Skate: Building a better bus dispatch app (and how it will improve your ride)

Let’s talk about what it takes to run bus service. You need buses (we have around 800 on the road at peak times). You need operators (we have over 1,000 of them). You need to make sure all of your operators have buses to drive. You need to make sure every bus and operator is at the right place to start their trips on time. You need to make sure your operators get breaks and days off — they’re humans, not machines. The buses are machines, but they still need to get back to the garage every night. And someone needs to help out if a bus has trouble on the road. <a href="https://medium.com/@nash.logan/skate-building-a-better-bus-dispatch-app-and-how-it-will-improve-your-ride-51965d8ef7b9">Learn More</a>
