Higher fares, service cuts and more gloom and doom await commuters from Philadelphia to Chicago to San Francisco if transit agencies can't close a combined $6 billion budget hole in the coming years. My Big Take for @business with @A_W_Gordon bloomberg.com/news/features/…

The downsizing of the Philly transit system is a stark example of the fiscal reckoning that mass transit systems in major US cities -- including Chicago -- are facing, reports @srimtaylor for @business

Philadelphia's largest transit agency, the @SEPTA, voted to approve service cuts of up to 45% and steep fare hikes in a last-ditch effort to stay financially afloat in the upcoming fiscal year. @business bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

NJ Transit is facing a potential strike that could trigger a shut down of it's train service starting May 16. If you're a rider planning alternative ways of getting around or have any thoughts you want to share about the issue, ping me: [email protected] or DM for Signal

Thank you for being brave enough to say it, Justin. It’s not clocking to a lot of people that we’re standing on business, making our city even safer and more affordable every day.

Not everyone on Wall Street is freaking out--Yet with @srimtaylor bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Here's the biggest piece of journalism I’ve worked on in years: An atlas to the Trump family’s moneymaking. It’s all here. And even though it (sometimes) gets overshadowed by politics, it's important and it's vast. And it’s a gift link! bloomberg.com/features/2025-…
