We need smarter dynamic fares, it shouldn't be a $6 flat tax on all destinations. I think this hurts local businesses, or all local (non business) residents should automatically get half fare.

The opposite actually tends to increase ridership; complex fare systems put people off and tend to make getting on the bus more time consuming (may require each passenger to interact with the driver).

Since it is already mostly paid for by taxes why not just make it free.

Didn't realize some cities had voted it in post-COVID, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_public_transport

Might be worth digging through MicroRTS too, https://github.com/Farama-Foundation/MicroRTS (it's been abandoned), Python RL interface @ https://github.com/Farama-Foundation/MicroRTS-Py ... I think there was some strategy work there.

Extremely helpful, do you have a post about how this works on the backend?

Glad you like it! its pretty simple honestly. Just takes the state of the board, move history etc and passes it into a prompt asking for analysis

Thanks for post/link, excellent chapter on multiobjective optimization, any other books/material with that focus?

Of course, it is being optimized. People are working on increasing the sample efficiency. A simple search on Google Scholar will confirm it.
