What exactly is #transittech?

It encompasses all the technologies, services, and standards to deliver service and keep you informed as a rider

My little corner is passenger info systems and screens - screens like this 👇 rely on lots of systems that manage transit data

The fun part about having a transit tech bro job on a mobility team is you get to take transit for work and also learn about transit stuff at work! Highly recommend.

Any interest in a #transittech feed and/or starter pack to make sure the signal is stronger for real people doing real work to make transit ops and rider info better and overpowers the noise of gadgetbahns?

More conventional #transittech includes many things in the pictures of this post

- automated announcements and visual equivalence
- dispatching tools

- fare collection systems
- passenger info screens and audio equivalence
- surveillance

To laypeople, #transittech is often newer versions of personal rapid transit (PRT) reinventing this low-capacity mode for some promise of an autonomous future that never arrives

Morgantown is actually a great example of good PRT with recently upgraded tech

#transittech even extends into your pocket with apps, both those dedicated to transit wayfinding and others that consume standardized transit data feeds as general wayfinding tools (e.g. Google & Apple maps)

There used to be this really great app called Pigeon that was like Waze but for navigating the NYC subway system and you could update with any delays, how crowded the cars are, etc. and it really was phenomenal and the fact that it is no more makes me sad 😔

This even extends to #transittech for making transit more #accessible, like Navilens' proprietary solution - they use special 2D barcodes & an app on a rider's own smartphone to direct and inform blind and low-vision riders with voice navigation/realtime information

El sistema Navilens, pensado para los ciegos que se mueven en transporte público, pasa a ofrecer información de servicio al resto de viajeros de TMB. Apuntando al código de colores con la nueva app sabes cuándo pasa el próximo tren o si hay incidencias.

La aplicación de TMB incorpora este sistema para informar del paso del próximo tren o de incidencias en el servicio en el suburbano y en la red de autobuses

The data standards we use to convey all that information also underpin #transittech

Not only is it for rider-facing stuff, it's also key for allowing agencies to work efficiently, manage service well, and understand its own performance

Transit tech firm Via Transportation targets up to $3.5 billion valuation in US IPO
(Reuters) -Transit technology maker Via Transportation said on Wednesday it was targeting a valuation of up to $3.50 billion in its initial public offering, joining a wave of companies aiming to list their shares on U.S. exchanges this fall. Via and some of its existing investors are seeking to raise up to $471 million by offering 10.7 million shares priced between $40 and $44 apiece. Investor appetite for IPOs has strengthened amid an equity market rally fueled by robust tech earnings and growing expectations of interest rate cuts in the short term, even as stubborn inflation and labor market uncertainty continue to cloud the broader economic outlook. Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Allen & Company and Wells Fargo are the lead underwriters for Via’s offering. The company plans to list its shares on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "VIA". 3rd party Ad. Not an offer or recommendation by Investing.com. See disclosure here or remove ads.

Right now, we have 5+ GTFS editor projects in the ecosystem.

What if there was a GTFS editor framework, and then national transit agencies funded work on specific components (e.g. a shapes editor, a stop times editor, a stop editor), rather than having everyone duplicate effort on each #transittech
