TransitCamps (updated)

Previous: Toronto; Vancouver. (I wrote about the Toronto event before.)

Later this month: San Francisco Bay.

See "Rundown of TransitCamp Vancouver" from the Paul Hillsdon blog. And "Best Suggestions from Vancouver Transit Camp" from the Random Dude blog (although they don't seem all that pathbreaking...)


There is this blog entry about the Toronto Transit Camp, "Unconventions and the Toronto Transit Camp" and the San Francisco Chronicle did a story about the upcoming SF version, "Workshop aims to upgrade transit trip planning." The Chronicle article seems to indicate that the organizers think a lot of the problem is information about scheduling.

In the DC region, I don't think the issue is merely "technology" and figuring out transit schedules. We do pretty well with that here. Here, I think the issue is transit marketing, transit expansion, transit planning...

Plus with railroad service, creating one regional system, that I am now dubbing RACER, for the Rallroad Authority of the Chesapeake Region although I think BeyondDC likes Potomac Express.
