Crowdfixing: Improving Transit With Social Media ("This “crowdfixing” concept has also been applied specifically to transit, most notably in cities across Europe. FixMyTransport is a UK-based website that uses a similar platform to SeeClickFix, letting residents voice their concerns about underperforming routes and unpleasant stations in British cities.

Keeping CNN Honest: 10 Ways Anderson Cooper Got The Rail Story Wrong ("Reporter Drew Griffin did an “exposé” of a Vermont rail project that spent .00006% of the federal stimulus money on needed track improvements and came in on time and under budget. Scandal! It amounts to a high-profile smear campaign on the high-speed rail program from a mainstream media source trying to expose government corruption and waste where none exists. Cooper makes it clear they’re going to stay on the story; they already did a similar takedown of the California rail program.")
