In a non-tech posting turning tech posting, Los Angeles Metro reported that crime is down on the Metro system. Crime down on Metro system over past five years gives the stats on this.
Some things tech related:
- We’ve been asked to test out transit watch, an application to report incidents
- The app can be found on the app store and in google play
- you can report numerous types of things like ADA assistance and even particular crimes
- I’ve tested it by using it legitimently to report an esculator and they went and fixed it.
For those people who have other disabilities, you can now text the metro folks right from the app. If you provide an email or cell phone, they will communnicate with you when the issue is resolved. I did this and even verified things were reported correctly.
If you create an account, you can track their progress and your reports.
If you’ve used the older or newer transit watch, please let me know how you enjoyed it.
