Public transport journey planning has a public purpose - get people efficiently to their destination.

This planning function *might* not have financial compensation - there might be no ticket sale involved.

The likes of Trainline then have very little incentive as I see it to provide excellent journey planning. But if they can’t, and the likes of DB won’t, internationally… then who can?

@jon if rail was a publicly owned service, then the incentive would be to give people the most efficient routes so as to maximise the availability of space for other passengers

Yet another reason that privately owned rail is a bad system

@http_error_418 Not sure. SNCF is publicly owned and is the most malevolent of the lot.
