"EuroSPIN (European Seamless
Passenger Information Network) is part funded by the European
Commission’s ‘Telematics Applications Programme’."
"EuroSPIN is a two-year project to acquire and disseminate
seamless, multi-modal
public transport travel information using Internet technologies. The
project will design
and develop an intelligent system which will be capable of providing
arrival/departure
times, connecting services and journey plans to passengers using a
variety of
transport modes for metropolitan, regional, national, European and even
for global
levels.
With English, Finnish and Dutch participants this web site will soon be
available in
three languages."

"The Community of European
Railways (CER), created in 1988 and based in Brussels, brings together
the 25 main railway undertakings and rail infrastructure managing bodies
of the European Union plus Norway and Switzerland.
It promotes the development of railway transport as essential to the
creation of a transport system which is both efficient and
environmentally sound. In this respect it acts as the railways’
collective voice for decision-makers at EU-level."

Wohin
geht die Reise? Die Deutsche Bahn zwischen Krise und Unternehmen
Zukunft. Von Albert Schmidt / Karl-Heinz Rochlitz
|
Den Autoren zufolge produziert die
Deutsche Bahn AG im Fernverkehr am Markt vorbei. Sie setzt primär auf
den ICE, obwohl er gerade mal 80 Bahnhöfe anfährt und das
eigentliche Hochgeschwindigkeitsnetz, anders als z.B. in Frankreich,
nur ein paar kurze Strecken im Süden und in der Mitte Deutschlands
ausmacht.

Die USA gelten hinsichtlich des ÖPNV
als Entwicklungsland. Das stimmt nicht ganz: Bis in die 30er Jahre hin
gab es in Großstädten wie New York ein gut ausgebautes Straßenbahnnetz,
das weitestgehend abgerissen wurde. Mittlerweile ist in einigen
Ballungszentren wie im Großraum Boston, Mass., wieder ein ÖPNV eingeführt,
der allerdings eng verzahnt ist mit dem Individualverkehr. Bei den
Haltestellenangaben zu den U-Bahnlinien z.B. fehlen nicht Angaben zu
Parkmöglichkeiten, auch für Behinderte - und zu behindertengerechten
Einstiegsmöglichkeiten.
