Its decision to hold firm led many folks to turn to its app, which rocketed up the App Store and Google Play charts. The service is now capitalizing on that by adding public transit directions, a feature it […]

Put here because I probably shouldn't put it directly in the thread provoking it:

What a small worldview that because autocrats poisoned socialism (as they have also poisoned capitalist democracies and social democracies) it means one cannot ever strive for or even discuss making improvements because to do so would be going for an unachievable "ideal world".

How happy the corrupt must be to have you defending them pro bono & demotivating any action or ideas threatening an unjust status quo.

Here's a report on fare-free transit from renowned communist country, the United States of America.

Waymo is so desperate for ridership they're throwing virtual #Monopoly #money at you to take the train. 🤡💸 But only if you have a Visa card, live in the #Bay #Area, and work for #Waymo apparently. 🚂💳 Who knew public transit could turn into a tech company’s loyalty program? 🙄

I don't suppose anyone on fedi has used the city-bus system here in #DurhamNC ...?

I'm trying to find out whether it's even a practical alternative for when the routes happen to go between where you are and where you're trying to get to/from -- which is the case for at least a couple of common destinations we have, which means that the non-driving members of #HyperttwinManor might be able to use it...

(I also thought it would be faintly amusing to do some video-blogging about it -- kinda like White Person Columbuses Public Transit in The South, or something. >.>)
