Great meeting everyone on the DART station tour today. Let’s get stuck on the blue line next year too @ArlTransit did a great job organizing.
Glad to see the @UTAShorthorn talking about this issue!

New bus and protected bike lanes on Venice Boulevard are now officially open!
Birds eye view of our Line 33 bus:
Austin's MetroRapid bus lines (the 801 and 803) have a ton of great features. Particularly the "Next Bus" info and covered stops which vastly improve the experience.

I got a chance to try the rental scooters in Downtown #Austin. It's insanely convenient to get off of a bus and just grab a nearby scooter
ALT Link worked well for a while, until there were some issues with the app that stopped it. The Bird scooter I switched to worked flawlessly though.
ALT The Lime app wouldn't scan the QR code on any scooter I tried, but other people didn't seem to have this problem. I didn't want to spend a lot of time figuring it out so I just switched to a different brand
Riding @CapMetroATX and this 803 just drove by the bus stop without stopping. So far my experience with CapMetro has been good, but it's pretty rough waiting for the next bus because the last one ignored you.
HOUExplorer has some great videos of DFW transit!

The largest city in the US without public transit has also banned electric scooters! City ordinance No. 05-098 makes it illegal to ride electric scooters on any "street, highway, shoulder, sidewalk or public right-of-way". #Arlington @CityOfArlington
Did you know that DART has one single underground station? This is Cityplace, in uptown Dallas. #Transit #Subway @dartmedia
Arlington actually has autonomous vehicles driving around the center of the city near UTA and downtown. We got the chance to ride one and it was... interesting. This tech still needs a lot of improvement.
I had the chance to ride the @TrinityMetro Juror Shuttle and it's a great service! 10/10

I recently wrote an article about the Dash, a battery-electric bus currently used by @TrinityMetro. It would be awesome to see it in Arlington!
