Shownotes

The BBC reports an autonomous transit bus is being tested in Seoul, South Korea, the first of its kind in the world. The self-driving Night Bus still requires a safety driver at this time while testing is underway.

Anaheim Transportation Network opened a new electric bus charging facility. As one of the first all-electric bus fleets in California, the new facility will manage the charging of over 80 electric buses.

And don’t be surprised if you see Stormtroopers patrolling transit systems on Star Wars Day this Saturday. In the past, Vancouver’s TransLink put Jakku and Mos Eisley stops in their transit maps… and VIA Metropolitan Transit in San Antonio made a video of the Jedi forces needed to public transportation. Links are included in the description... and May the 4th be with you.
