How would you like to see Metro, LADOT, Big Blue Bus, and other SoCal transit agencies step up their use of social media? 

Should Metro patner with Foursquare, like BART did in the Bay Area?

Would you like to see the @MetroLosAngeles Twitter account have more of a voice? (Right now, it’s can seem pretty duplicative of the @metrolaalerts account.) Think municipal operators need to step up their game, or think they should just focus on service?

Email us or tweet your ideas to @EndingGridlock.

While it’s from 2009, this BART presentation on social media is still informative:

And speaking of tech, we’re eagerly awaiting the re-release of the Metro iPhone app (the previous version was pulled from the Apple store).
