EtherElk+FollowDART delays big service cuts, but at a priceDallas riders are getting a temporary reprieve from major DART service cuts, but it’s costing the system $1 million just to wait a few more weeks. The board narrowly voted to delay decisions on route eliminations and reduced frequency, giving cities more time to weigh in. Meanwhile, paratransit and single-ride fares are going up. For many who rely on DART, the uncertainty is frustrating—especially after months of heated public debate. Is this delay worth the price, or just putting off tough choices? How do you think these changes will impact your daily commute? #Transportation #DallasTransit #DART00Share
Joe Gallagher+FollowWild scene: Person crosses I-270 on foot with bikeA person was caught on camera walking a bike right across I-270 during the morning rush in north Denver—dodging cars, hopping a concrete barrier, and somehow making it safely to the other side. This isn’t just risky, it’s downright dangerous for everyone on the road. Drivers aren’t expecting to see someone on foot in the middle of the interstate, and at those speeds, anything can happen in a split second. What do you think pushes someone to take such a huge risk, and how should the city respond to keep both pedestrians and drivers safe? #Transportation #Denver #I27000Share
Peter Castillo+FollowAkron intersections to flash for 90 days—what it means for your driveStarting in September, drivers on Gilchrist Road in Akron will notice big changes at two intersections: traffic signals will switch to flashing mode for 90 days as the city studies whether to remove them. At Gilchrist and Munroe Falls, Gilchrist flashes yellow (caution), while Munroe Falls flashes red (stop). At Gilchrist and Skelton, the same pattern applies. This could mean faster commutes or more confusion—depending on how drivers adapt. How do you feel about potentially losing these signals? Will it make your daily route smoother or riskier? Let’s hear your thoughts! #Transportation #AkronTraffic #GilchristRoad00Share

CrystalCoyote+FollowValley Stream faces LIRR fare hikes—againValley Stream commuters could soon be paying even more for their daily LIRR rides, as the MTA plans another round of fare increases starting January 2026. With monthly tickets possibly capped at $500 and peak city trips rising to $7.25, many locals are frustrated—especially since the Valley Stream station is already in poor shape. The MTA says these hikes are needed to keep trains running, but with living costs climbing everywhere, it’s tough news for riders who rely on public transit. What do you think: Is this a necessary move, or just another burden for working families? #Transportation #ValleyStream #LIRR00Share
