Please note the following:
* All chatrooms are linked together. If you join one room your messages will be copied to the other platforms.
* Matrix is an open source and potentially distributed chat protocol. The matrix room listed is hosted on matrix.org, a somewhat centralized hub for a lot of currently public rooms. Though the protocol itself is free, libre and open source, the deployment of the protocol resembles a centralized service. This may be fixed in the future with the deployment of independent servers.
* Be aware that both Telegram and Discord are centralized proprietary platforms and do not necessarily protect your rights nor privacy while simultaneously giving power to corporations.

“Ridership isn’t there” they say, oblivious to or purposely ignoring the fact that low investment has led to reliability issues and pushed lifelong bus users to alternative options.
I Uber to appointments, work, and basically anything I need to be to on time because it’s almost guaranteed the bus will get me there late. Most of the time I bus home, but the train’s down more often than not, and I refuse to subject myself to the nonsense R1 busses. Wait an hour and five of them show up at once, all full. No thank you.
