Transit Tip 7. Provide free rides when service is severely delayed.

On-board fare collection consumes up to 30 percent of running times. Severe delays can be reduced or eliminated by letting people ride free -- often enough time to recover from 20-minute delays in one trip. Otherwise you're running late all day, and nobody wins in that situation.

Newer PostTransit Tip 8. Sidewalk maintenance & snow clearing should be a public service.
Older PostTransit Tip 6. Implement a proof-of-payment fare system.

I am a transit planner, geographer, traveler, bus driver and advocate for effective public services (like transit) and safe streets. I co-founded TransitMatters in Boston.

In 2012, I quit my last office job to start exploring the world and working seasonally. I blog & podcast as time and internet access allow.
