Seems illegal to have petrol pumps 4 meters from an underground entrance, but what do I know?

Why is gas cheaper in NY than the Midwest? Fuck

That's interesting, $2.99 is what it costs right now in Oklahoma.

Idk if it's $2.99 or if that's their bullshit "with car wash" but still. We're around $3.30s with premium hitting $4.60s! Premium keeps outpacing regular 😭

4.60s is pretty standard here in Seattle. Non-premium.

Seems like a poor place to put a subway station, maybe the curb should be moved a bit so people can safely enter

Fuck bp

Halsey gave me five bucks!

I honestly did not even see the subway entrance at first glance.

Honestly it always irritates me with how streets and roads are designed in North America, we pave over everything flat, to allow vehicles traffic unimpeded access everywhere.

Center mediums, curbs, and bollars need to come back. Paint is not a barrier or safety feature. These things are what is referred to as "traffic calming".

Its also the exact reason why in North America cars driving into buildings is so common.

Examples of "traffic calming" features.

Worth a watch showing the disparity in what is considered traffic calming in North America vs Amsterdam.
