Another great @uclalewiscenter.bsky.social lecture from Paavo Monkkonen on French Social Housing.

Did you know that cash users still pay their fare when the TAP is out of order?
On both outbound and inbound #8 the TAP payment system wasn't working and phone/card users just hopped on.
@smbigbluebus.bsky.social is this equitable service delivery? Think about the demographics of cash users.
