   I made the bold claim that it would be very dorky, as in you wouldn’t see me wearing, transit merch from places with actually good transit. It would be like wearing the logo of like, the water company or something.

   But here it is an act of resistance lol

     @tedmielczarek they are! But you wouldn’t catch me shilling for the Singapore MRT or HK MTR or Paris RATP. It would be very weird

     In most places you don’t even really think about agencies and how they are funded

     @skinnylatte now I'm curious because I know there are TfL fans and merch in the UK. Is this an anglo-centric phenomenon?

     @tedmielczarek maybe depends on how the agencies are perceived? The Singapore LTA is deeply uncool haha
