Today and tomorrow I’m at #OpenTransport2025 in Wien. Friends and fellow regular rail travellers @moof @bovine3dom @maartje are also here. I’ll post as and when I can!
#OpenTransport2025 Yes ideas can happen in unlikely places. But to the person just scrolling on their phone while pissing at the urinal: that’s grim. Did you wash your phone too? 🤔
Talking to the @transitous people at #OpenTransport2025
One headache: data on international trains that is missing the other side of the border
My EN Dacia Hegyeshalom 🇭🇺 - Sighisoara 🇷🇴 is 1 train but shows as 2 on Transitous
Learning about Open Rail Association at #OpenTransport2025 https://openrailassociation.org
Entur in Norway has a free system called Tavla where you can build a departure screen for your local stop. https://tavla.entur.no/demo #OpenTransport2025
@jon The regional transit authority in Zurich offers a similar service, I've already seen some larger companies have a display in the entrance to their offices. It's pretty neat, as you can filter for specific lines and directions.

@gommehammer @jon Climbing Centre Kassel does this too. Though not using NVV or KSG infrastructure. They just use RMV's webview. 🙏
