From a rider experience standpoint, I feel these metal handles are better than straps because they give the user a sturdier mechanism to grip and don't move forward or backward in the primary direction of travel. #RiderExperience #CustomerExperience #Transit #NUMTOT

Google Maps has been doing this for a while now but I still appreciate that they are working to get better transit data by asking how crowded a bus or train is. #riderexperience

Green Circle: 3 extra seats on top of front wheel well 👍/Yellow Circle: Little step for easier seat access 👍/ Purple Circles: Good placement of stop request buttons for those who can't reach the pull cord 👍/ #RiderExperience

I was amazed that all the @MARTASERVICE buses and trains I took yesterday had WiFi that actually worked! Transit being on time is of course more important than WiFi but it's a little thing that can make the riding experience better. #RiderExperience

I'm always a fan of good wayfinding! I like this ground sticker to direct people to the elevator at the Airport MARTA station. #Wayfinding #RiderExperience #MakeTransitEasy #accessibility

Blue arrows point to stop request buttons which are great so riders don't have to reach over someone to pull the cord. Green outline is the panel that should be behind the seats in front of the back door on all buses. #RiderExperience #MakeTransitEasy

🗣️ What’s the catch?
Initially, not all riders will have access to freeway rides. Riders can opt-in via the Waymo app to experience faster journeys. It's all about improving user experience! #RiderExperience
