@DanHugo@mastodon.online @davidzipper@mastodon.social Well, if you're serious, I'd say the Las Vegas Loop can join a list of honor when it helps tip Las Vegas over into combined transit ridership of 250,000 daily riders across the Loop, RTC, and Monorail. That's not a made-up number, that's comparable to Chicago's current ridership per capita. RTC currently has ~172,000 daily riders, Monorail has <12,000, so the Loop needs to step up and move more than 50,000 people while connecting to RTC and Monorail to drive ridership.

@forpeterssake@mastodon.xyz @davidzipper@mastodon.social Yep. We need to capture more analytics at higher resolution. RTC does a, um, well they could do better. One person there was interested in our Open Transit initiative, mostly they talk a good game but are unresponsive. Chaos is Opportunity, The Loops (including the free loop that runs around downtown, unrelated) are just more data to look at… we have loads of opportunity here.

@forpeterssake@mastodon.xyz @davidzipper@mastodon.social The RTC has a planning project going on with community outreach, I had reached out to collab with our nonprofit, @innovateforvegas@fosstodon.org around our Smarter City Hackathon plans for 2026, not to mention that Open Transit initiative. RTC is expert at ghosting, so collaboration appears unlikely, but I will reiterate that we are serious about these topics… HNY, 🤞 💯 rtc site for that: https://www.southernnevadastrong.org/
