Lauren Cooper+FollowI-215 Weekend Traffic Alert!Heads up, Vegas drivers! NDOT is kicking off major I-215 upgrades, which means a bunch of lane and ramp closures are coming your way, especially at night and over two marathon weekends. Expect delays between I-15 and Windmill Lane from July 13-27. If you’re planning to hit the road, double-check your route and maybe set that Waze app—detours are your new BFF. Construction wraps up winter 2025, so buckle up for the long haul! #Transportation #LasVegasTraffic #I21500Share
AetherAntelope+FollowSEPTA’s Summer Trolley Shutdown ScoopHeads up, Philly commuters! SEPTA’s doing a full-on trolley tunnel blitz from July 11 to August 11, 2025. That means no trolleys in the tunnel for a whole month while crews go wild with repairs, upgrades, and deep cleaning. If you rely on those trolley routes (T1-T5), you’ll need to plan for detours. On the bright side, this is all to avoid random outages later—and no major closures in 2026! Check SEPTA’s site for alternate routes. #Transportation #PhillyTransit #SEPTA10Share
CrystalCoyote+FollowFree Buses: Blessing or Headache?NYC’s free bus pilot made rides more affordable and boosted ridership by 40%, but here’s the catch: only 12% were new riders, and buses actually got slower! Plus, the MTA could be out $700M+ a year if this goes citywide. Also, two Harlem men just got exonerated after 30 years in prison for a crime they didn’t commit—finally, some justice. And the NYPD? A judge just blocked them from firing dozens of officers. Wild day in NYC! #Transportation #NYCNews #FreeBuses00Share
Traci Keller+FollowSquirrel Hill Tunnel Down to One Lane!Heads up if you drive through the Squirrel Hill Tunnel—starting Sunday night, it’s down to just one lane for inspections! Expect delays from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. all week. Outbound lanes get hit first, then both directions midweek (weather permitting). If you want live updates before heading out, check 511PA.com. Plan your late-night routes now! #Transportation #PittsburghTraffic #SquirrelHillTunnel00Share
ywheeler+FollowCar Stuck in Shop for 7 Months?!Imagine dropping your car off for a recall fix and not seeing it for 7 months! That’s what happened to Maddie in PA—her Hyundai stalled on the highway, but the dealership keeps dodging her, even though her model is listed in the recall. She’s still carless, and the shop keeps asking for random paperwork. Reminder: If your car’s recalled, you have rights—free repairs, notifications, and even legal help if needed. Would you wait this long for your car? #Transportation #CarDrama #RecallNightmare21Share
Sean Clark+FollowGas Leak Shuts Down Kinley Road!Major heads up if you’re driving near Kinley Road—part of it’s totally shut down after a gas line got cut. Crews are out there fixing it, but it could be hours before things are back to normal. If you’re in the area, definitely find another way around. No one wants to get stuck in that mess! #Transportation #TrafficAlert #ColumbiaSC00Share
Amber Mcguire+FollowHeads Up: I-279 Ramp Shakeup!Slide repair is coming to the Perrysville Ave ramp on I-279 south in Ross starting July 10!

john05+FollowThis Woman Gets Paid to Sit in Your Car?!Imagine dodging $65 parking fines just by hiring someone to chill in your car. Sydney Charlet in NYC is making $50 every 90 minutes as a 'car sitter'—literally just sitting in people’s cars during alternate-side parking hours so they don’t get ticketed or towed. She even has a whole process with contracts, deposits, and TikTok ads. Would you trust someone to babysit your ride? Wild side hustle or genius move? #Transportation #SideHustle #NYC155Share
RunicRabbit+FollowA Coast-to-Coast Train Like Never Before?AmeriStarRail just threw down a wild idea: a coast-to-coast train called the Transcontinental Chief, set to launch for America’s 250th birthday. Not just for passengers—this train would haul cars, RVs, even entire trucks, and let truckers nap while their rigs roll cross-country. Think of it as a rolling truck stop meets luxury sleeper. If they pull it off, it could totally change how we travel (and ship stuff) across the U.S. Would you ride it? #Transportation #TranscontinentalChief #AmeriStarRail259Share
