SF progress in the last 3 years — there is broad public awareness of the housing crisis, bike lines are increasingly well-demarcated (and I saw my first bicycle-dedicated traffic light recently!) Next I'd like us to talk about fareless public transit.
It's probably outside of consideration in the current Overton window, but as long as tech companies are subsidizing public transit for their own employees as a standard perq, it's worth discussing what it would take to support that for everyone, and accompanying economic benefit.
The careful budgeting demands of managing bay area transit for price-sensitive travelers, the memorization of complex transit system types and schedules and their interconnections are a poverty tax. We could go a long way just simplifying the fare schedules.
Because Bay Area transit endpoints are often awkwardly distant from each other in on-foot terms.. one point of view I hold where I feel expected to believe otherwise, is that hoverboards (and since their peak, scooters, ebikes etc.) are actually good.
Hoverboards became uncool quickly (due to shoddy QA, trade protection..) but were the first inkling of "glue" transit filling in the gaps where urban planning had let us down.
Would be nice to see tech put money into expanding and improving the public transit that already exists, and become part of the city instead of skimming on the surface of it.
Isn't that happening?
portland used to have that in the downtown area, but removed it. i think a big reason was the increasing houselessness crisis, because people would sleep on the bus (I don't think this is a good reason, just relaying what I remember)
Officially, it was a fairly small budget shortfall after 37 years of operation —https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/editors-picks/what-was-trimets-fareless-square-and-should-it-come-back/451692563 …
It's Saturday, and I read this in Tübingen ...
