@audrey i don't want to post the city i ilive in otherwise i'd share my writeup but yeah honestly public transit is almost entirely paid for with tax dollars and ad revenue
@annebrennan holy shit, really? thats disgusting. this makes me even more mad that they're making that little from the fares yet still insist on them
@audrey yuuuuuup i did these numbers on my local bus service once and it turned out that fares cover less than 7% of operating costs in my city. The state, feds, and local governments could easily split the 7% 3 ways and abolish fares entirely but I guess it's a good thing that fares aren't even an important revenue stream for buses but poor people can be prevented from riding for not having it

Remember how we thought we knew what Pluto looked like, but we actually didn't because we had been working off artists' renditions and some HST smudges? Then, all of a sudden, we had *amazing* high-quality, true color photos of that gorgeous thing with its eerie lack of color and surprise heart? <3
We didn't even know Ultima Thule existed five years ago. Here's what it looks like as I'm going to bed! Tomorrow we'll actually know for real!
So happy to meet this icy rocky planet-stuff baby. \o/
