oh my gods
"One of the rejected names for the farecard system was "The Fare Cod", a pun on both the way locals might pronounce "Card" and the fish that was once integral to the Massachusetts economy, and also a reference to other transit cards named for ocean animals, such as London's Oyster and Hong Kong's Octopus."
oh my heck, that's amazing!
@iliana ili
I will need you to report on Jesss accent lmao
(oddly I don't do voice calls often with anyone)
@iliana
And Seattle's Orca
@iliana Seattle has Orca Card and the fact that it's not the Orcard is a missed opportunity.
@iliana that was the one i was rooting for but no they decided to name it after a character created as a satire against fare increases instead
@iliana this
is so good
so good
