In Boston, citizens can now download an iPhone app that lets them send their complaints directly to city hall. In Miami, we now have… um… text messages and emails to let you know when Metrorail is down.
“The Miami-Dade Transit Rider Alerts system is another example of how we’re using the latest technology to improve communication with our customers by providing them with real-time information about service issues that could impact their commute with us,” says MDT Director Harpal S. Kapoor.
Email and text messages are the “latest technology”? Is it 1999 again? New Times sends restaurant picks from our food critique via text message. It’s about time you joined the game, MDT.
Seriously, there’s already an unofficial twitter feed that provides this service.
When news happens, Miami New Times is there —
Your support strengthens our coverage.
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If Miami New Times matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
Setting aside both Kapoor’s we’re-on-the-cutting-edge hyperbole and our own snark, the service that sends you messages about your daily commute can be helpful. You can sign up for them here.
