Nie byo mnie tu przez dłuższą chwilę, ale wszystkich zaniepokojonych uspokajam: to tylko zwyky roboczy zapierdol. Na Wielkanoc wyjechałem do Danii, chociaż była to [po staremu] delegacja, a po nowemu "business trip". W każdym razie zapieprzałem po kilkanaście godzin dziennie, użyłem jak pies w studni, bo obejrzałem tylko hotel, biuro i kilka obrazków z zadupnej miejscowości pod Kopenhagą, gdzie nic nie ma... ale pomyślalem, że zamiast uskarżać się na ciężki los, wyciągnę z tego wyjazdu tyle, ile się uda.

I oto jesteśmy. Ponieważ w pierwszej kolejności prowadzę konto poświęcone komunikacji publicznej, oto obrazki z przedmieść Kopenhagi. Duńska komunikacja jest... dobrze zorganizowana, punktualna, dostępna, względnie nowoczesna i bardzo nudna. Pewnym szokiem dla przybysza z polskiego dużego miasta był absolutny brak biletomatów (tylko na stacjach kolejowych) - w autobusie da się zapłacić gotówką lub użyć lokalnej aplikacji/karty miejskiej, innych opcji brak. Głupie wytyczne księgowości [masz brać fakturę za wszystko!!!] nie pozwoliły mi na pojeżdżenie autobusami nawet w ramach lokalnej wiochy, ale przynajmniej z zewnątrz chwyciłem kilka zdjęć. #dania #denmark #taastrup #komunikacjamiejska #publictransport

Was a long day at work today, made even longer by having to wait for the next scheduled bus because the one I wanted to catch never showed up. But I did get to experience the new bus smell: rode in one of the electric double-decker buses new on the NorthWestern Busway. And for free: the ticket tagging machines were out of order. #publicTransport

“My son took the wrong bus home on his first day in high school, the bus driver changed the route to bring him right to our house.
Also, the HGV driver driving slow enough & alert enough to stop when 18M old daughter darted into the road. My heroes forever.”

#transitous is also a very cool #opensource map and route planning tool for #publictransport.

Have a look at this cool website with the #locations of the #metro in #realtime in #Vienna, on an #openstreetmap map.

In the city of #Vienna, #WoBahn, an #opensource application, provides real-time information on all #metro lines (U1, U2, U3, U4) to citizens. The app visualises the metro map of Vienna, and follows the progress of the different lines, with customised visuals. Thus, citizens can check in real-time the location of the metros at the line and stations.

I long for a future where everywhere “cars sit around like the ghosts of a gridlocked past.”

From the Ottawan: “Before you go anywhere, check the OC Transpo website to ensure that your bus still exists.” Oh, dear. #Ottawa #publictransport

I commented somewhere recently that it's unfair to run a town without useful public transport because it encourages people to drive when they shouldn't and harm themselves and others.

Now we see that NHS staff fatigue combines with a lack of public transport to kill them, and others, on the roads.

Not running useful transport at all hospital shift changes is very cruel.

I look forward to this:-

"Under the plan, those who blast out songs and TV shows from their phone on public transport, or while at stations or bus stops, could face a maximum fine of £1,000."

"The polling, by Savanta, found that 54% of people said they would not feel comfortable asking someone to turn down their music on public transport, rising to 63% among women."

Your mom was once restricted to the AOL ecosystem. And today transport data is being restricted by gatekeepers. And these two things are related. There’s no stopping the demand for open data.

Outback bus service 'essential' to far-flung opal mining town
By Katherine Spackman

Before the remote town of White Cliffs got state-funded transport to Broken Hill 300 kilometres away, some locals went long stretches without essential services and supplies.
