Sabi nga, masama ang mainggit. Pero, mahirap gawin ito. Nakakainggit ang mga bayan kung saan gumagana, mura, at komportable ang #PublicTransport, at hindi lang 'yon, magaling din ang pagpapaunlak ng #ActiveMobility.
I could've comfortably taken a train (or a bus), but the public bikes are just as easy to find, and they simply let pedestrians and bikers share the sidewalk.
If one decides to venture on public roads, the drivers are polite and respect the priority of peds and bikers.
"Barbarela" is surely the oddest station name of the Malaga Metro. Most of the stations are rather predictably named after the barrios they serve, but there is no barrio called Barbarela.
It's tempting to invent a sequence of random events in which the 1960s comic book character played by Jane Fonda somehow ends up inspiring the name of a metro station in a Spanish provincial city.
But invention is not required: it turns out that really is what happened.
Walking in the city at night without fear, sustainable #PublicTransport, wider foot and cycle paths in the immediate vicinity to make it easier to "zigzag" throughout the day, or better lighting - women would do a lot of things differently when it comes to #UrbanPlanning.
#Trajectools continues growing. Lately, we have started expanding towards #PublicTransport analyses. The algorithms available through the current Trajectools development version are courtesy of the #gtfs_functions library
With the recent conversations about the Royal Family (Britain unfortunately) I was, with a little time to kill having to work on a document this Saturday morning, pondering the term ‘Council Tenant’. It seems ridiculous to have had to add ‘that is perfectly ok’ to my comments.
But Thatcher and the Tories managed to make it necessary - just like using public transport, it has become in many minds something to be pitied.
Why don't city buses form loops at the end of their outward run from central transport hubs? That way, with almost the same resource use, people could bus between the neighbourhoods at the end of the lines. Without coming all the way in to central interchanges, or the orbiter services, which usually connect the suburbs halfway between the centre and the end of each line.
I find it very frustrating that information about public transport routes and stops in Aotearoa aren't easily available in apps that use OSM and other open geographical data (eg OSMAnd+), or the transport apps I can find in F-Droid (eg Transportr).
Also that public transport planners in Aotearoa aren't collaborating on a single app and website, as well as (or instead of) their region-specific ones.
The social psychology of card reader location. Local buses in most parts of the country have their card readers on the opposite side of the aisle from the driver.
But in Canterbury they're located next to the driver. Which means even though the driver doesn't have to do anything to receive payment, they're more likely to have interactions with passengers.
The bus upgrades in growth areas announced last week are very welcome, and a good start in providing more transport options for locals. Continued investment in bus services is vital.
Launch of 2 line train in Bellevue / Redmond #seattle sat. was a huge hit with transit-obsessed kiddo. Lego model of train! Bouncy castle decorated like train! Plenty of swag. Cargo ebike over 520 bridge to get there (until they connect it over the lake). #seabikes#train#BikeTooter#bike#PublicTransport#urbanism
My morning Gold Coast train was cancelled. The next one in 30 minutes. Lots of high school students will be late for school today.
No point taking the 725 bus as it takes 54 minutes to go from Coomera to Helensvale vs 5 minutes by train. The TX7 bus is more direct, but it doesn't run that early, and it still takes 47 minutes.
🎂🚉 Happy 19th birthday to Marshall station, opened 26th April 2005.
It's good to see the second platform nearing completion - this will allow more frequent train services, which will be very welcome.
"For residents of #Paris and the inner suburbs, however, #publicTransport is the main motorized mode. It is also the leading regional mode for going to work and for going to study. Then, cycling clearly established itself in Paris. Parisians use #bicycles more than #cars."
Instead of providing more transportation to the place people want to go (and are willing to pay to go there), let's hide the line from the people who don't know it exists.
What kind of opposite day are they having at the city council over there?
It’s great that there’s investment in growing the V/Line fleet, but after 20 years of making VLocities, the government should be considering a new design. #PublicTransport
I'd like to see a publictransport.nz website that included every bus, train, ferry etc operating in the country. Sortable by mode; seasons of operation; ownership (public/ NFP/ co-op/ corporate/ independent); price etc.
