"Perspective" essay from @MinetaTrans by @joshuaschank & @EmmaHuang00 suggests a cash subsidy for low-income people to use for trips on mobility modes they choose is preferable to simply making public transit fare-free for them. https://t.co/GgUculPTee Relates to #UBM & #MaaS.
The idea of #freetransit has grown more popular in recent years because it is simple & easy to understand. It has also spurred substantial debate. @joshuaschank and @EmmaHuang00 (@InfraStrategies) wrote about the potential tradeoffs & benefits: https://t.co/SDuKWe3tuk
.@joshuaschank and I wrote an article on how fareless/free transit, packaged with other specific policy decisions, has the potential to be a powerful tool to address some of our societal challenges https://t.co/KckHR7qUTQ

Dueling posters in Eagle Rock about the NoHo to Pasadena BRT project. Fortunately there is a good way to make decision between the two: what’s best for bus riders.
@anitaweaver1@metrolosangeles You drop in your pick up location and then the app directs you to a specific intersection/bus stop that is closest. It drops a pin for you. I was on Colorado and Hermosa.
I tried @metrolosangeles new Micro service this morning. Scheduled a pick up in Eagle Rock and was dropped at the Highland Park station. It was seamless, vehicle was clean, and driver was nice! Won’t need to drive to the station anymore on my commute! https://t.co/gQB1BI3CF2
