A wonderful follow up from the Chronicle today announcing that contactless debit and credit cards payments are coming to 22 #SFBA #PublicTransit agencies (almost all the ones serviced by #Clipper today) next summer!
Very much looking forward to the update and looking forward to dumping Clipper and my set of “loaner” cards for friends and family that visit (so they avoid lost money on cards they can’t cash out).

Exciting news! Councilmember Omar Torres’ of #SanJose D3 is going to join us for #SJTransitHappyHour! We’re looking forward to seeing him (and you 👀) on the 28th!

We had a blast today at #VivaCalleSJ in Japantown! We had great pizza and beer at Jtown Pizza, and got to stop by the #VTA booth. It was great to see that so many people had stopped by and given feedback about what they’d like to see in transit in #SanJose and #SantaClaraCounty. Unsurprisingly, the most votes when to more and faster transit. People want #PublicTransit!

I hope everyone is enjoying showing their love for #PublicTransit this month! As we get closer to the date, I'm getting more excited about the event I'll be co-hosting for Transit Month: Transit Happy Hour!
We'll be discussing how transit reduces drunk driving. Voice for Public Transit just published a blog post about exactly what we'll be discussing. Did you know that traveling by public transportation is *10 times safer* per mile than traveling by automobile?

Shit like this happening everywhere and 🇨🇦s like… big 🤷♂️

I know it’s great and all about being able to use your credit card and phone to pay for transit (and about time) but can anyone point me in the direction of how to get all my money off a presto card? Do I just use up all I can then let them have my $2.00 and change? I’m feeling really petty #ottawa #publictransit
Wrangling transportation data in the global South is no easy feat. It's our specialty. We harness community crowdsourcing and OpenStreetMap to provide accurate GTFS informed by the people who know the city better than anyone.

I enjoy reading two disparate books simultaneously.
Currently up?
Pulitzer Prize-winning Eviction by Matthew Desmond, and recently released Survival of the Richest by Douglas Rushkoff.

I’m on my third trip into and out of Toronto in 8 days and I don’t know why anyone ever drives to get here! It is definitely not more convenient than taking the train and the TTC once you arrive.
I’ve been driving because I’m transporting my boss, and it is not great.

@GraphicMatt wow. For one rare moment, our lack of infrastructure is a benefit!
A not-altogether-encouraging article on the proposed Red-Blue connector in Boston. It's outrageous that this hasn't been done already. #MBTA #Boston #PublicTransit
Over the next few months, Cobb County, #Georgia officials will begin public outreach to get feedback on proposals pay for a bus rapid transit system.
“The majority of voters that support this project . . . are unable to show up and voice their support in part due to the very lack of transit that we’re trying to get in place now.”
