FasTrak in the Chronicle

2001-06-25 18:35:08+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

The Chronicle covers FasTrak losers. Yeah, I know, you non-Bay Area folks are undoubtedly sick of hearing about this, but at the very least this shows that there are some interesting user interface issues still to be solved. There's also a clue here about why the Golden Gate bridge district has sent me violation notices for three quarters of the times I've been through that bridge with FasTrak: They just aren't paying any attention to the tourists backing up in FasTrak[Wiki] lanes:

Golden Gate Bridge spokeswoman Mary Currie said full-stopping there is rare on a span where 40 percent of the commuters use FasTrak and the service is accepted at all 11 toll gates.
