Don’t Shrink the Bus Could Tesla’s Cybercab and similar smaller vehicles replace traditional trains and buses? Unfortunately, the idea of “personal rapid transit” has some big drawbacks.

They are not mutually exclusive, but the goal is to transport people quickly. How do you do this by congesting the roads with nanovehicles?

Metro Micro unveils new app for on-demand rideshare program The Metro Micro app has new features, including a "leave now" option when booking.(Courtesy LA Metro) **Topline:** > Metro Micro has introduced a new app. The previous app for L.A. Metro’s on-demand rideshare program was disabled over the weekend. **What you need to do now:** You’ll need to download the latest version if you’d like to book your trips that way. But you can always still book online _here_ in English and Spanish, or call (323) 466-3876 (GO-METRO) for eight other language options. **The details:** There’s now a “leave now” option in the app which will connect you to the soonest available pickup time. It’ll also give you more notifications for your ride, including if the Micro van is arriving at least five minutes before or after your scheduled pickup. **How to pay:** You used to be able to prepay with a credit card in the app, but it’s temporarily unavailable in the new version “due to unexpected registration delays,” according to the transit agency. You’ll need to use the TAP fare option in the meantime. If you had credit stored on the previous app and used that version to book rides between Feb. 1 and Saturday, your account should have been automatically transferred to the new version (not including any payment details). **How to download:** You can get it from the _Apple Store_ and _Google Play_. **Read more:**…about Metro Micro and how we got here.

MetroMicro has a new app.

Driver-less PRT is cheaper than #microtransit. But, #AI limits force a sealed ROW, which costs 💰.
What’s better?
#BRT: “…standard-sized buses operating in their own lanes, with traffic signal preference…a far more efficient, if less flashy, use of public resources.”

Kansas City Looks Back on its Long, Costly Ride With Microtransit Since 2016, the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority has offered door-to-door trips from on-demand shuttles. Here’s what the transit operator has learned.

.#PittsburghRegionalTransit isn't here on BlueSky yet. 🫤 But it seems that #microtransit is its proposed answer to some questions presented within the #Pittsburgh #BusLineRedesign process.

But should it be?

MVTA got Baby Busses!

These debuted today and will serve their rapidly growing P2P microtransit MVTA Connect service.

I mean... Honestly it makes Über pretty useless in the service areas except to go outside it.
