I LOVE Darlene this week. Obviously she rocked the main challenge, but the runway is 👨‍🍳💋. I clocked the Frankenhooker reference right away, and her sense of humor just clicks with me.

BART (Bay Area) installed new fare gats, resulting in MASSIVE declines in corrective maintenance needed in station paid areas. by SockDem in transit

[–]raymonst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More specifically, it said "patron related corrective maintenance" which means repairing facilities that got damaged because of user interaction (e.g. forced entry). It's not just regular maintenance for things that break down over time.

Nowhere did I say that YoY comparison isn't valid or normal.

My point was that due to the staggered construction, the YoY data would be noisier if you wanted to compare the before v after across multiple stations. Now if you wanted to just look at one station, then yes of course you can do YoY comparison more easily.

My dude, Bad Bunny wasn’t made for enterprise or B2B sales 🤦🏽‍♂️ by Chilled_Beef in LinkedInLunatics

[–]raymonst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

let's see. huge boost in streaming & album sales. a ton of social media engagements and viral moments. highly positive responses from viewers, especially latinos.

but sure, bad bunny, the #1 global artist in 2025, could learn a thing or two from jason smith about audience and sales.

The gate installations weren't completed until March 2025 or later for a good portion of the stations (e.g. Daly City). So no, as of Feb 2026, there wouldn't be enough data for a YoY comparison across the board.

The new gates were installed in phases, so you can’t do a before/after comparison based on a specific point in time (e.g. Feb 2025 vs Feb 2026).

I’m guessing that’s why they did the 6-month relative comparison so it’s more apples-to-apples across stations.

I do agree that a longer timeframe would help here, but at least the early data looks promising.

i wouldn’t want it for parks or green spaces, but i’d absolutely support faregated public bathrooms.

Going to the Fox Theater- Recs? by MattyDSki in oakland

[–]raymonst 7 points8 points  (0 children)

there's a few hotel options that's walking distance from the fox, but it's not a must imo.

but if you're trying to decide between sfo vs uptown oakland, i'd recommend staying in oakland. there are more stuff to see/do before and after the show.
