   Problem : The challenge of St. Louis Metro Bus Systems 

As a student in today’s world and modern lifestyle, public transportation can play a huge role in our lives. Public transportation is something quite a few people use to get from point A to point B. The St. Louis Metro system has been a transportation source for years. The metro is a source of transportation for many students and employers. The St. Louis Metro system is something that is heavily relied on among many people of different walks of life. This source of transportation can make us question the historical development and its effectiveness and also how it can better the future of the St. Louis metro systems.

To analyze the St. Louis Metro system from a broader perspective, we can focus on its historical growth, accessibility concerns, and how technology can help the future. Public transportation in St. Louis has continued to be able to adapt to change in recent developments and demographics. Therefore, when it comes to limited service and cutting services and value, there are some issues and concerns.

Technological advancements like data-based service planning, tracking apps for buses, and paying services allow people to have a smoother experience with the Metro system. Although there are some questions about advancement and how they will make things easier to access for the community.

Exploring issues like these can help us make use of historical records. Metro transportation usage shows trends and service over time. Studies have shown knowing the importance of social justice and also urban mobility can be considered as additional information. This will show a timeline of the historical system’s development and data. The studies provide an understanding of St. Louis metro bus systems and their urban challenges and question what kind of improvements are needed for the future for long-term benefit by using historical research. There are also some questions of concern.

For this paper I choose to talk about Documenting Ferguson. This website documents the things that have happened in the Ferguson community following the Ferguson shooting of Michael Brown in 2014. Washington University Libraries created the Documenting Ferguson shortly after the protests about the Michael Brown shooting. This project’s goal was to additionally keep data on what has become a significant moment in history.

This project helps keep digital pictures of the protest, such as art and videos. To help people remember the impact injustice has had on the Black community. This website is intended to inform the audience, such as teachers, students, etc. 

Documenting Ferguson allows people’s voices to be heard in digital artifacts and allows the artifacts not to get lost in the future. A setback is open submissions, and you have to be cautious about whether this information is completely reliable on ethical issues. The project helps enhance the knowledge of the St. Louis area. Most of this I did know before, considering I am from St. Louis, but it helped me gain knowledge in a digital aspect and helped me connect emotionally. Overall, I would say the project was not off-putting at all; it all seemed reliable. Also, it is a good representation of how people can use a digital tool to preserve a significant moment in history. This project offers a deeper understanding of Ferguson’s history.

The cahokia Mounds Augmented Reality (AR) app gives is users a fully immersive experience of the ancient mississippian civilization it a digital link between past and present. The app is use augmented reality to make historical reconstructions outcomes to life. Which is increases the accessibility and interest of an archeological site for people today. The app is also design to make decision and affect how inclusive and accessible the app is.

The app’s ability to increase access for viewers who might find it hard to interact with historical narratives is an advantage. For example people with limited ability to physically walk might actually experience Cahokia’s past. Also the AR technology helps us visualize places as they were a long time ago which helps the human brain fill in those missing pieces. Therefore Augmented Reality is a good representation in historical interpretation which is  crucial and is important that indigenous voices are surrounded in how site history is conveyed.  Providing accessibility and representation should be improved to add more options to give more indigenous perspectives and more prominence.This is a concern because people may not have access to technology. Overall I think Cahokia Augmented Reality software is an effective tool for enhancing history but modification can have an impact on inclusion.
