S1E131 - Episode 131: Come On And Take A Free Ride

Not Safe For Wonks

Hey, we're transportationing here!

On one hand, we're talking about the personal health stuff that kept Kennedy out of the booth for a week or two - on the other hand, did you know that bus rides are free in Alburquerque? And that kicks off a fun episode about transportation reform, country club reps on city council who want to roll back this COVID era benefit.

But the good things can't be ignored – this idea started in 2020 and it’s doing so well, it’s here to stay.

We even compare it to places like Glasgow to see how they're doing similar stuff.

Then, we look at how all this bus stuff is helping our planet.

We talk about how Albuquerque is making buses reach more people, even though it’s hard because the city is so spread out. We discuss the cool train that goes from Santa Fe to Belen and how they might make it even better. We also look at a new bus service in Valencia County where you can call a bus for free.

And it’s not just about buses – we chat about how people are taking care of their lawns differently, from letting them grow wild to having 'ugly lawn contests' in Australia. It’s all about how different people are helping the environment in their own way.

So, tune in!
