No kindness is too small to celebrate, so tell us a tiny kind act you noticed today.
Here’s one to get you started:
“I helped a man who was struggling to tap out at the station.”

This is super cool, the Washington State Ferries posted this today on their various social accounts:
"The M/V Tacoma was recently taken out of service due to a stern tube seal issue. Thurs. (1/8), Global Diving installed an underwater habitat on the vessel. It was sealed to the hull & around the propulsion shaft. By pressurizing the habitat w/ air, crews removed water from the area.
This created a dry repair environment. It allows repairs to be made to the damaged seal w/o requiring the vessel to be dry-docked. Global Diving is working in coordination w/ our maintenance teams to complete repairs & return Tacoma to service as safely & quickly as possible."
Really clever. Wouldn't want to be the one working in there myself, but each to their own.

@troberts oh! Maybe the bridge closure could have been our opportunity to have a ferry system!
Bus, Tram, Ferry!
If I were running #Canberra ...
I'd have a fleet of paddleboats so that workers in the parliamentary triangle could paddle across Lake Burley Griffin from Civic, whilst the main Commonwealth Avenue Bridge is having work done to it.

On the bus to work and I think this might actually be my first time on the new electric buses. It’s super quiet. Otherwise the same as the old bus, but it’s amazing how much calmer it feels in a quieter bus.

I actually happen to have tried Cartes somewhat recently, having been linked there from somewhere on Fedi, and found the stop view, with each line having a timeline with ticks marking departure times particularly interesting and original. One of the most compact tools for assessing bus headways I've seen:
(Now, for anyone interested, they do only support places in France right now)
Public Transport Odin: very crowded Dutch train filled with foreign children on winter vacation edition
He’s snoozing in the aisle between people’s legs, there’s no room anywhere else. There’s another dog in this cabin shoved under a seat. #dog #dogs #dogsofmastodon #trains #publictransport
Melbourne's first level platform tram 'superstop' was built on Collins Street at Swanston Street in 2001.
Unfortunately the south-west and north-west ends of the stop were not built with pedestrian crossings.
24 years later this has finally been fixed with this zebra crossing that gives priority to people crossing.
