A fairly random transit link. One of the political bloggers at TheAtlantic.com has a 60 minute podcast discussing federal transportation funding with one of the members of the National Surface Transportation Policy and Revenue Study Commission, who also happens to be her father.

Boo to gendered transit. BOO! >:(

when i lived in japan they had a ladies-only car during rush hour on the subways. and in those cars, they had some mirrors on walls so the ladies could check their makeup

japan is notorious for molesters on the trains. people see it and do nothing to stop it.

i never saw any touchers, but i saw TONS of guys openly and calmly “reading” illustrated pr0n0 on the trains.

classic
