For years, longtime public transportation advocate Nathan Davidowicz has been providing an immense public service, entirely voluntarily, by compiling and circulating the Weekly Alternative Buzzer (WAB). The WAB is a mix of everything – a transit newsletter, an events board, a service bulletin, fun stories, interesting factoids, a treasure trove of links, and more!
