Population increases
Eventually, everyone has to move
BAD
The solution: Mass transport
but... didn't we try this yet?
GOOD?
BETTER?
What has tochange today?
Find ways to betterinform commuters in time
What has tochange today?
Commuting should becomefun, social & interactive
For instance...
Combine train info with locationbased check-in services
How hard can it be?
What has tochange today?
Give us the "GPS experience".
We already have the math
Stop investing in intermodal journey planning
We already have theroute planners
But, does someone havethe data?
Public transport companies have a hard timecollecting the data themselves
iRail needed 1.5y to get 2 datasets
Points of action
1. Get all your data together
2. Share your data for reuse
Thank you for your attention
