Adding expiration dates to signage is a cheap, simple idea that can improve the user experience of transit. Several other agencies (Paris, for instance) do this as a matter of course.

The openTTC guys have been making pretty good progress in putting together a basic TTC data set
-
First steps towards putting together a Vancouver Transit Camp–the audio recording on the Moosecamp page that she links to is pretty interesting (and the quality is good enough to be listenable).
-
Portland adds new pedestrian signage to their downtown area, on a $200K budget. Good signage helps make people less uncomfortable with unfamiliar areas. Anyone have readable pictures of these? I’m curious about what details are marked on the map
-
Demo of Logi Vidarsson’s TTC trip planner, using scraped data. He’s willing to share the source, depending on the application.

Interesting musings on how to help people discover places of interest within their walkable vicinity. Transit and car-sharing go hand-in-hand with walkability, so anything we do to help people explore their surroundings on foot helps the cause of transit

Nice listing of Toronto-related mashups–I’ve just added the transit-related ones to the TTC page in the wiki.

A good post about Toronto Transit Camp and unconventions in general–don’t miss the extended comment by ringleader Mark Kuznicki about future Transit Camp plans.
-
Good account of the original Toronto Transit Camp.
-
Why does Pennsylvania transit get shortchanged by state legislators? Unsurprisingly, most of them don’t have transit-riding constituents.
-
BadTransit (a site dedicated to griping about the MBTA) expresses doubt that a Boston Transit Camp would make any difference.
