Jon WorthToday 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
🤔 https://map.vlak.si at #OpenTransport2025 shows live positioning of trains in Republika Srpska. HOW?
Ha. Line of #OpenTransport2025 "Why do I know where my pizza is, and not where my train is?" (related to Slovenia)
Miha Frangež@jon context for anyone who didn't hear me tell the story: this was the title of the newspaper article that embarrased Slovenian Railways into finally publishing "locations" of their trains after years of saying it's "impossible"
#OpenedData through public shaming works incredibly well!
