I know you're just getting started with a lot of this, but how much planning are you doing with counterintitive transit issues, like bus holdovers at major transit centers? There are a lot of frustrations of busses scheduled to drop off or pick up passengers at stations, but with no layover to do both duties. This naturally leads to rather grumpy transit riders. Is your application going to be set up to handle situations like that?
- hinting 12y agoThose are called pulse points. There's some great background here: http://www.humantransit.org/2010/12/basics-finding-your-pulse.html http://www.humantransit.org/2010/12/basics-finding-your-puls... Today, planners use some scary excel sheets to try to figure this out. They are scary enough that most don't. Definitely on our list of things to tackle.
- Sanddancer 12y agoInteresting article, and I can just imagine the scariness of figuring out the pulse points of the various Bay Area transit hubs and agencies (aside: can we please get like half of the agencies to just go ahead and merge already, interagency transfers are the worst) using tools like massive excel sheets and the like. Anyways, best of luck in incorporating all this info.
