#waittime — Public Fediverse posts

Product idea:

Software that automatically manages a medical office's appointment delays by texting the patients their expected appointment start time. Patients would prefer to do something with their time other than sit in the waiting room.

Some airlines do this with flight delays, so passengers don't rush for nothing, then pile up at the airport.

Just read an article in the Los Angeles Times about hospital #ER wait times...

#Canadians are now picking themselves up off the floor, #laughing.

Here in #Saskatchewan, the literal birthplace of #medicare, we would be absolutely THRILLED if ER wait times averaged "nearly seven hours". Twelve hours is more typical. And that less-than-seven-hours counts as third-worst in the #USA?

"Passengers satisfaction with taxi & private-hire car services fell in 2022, with the score for #waittime falling the most, according to the PTC’s point-to-point transport services #customersatisfaction survey findings released in Feb. #LTA has started discussions with its #partners – taxi & ride-hailing operators, the National Taxi Association, & the National Private Hire Vehicles Association"
🧐Fine line between LTA as regulator & as a "partner" to commercial entities?🇸🇬

Let's clarify some #Uber facts about #WaitTimeFees:

Uber #rideshare #drivers can't "mark themselves as arrived". They CAN (& some like me) DO send an "I have arrived" msg to you BUT that does not start the #WaitTime meter. Uber SETS arrival locations MOSTLY based on where the USER says to pick them up - but in some places (hotels, amusement parks, convention centers) they HAVE a GPS point to go to before the clock starts.

THIS article is total BS!
