Leg 3
Micro transit ftw
This is SMART Connect but I guess they subcontract it out.
Leg 2
SMART train
I know, I know, but we don't say "mind" over on this side of the pond
Leg 1
Free! Nice driver! Brand spanking new bus! But no other riders... 😢
Unreasonably excited to do the first leg of travel up to Seattle today all on public transit. Bus (Petaluma Transit, free!) → Train (SMART train) → Microtransit (SMART Connect)
I just tried MARTA Reach and had a similar smooth experience as when they piloted it a few years back. You can book rides in advance in the MARTA Reach app, with the exception that while on the train, you might have to wait until you exit the station before booking, depending on what pickup times are offered.
Busy month for transit in Atlanta:
- MARTA Reach launches March 7
- MARTA board meeting March 12

Microtransit is having a moment in the suburbs of North Texas. As large Dallas-area suburban cities seek to potentially leave the Dallas Area Rapid Transit agency, some government leaders see a service similar to Uber as the replacement.
Lafayette eyes public transit solution: micro-buses
With a new budget allocation, LCG hopes to plan and launch a pilot program of shuttle buses to service areas outside of regular bus lines.

#microtransit in Connecticut is under attack from city hall, big surprise. If you live in the area, consider reading this document (it's safe!) and urging lawmakers in SW Connecticut to support affordable transit for commuters and visitors. Thanks!
