Pete #Buttigieg celebrates Chatham's Uber-like #transit options #microtransit

..."Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg is in Savannah honoring innovation with leaders at Chatham Area Transit.

“This is a community experiencing a lot of growth. People here deserve access to good transit, too,” Buttigieg told WJCL 22. “What the local transit agency is doing is really innovative and using new technology.”

Buttigieg is celebrating success in what's called "micro transit." Think about it like a public Uber; there is no route, it goes where you need to.

..."“For those who are planning to fly. I want to emphasize that in the last two years, we've dramatically expanded passenger protections,” U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg recently shared in a one-on-one interview with Travel + Leisure. "If you do have a problem after the fact you can use that website to reach out to us with a complaint.

“Remember that the most important thing isn't to get there first, it's to get there safely,” Sec. Buttigieg said, who also spoke with T+L regarding the announcement of the high-speed train project that will connect Los Angeles and Las Vegas.

American Chernobyl is not worth mentioning by fhe fake environmentalist "liberal" minister

It's like a bad copy of USSR under the first days of #Chernobyl, but 3 weeks after the worst environmental disaster in IS modern history, the right wing media and those who caused the relaxed regulations and anti union legislation are winning the propaganda war against the stupid and somehow criminal Biden administration.

It's just unbelievable how badly they are handling this and how united and agressive are the right wing trolls to put the blame of the disaster caused by Trump and conservatives changes in safety requirements for hazardous material transport and outdated, unsafe and faulty private train transport in the US.
