📰 News we're reading

• Sunnyvale's New Transit Option BEAM (newsbreak.com) — Sunnyvale has launched BEAM, a low-cost, on-demand shuttle run by Via, similar to services already operating in Cupertino and Santa Clara. For Cupertino residents, the catch is that these Via-operated systems still don't connect across city borders, leaving gaps for riders who need simple trips between neighboring communities for school, medical visits, or work.
