Pledge of Allegiance?
I’m surprised to hear that SamTrans is not on-board Google Transit, yet — they hosted the last TransitCamp in their offices in San Mateo. [Which makes me think, it's almost time for another, ain't it?] I emailed their customer service to try to get the scoop.
Anyhow, while looking around for info on SamTrans and Google Transit, I stumbled upon this page, which details a SamTrans Citizens Advisory Committee’s (CAC) meeting agenda from sometime in 2007. The first item on the agenda is ‘Pledge of Allegiance’.
Whether you choose to call yourself an ultranationalist or a patriot or whatever else, I don’t really care, but this definitely did strike me as a bit odd. If it was a ‘Pledge of Allegiance to Transit’ or something I could understand reciting some words about how much you loved streetcars or something at the beginning of each meeting, but I don’t suspect that’s what the pledge is about. Us bikers have one, why not transiters?
And that is your useless factoid of the day.
