Dump the Pump Day

Did you know that today was Dump the Pump Day?  No, I didn’t either until about 3pm.  But a day about raising awareness about Public Transportation couldn’t be more timely than now.  Wired has a great little write-up about it.

Of course, I didn’t know about it because Omaha’s public transportation didn’t participate.  It would have been a good opportunity to raise awareness about the bus system in Omaha and, at least, have given free express rides to the commuters to and from downtown so they can try it out and see what it is like.

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again — too bad Omaha’s city government has no vision for public transportation.
