Even this framing from PSA sounds deranged, there is no worthy ādebateā over trans rights. Trans people deserve full rights and equal protections and freedom under the law full stop. There is no reasonable other āsideā on this issue.

picking nits, but Sunday ridership is much lower than M-F, hence the 10k/18.8k discrepancy
Spencer Sharpe (@jspencersharpe.bsky.social) reply parent
5%? I believe they pay 100%
Spencer Sharpe (@jspencersharpe.bsky.social) reply parent
my understanding is the Titans pay for the entirety of ridership for a Sunday across the entire network. I believe this usually averages ~10k. Unsure of the NSC deal.

Spencer Sharpe (@jspencersharpe.bsky.social)
Pizza Monday east side edition at Strega. 1405 Gallatin Ave. 6ish to whenever. $1 (!) slices of pizza til 7. $5 Gelato. Right off the 56 bus. All are welcome!
Chris Bowe (@cbowe34.bsky.social) reposted
Worth repeating that this is Nashvilleās HIGHEST RIDERSHIP bus route. It is not like some far flung suburban connector. We are wasting huge amounts of time and money by delaying bus lanes in downtown. #paintthetownred

The 56 from 5 points to Eastland at rush hour could be fun tho š

i was expecting them to beat me, but i didn't expect they would also catch up with the bus 15 minutes ahead of me and pass it too! how long will we have to wait to see the short term quick build improvements from Connect Downtown and CHYM actually implemented?

The most fun Iāve had being upset about something. While I got to sit and have a beer with a friend, many on the bus were just trying to get home after a long day of keeping this city running. Somebody should really do something about this.

We won. Watch me and @neilkornutick.bsky.social race the 55 in downtown Nashville on a Saturday night

Checked out the new bar in the neighborhood tonight. We walked there, and watched dozens of other neighbors do the same. The street design doesnāt encourage it, but itās heartening to watch people just do it anyway. People want to walk to a place to see their neighbors!
