The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency will invite ratings from transit users via the existing MuniMobile app. That's brave.
John Metcalfe reports: "Loving your bus driver’s atomic-clock timeliness, but hating that dude next to you eating what smells like a week-old squid sandwich? Public-transit users in San Francisco soon will be able to give cheers and jeers to both, with an official app that lets you rate your journey and the behavior of fellow passengers."
The rating system will be available with a new update to the MuniMobile app. "The feature will apply to Muni buses, trains, cable cars, and paratransit vehicles, and should roll out late this summer," adds Metcalfe.
