"The phenomenon of induced demand is as real for transit as it is for highways: If you provide a more attractive service, more people will use it."

TIL: @FlyFrontier makes it sound on their website like you could request to fly on standby if you get to the airport early enough but in reality they don't actually offer standby to passengers.

@AmericanAir the first (delayed) plane is additionally delayed because it has two flat tires, and then the second plane is delayed because it was the wrong plane/intended for another city and has TOO MUCH fuel? Y'all are joking right

[Jen Kim @whereisjenkim]

@Amtrak i get surge pricing but it's really shitty when your purchase doesn't go through because of a buggy system and then the ticket price has doubled when you try to book again 30 seconds later.

@AmericanAir Sent a DM!

[Jen Kim @whereisjenkim]

@AmericanAir what's happening at ORD? Why are all the flights being cancelled today?

[Jen Kim @whereisjenkim]

@HDCares your customer care promises to follow up on phone calls inquiring into weird return processes (returned an item that was paid for in cash and it was "debited" back to a card), I called multiple times and was promised a call back and it's been months.

[Jen Kim @whereisjenkim]

@SEPTA @SEPTA_SOCIAL what is happening?? I've been standing at this stop for 40 minutes already.

[Basil🧡 @LinkofSunshine]

I just learned that computer data can be encoded and stored as DNA. 🤯 This book is wild #FutureReady #thefutureishere @wsp

@SEPTA_SOCIAL @SEPTA @SEPTAPHILLY Great. How do you ensure that this doesn't happen again, and/or that delays or missing buses are communicated so that riders can look for alternative routes if needed?

The other day 103 leaves early, today it's a no-show show, how many chances does a girl have got to give before calling it quits? #MySEPTARomance

[Jen Kim @whereisjenkim]

@SEPTA_SOCIAL @SEPTA @SEPTAPHILLY Yes, it showed up 5 minutes late but I managed to board. Is my transfer still valid if it's been over an hour since I first tapped my keycard to start my journey?

[Jen Kim @whereisjenkim]

@SEPTA_SOCIAL @SEPTA @SEPTAPHILLY 6:15pm departing from 69th Street. Fingers crossed the 6:45pm actually shows up, or I might be more than a little annoyed

[Jen Kim @whereisjenkim]

@SEPTA_SOCIAL @SEPTA @SEPTAPHILLY Nope, gave up and took another mixed-modal option. Thankfully it's a nice day outside and there wasn't an emergency situation in my schedule!

[Jen Kim @whereisjenkim]

SEPTA 😭☠️🤡😤😡👿🤬😠
Missed the bus by 3 seconds (which decided to depart early) and the bus driver wouldn't stop to let me board. Next bus isn't for another hour.

[Jen Kim @whereisjenkim]

@SEPTA_SOCIAL @SEPTA @SEPTAPHILLY Bus 103 from 69th Street. (That makes me 0 for 3 of the last three times I've tried taking this line home.)
