Probably one of the most important tools at our company: The CAN/LIN debug adapter.

It lets us connect our PCs to a CAN or LIN bus network and send or receive data frames via an sophisticated software. The software enables us to filter frames, check timing parameters and data as well as write frames to simulate missing parts of any existing physical bus (Residual bus simulation)

Not cheap, but worth every penny. Which tools can you no longer do without at your workplace?

Lake Boga, at Lake Boga, #victoria , #australia . The lake was once used and a landing and take off area for flying boats and there was a flying boat maintenance facility there during WWII as it was considered to be out of reach of Japanese aircraft advancing on Australia from the north.

It's been quite stormy here for the last day or so, and apparently three cows decided to take the bus home last night rather than walk in the rain. 😁

A mobile app on all bus routes in the Klang Valley will be launched later this year to provide a smoother and more efficient service.

The mobile app is currently in the data collection phase.

It is being jointly developed by Rapid Bus, Kuala Lumpur City Hall (which runs free GoKL buses) and the Selangor government (for its Smart Selangor buses).

Just bought train+bus tix from Melbourne to Lorne in December, for a brief holiday for @NarrelleMHarris and myself. Still very impressed with the $10 fare cap across Victoria - this trip used to cost more than double that.

#Victoria #Train #Bus #PublicTransport

Screenshot of ticket purchase confirmation, with each journey set at $10.

Mother & child, both newcomers to the city, didn't know to push the rear door open to get off a #bus... (They're Chinese like me. In East Asia, the exiting doors are opened by the driver. And yes, I did help them out.) I'm wondering if those driver-activated customer-operated doors have any real benefit over having the driver open the exit doors? It appears to increase the time needed to deboard, which seems too much over the supposed benefit of discouraging some fare evasion... #PublicTransport

Ich selbst fühle mich sehr unwohl wenn ich sehe, dass jemand der eigentlich einen Sitzplatz braucht stehen muss weil ich auch Platz brauche. Ich wurde meinerseits andauernd angerampelt
KVG #Lüneburg ist dies seit Jahren egal. Es verkehren unterschiedliche Busse, es steht nicht im Fahrplan wie groß der Rollstuhl-rollaror-kinderwagen-Berreich ist. Ist immer Überraschung ob Mensch mitfahren kann.

Nur: es gibt derzeit ein Notfahrplan in Lüneburg, die Busse fahren so selten, stark frequentierte Linie nur alle 30min, dass ich den Bus unbedingt nehmen wollte .
Ich war gerade in Hamburg. diesbezüglich sieht es viel besser aus, es gibt Platz für mehrere Rollstühle Nebst Kinderwagen in den meisten Bussen.

The early 90s marked the end of a decades-long era of state-owned regional #transit agencies in the #Netherlands. This system was pretty inefficient overall, but some top-down efforts were made to gain at least some economies of scale. One of them was a standardized regional #bus "standaardstreekbus", seen in this #photo I took in 1990. There were many variations on the design and they were built by a number of companies. This one was built by Den Oudsten, probably in the early 1980s.

If you think (rightly) that any real attempt to meet #netzero requires a major element of #publictransport then the plight of the UK's cities is indicative of our coming failure to effect anything that might plausibly look like a #greentransition.

The questions are:

how can we reverse decades of under-investment & car-focussed policies in the time we have left to have any chance of ameliorating the #ClimateCrisis?

and can our creaking #bus system take up the slack?

It does not look good!

Really interesting initative in the West of England -- free bus travel in the month of your birthday. The idea is reach new potential passengers. The Swedish city of Gothenburg trialled boosting the share of public transport in 2019 with free two-week passes, and the results showed that around 20% of those receiving free tickets have become regular users of public transport as a result.

I'm going to try _a thing_. There are two related phenomena regarding #cars and #PublicTransport that I basically never see discussed. I wrote an article about these two things which includes two very clear definitions. I want to see if I can get some reach to disseminate these two things like a mind virus.

Boost if you like. Or don't. I'm not your boss.

The premise: when you own a #car, it is cheaper to drive the car. But: we want to get people out of their cars, even while they still own cars.

The definitions:

- Sunk cost discount: for as long as you own a car, it is cheaper relative to public transport to use that car for individual journeys, even though you would save money if you got rid of the car and exclusively used public transport.

- Trip cost scaling problem: for each additional passenger taking a journey together, the cost per passenger becomes lower when travelling by car, but higher when travelling by public transport.

My sister lives in a small town in the lost countryside of Brazil

While there, her and my BIL met an older gentleman.

The older gentleman is from a Germanic family. Many people in that region of Brazil are. Thus, he has a Germanic surname.

Unfortunately for him. That surname is 'Porn'.

I don't know if that surname means anything somewhere in central #europe -- Doesn't matter for the intents of this silly little story.

Mr. Porn, see, owns a small business that drives people around in busses and vans. — A — Transportation business.

Sometimes. The #towerOfBabel bestows a gift upon humanity.

If you're in #Vancouver and waiting at a #bus stop, take a close look at the bus shelter advertising frame - there may be a #camera hidden in there. Feel free to cover it up.
