@premisedata For COVID-19, my company (Zenysis) integrates all datasets into a single view for government decision-making. I believe there is a strong use case for collaboration! I've reached out via info@ and looking forward to your response ASAP!
@citymapper Just saw your mobility index. I work for a company working with governments to control COVID-19. We integrate datasets to create a single view for decision-making (company name: Zenysis). We would like to integrate your mobility index data to enable a better response!
@Caltrain No news from train conductor so I get off the train. Next thing I know: the train has left the station. I’m now waiting for a $40 Uber in the cold (here in 10minutes) instead of being on the moving train. Please update your passengers frequently Caltrain. You cost me $40 tonight.
@Caltrain Train #211 left 1.5mins early from Menlo Park stAtion this morning. A few passengers (including myself) missed the train. Please do not leave early.
