Speaking of public transportation, though: If it works, then it’s an amazing system. I love it.

I recently took the time to find an alternative route to one of my doctors. Hardly any people using that route and it’s faster. Absolutely brilliant. It’s like having a chauffeur. 😅

But navigating through that system is also a total nightmare. Which bus takes you to which places at which times, getting info about current construction sites, all that stuff. It takes forever.

And it doesn’t help at all that this is what their website looks like:

You can’t move that window at the bottom. It just sits there and takes up space from the map. It gets even worse: When you ask for a route, you get to see the buses and individual stops and all that – but all in that little window with that large font! Why do we all have widescreen monitors and than stack UI items vertically?

Sure, 30 years ago it was much worse. But it could also be much better today. 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, public transport is great if it works. All too often, it just doesn’t, though. :-( Unfortunately, for my trips to the offices, it’s always slower than a car.

That website looks like one I would build. :‘-D I just always go to bahn.de. It even works alright if the train is operated by another company. At least it’s good enough for my connections (VVS, Arverio, Ding & Co.). When GoAhead took over the line from DB, their delay/cancel information on their own website were just as bad as the one relayed by DB most of the time.
