Friday is the day to see our new bus wrap up close and person at the Frankford Transit Center from 10-1pm. We'll be out, passing out swag, interviewing riders and hearing from our partners at @dvrpc@septaphilly and @muralarts
Come say hi and take home a map!
I spy a new bus wrap.... have you seen it??
We are so excited that this latest design launched in time for Earth Day and will be on the road all month.
The bus is mostly cruising around the northeast, so if you spot it and tag us in a photo, you'll receive a special package in the mail!
Stay tuned for details about our event at Frankford Transportation Center on May 15th from 10-noon...

On Saturday we had our first Spring ride to Tacony Park with 18 participants! We took the 🚌Route 75 from 5th and Wyoming to the Whitacker gateway. It was a lovely ride and we enjoyed empanadas from @ciddianys along the way!
It was a great day!! Highly recommend the annual Birds of a Feather event on Saturday April 25th if you aren't familiar with this park! The @ttfwatershed has amazing guides online for birdwatching, foraging and learning more about the trails before you go!!

Excited to share one more bus stop story from 39th & Walnut. We caught up with @planner.ee by coincidence who runs a TikTok on urban planning under the same name, we hear it's great, check it out!!!
We swapped tips about the best places to go birding from @fopennypackpark Penny Pack on the Delaware to FDR park and of course @johnheinznwr
Loving these coincidences of running into friends and like minded folks as we're out.
Hoping to bring you more stories before the shelter artwork comes down this month.
Stay tuned and get outside while Fall is in full effect!
