Great news for those using e-mobility to close those first/last-mile gaps with transit.
Effective immediately, electric scooters and electric bikes (non-gas powered) are allowed on our buses. Scooters must be either folded or stored away. Electric bikes can be brought inside the bus if the exterior bike racks are full. To learn more: https://www.samtrans.com/rider-info/bicycles.

One of my favorite Transit Month activities is when the heads of the Bay Area’s transit agencies (including @samtrans.com and @caltrain.com) do a ride-along together and riders can ask them questions face to face.
This year’s ferry to train to bus excursion was through the North Bay.

This is incredible! I want one.
I made a programmable @caltrain.com bike tag using an e-ink display. It does not need a battery, drawing just enough power from the NFC antenna to refresh the display, and then requiring no power to maintain the screen afterwards. It’s perfect for occasional trips.
