I want to share a big vision I have. After a decade of listening to public transit agencies, operators, and riders while working for on-demand software companies, this is what I am seeing:
On one hand, we have paratransit riders vociferously demanding better service. On the other, we have executives frowning at the cost of more paratransit. We're all talking past each other, arguing over semantics of a model that is broken.
Riders want the spontaneity that modern fixed-routes offer.
Transit agencies want the cost-effectiveness of fixed-routes.
What would happen if we leaned into this?
The future of public transit is more than paratransit, more than microtransit, and more than fixed-route transit. It's more than three transits. The future is One Transit.
Read this blog (my first ever blog!) to see what I mean. And join me on Thursday June 27, I will be presenting this vision in a webinar.
Whether you are a public official, a private operator, a tech vendor, or just interested in the future of public transit: I want to hear your voice.
Any comments on the blog I will be sure to address. The future of transit is a collective effort, and we all play a part.

1moWell while this post can bring smile to rest or make it a point for break . Apparently we should also support the firefighting team relentlessly working hard to bring things back to normal. Being in support is not easy , it’s like Avengers saving mankind when things fail. Keeping biases and blames aside it’s always a thankless job. Lets appreciate the efforts of both Microsoft and CrowdStrike teams in addressing this issue and working towards a swift resolution. Our thoughts are with all those affected, and we hope for a rapid return to normal operations. #MicrosoftOutage #CrowdStrike #CloudComputing #CyberSecurity #BusinessContinuity #ITInfrastructure #TechUpdate
