That does seem incredible! We are also in the works to do a mini Walkupy to
draw attention that many of the new riciulously tolled roadway/tunnel
projects completely neglect pedestrians and bicyclists.

them out of sight of the tourists is a major concern for the 1%. For
instance, you can be kicked off the bus for sleeping, or for "appearing
homeless" (this vague definition was provided by a driver). As a result,
many of the homeless and poverty-stricken don't even try getting on the
buses. They know they'll be messed with.

down one of the major thoroughfares in town, picking up anyone who needs a
ride and serving them food & water while taking them where they need to go.
There will be brief teach-ins, printed propaganda for them to read, lively
discussions, and we're hoping to get an ATU driver onboard to talk about
the union's issues as well. The idea is to give our passengers the most
interesting and enjoyable bus ride of their lives, while educating them on
Occupy and Transit issues.

want to do something similar.
