New Urbanist Name needed for Transit Oriented Blog

December 14, 2018 9:57 AM

Please help me come up with a name for my blog focusing on data and data analysis particularly on urban and transportation issues.

Example posts I'm thinking of:
- Subway / train access vs transit commute mode in major Canadian cities
- Estimating high speed rail demand in the US
- Why the local pedestrian mall here in Calgary should be open later in the summer - an argument from count data
- A comparison of population density in metro areas throughout the Anglosphere
- Income equity in transit ridership

But also some less on topic; perhaps:
- Using microsimulation to determine the best way to qualify countries for the World Cup
- What factors influence wages in the US. (see my most-favourited comment)

It will be a wonky place. I'd like a name that is not wildly ridiculous / unprofessional (although droll like "Pedestrian Observations" is good and puns are wonderful), that is suggestive of the content, but not completely limiting. An obscure reference would be just fine. Plus the other things that make a good blog/website name; easy to say, easy to spell, memorable.

Coming/Going or vice versa: Going/Coming . You could also put an ampersand or an "or" between the words.

I feel like there's a transcendental meditation pun available, but I'm not sure what it is.

Do you know about NUMTOTS (New Urbanist Memes for Transit-Oriented Teens)? It's a catchy name that has spawned a lot of spinoffs and variations, and might spark an idea for you.

Response by poster: Thanks everybody for their ideas and suggestions!

I wound up with something that was inspired by a couple of the ideas: Mean Median Mode Choice.

Thanks all!
