit every day, whether to work, shop, dine, socialize, or something else. Not funding our transit network would decimate the social and economic fabric of the city.
Lena is wearing a shirt with a train logo on it, sunglasses, and a hat. She’s holding a sign that says We NITA Ride, Save the Bus, which is a play on words because the new regional transit agency would be the Northern Illinois Transit Authority and the acronym sounds like “need a”
A group of People’s Lobby advocates joins Illinois Senators Ram Villivalam and Graciela Guzman for a photo, smiling, with signs saying Transit is Essential and Public Transit is a Climate Solution

This is a turning point for transit in our region. If we don’t act, service cuts will hit our communities hard — and they’ll hit soon.
Let’s: speak up, be seen and protect public transit. #SaveTransit #FundPRT #PublicTransitMatters #PittsburghTransit #TransitJustice
Hello, my suburban Philly people (and any Pennsylvanians who live in red districts), this is a very clear, readable explainer about the #SEPTAcrisis . Please share! #saveSEPTA #savetransit #publictransit
Ask your GOP legislator to stop starving public transit.
First @septaphilly.bsky.social, now @chicagocta.bsky.social?

Trump’s recalcitrance to equality isn’t exclusive. It’s overreaching, broad and grotesque. It includes his opposition to mass transit funding. It’s not new. But this time it’s worse. Don’t believe me? Ask Metra, the CTA, Pace, SEPTA, MTA, MBTA, Tri-Rail and NJ Transit. #SaveTransit
🚨 Metro Vancouver transit is in crisis! 🚨
TransLink faces a $600M deficit—bus service could be cut in HALF. Federal funding won’t cover operating costs, leaving riders stranded.

A poll found 54% of Bay Area voters support a transit tax, but it falls short of the two-thirds needed. Lawmakers seek funding to prevent service cuts and improve transit.

With our CARES funding exhausted last week, @sfmta_muni is now burning its reserves to meet payroll, while continuing to scale back many services #SaveTransit
Without emergency funding, transit agencies across the country will be forced to cut service this year. Millions of riders who rely on transit will be stuck in place.
Congress needs to step up and #SaveTransit
