Transit Data

I ride public transportation most every weekday, and after some idle wondering about how often I rode in the same cars, I decided to keep track of my ridership. Naturally, I quickly became obsessed and this became a whole thing, so here you go — a record of nearly every public transit vehicle I’ve boarded since Jan. 1, 2023.1I’m aware this info probably interests no one except me, so quite frankly I don’t even know why you’re on this page.

I say nearly every boarding because this page only contains info about my rides in the San Francisco Bay area. Although I’ve ridden public transportation in some other cities, I haven’t tracked that as closely and don’t have reliable data.2Because I was on vacation, yo.

Data covers the period of Jan. 1, 2023–May 31, 2025.
