Mashable's over-the-top enthusiasm with such a dumb idea is everything wrong with tech journalism's approach to transit these days.

There is a huge amount of #transit #data floating around on the internet.
Rarely harnessed for academic research.

Transit reliability can be measured and is a big determinant of ridership.
As shown for #NYC select bus service :

In April, the average #citibike station had no bikes 10% of the time and was completely full 5% of the time.

Using #transit #GPS data feeds to parameterize mode choice models seems like a promising direction for research.
Will likely require some collab between #BigData scientists and #transportation economists.

First academic article to come from https://t.co/cxTLsSkzF1 data was published this week: https://t.co/qSeNyUetku

While bus use has been falling across #NYC, #SBS service increased bus mode share by 20% relative to baseline. Stronger effect in areas without subway.

My peer reviewed study of #NYC's Select Bus Service was published today in #Transportation Research Part A.
Neighbourhoods receiving #SBS had more reliable bus service and experienced a rise in local bus commuting.

While the algorithmic transparency bill that passed in New York City has flaws, it set a new bar for open government in the 21st century https://t.co/6LtnrU5GBW We agree with @NYCLU: algorithmic bias “must be subject to public scrutiny and a mechanism to remedy flaws and biases.”

All home->work commute flows in Salt Lake City. 2000 & 2013.
Dots = LRT Stations.
Flow changes correlate with #LRT #transit expansion.
