Dec 1, 2024December 2024 focused on delivering a more reliable, accessible, and business-friendly Trip Planner experience on mbta/dotcom. Key work delivered a comprehensive UX and data presentation refresh for the Trip Planner, including clearer itineraries, enhanced leg/place displays, robust error handling, and visual consistency; implemented display of backend error messages and improved route color handling. Autocomplete libraries were upgraded to improve accessibility and type safety. Email delivery reliability was stabilized by switching the Base64 encoder and pinning a stable mail library. Route data was standardized with redirects for closed routes in line with Bus Network Redesign. Test reliability was boosted through smoke/test updates and staging-flaky-test mitigations. These changes reduce user confusion, improve reliability, and lower support costs while enabling faster, safer releases.
