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 it's so dumb isn't it? Do I use planning apps to buy tickets? No. Do I spend a shed load of money in the European cities that I use it to travel to? Yes. The share of the cost from each country would be peanuts

@25kV Right. Exactly. Do any European governments (or the European Commission) think like this? No.

@jon @25kV this is part of the intent of the EC Green Agenda DG Move discussion about the change to the TSI regulation that is being pushed through by May 2024

It is making some folk (particularly "malevolent" ones) v unhappy

Show threadWill Deakin

@jon @25kV the TSI regulation changes have been agreed at member state level before being presented to the representative industry groups

It talks about things including a single European timetable and interoperable ticketing

Will it happen though?!?

@wnd @25kV I’ve not had time to look at this. When I have time I will.
