Wait, the traffic control center of Wiener Linien can directly send spoken traffic information messages directed towards passengers to the vehicles. That’s a cool feature! (My tram was the cause for it, but still, cool feature).

The tram fan inside me found a traditional high floor tram! Which makes Wien the second city in the world where I have been in a high floor Wiener Bim, after Utrecht 😄

Tram with high floor and folding doors, and a trailer car.

The neighbourhood in Rotterdam I live in has a density of 19816,2 inhabitants/km2, which is comparable with some of the statistics of some of the sections of Wien, but somehow this city feels much more dense with their higher buildings. Also very interesting mix of older very decorated buildings […]

Yesterday I did meet two Dutchies cycling through Wien; there is even a sign in the hotel elevator about e-bike charging facilities. However, at some places it does feel like kamikaze here :neocat_googly_shocked:

GVB scrapped the tram on the Ferdinand Bolstraat and Vijzelgracht/Vijzelstraat. The city of Amsterdam would really like a tram there, and asked GVB for a solution. They came up with “when line 17 returns to the Rozengracht, what if we don’t raise the frequency of line 2 and 12 in Leidsestraat […]

And somehow the living quarters in Wien remind me of Södermalm and Norrmalm in Stockholm, they use a lot of pretty but also archaic feeling fonts around here. And the city is car infested and solved that with a functional metro.

Intermediate conclusion to only my second overnight visit to Austria ever: they have very well skilled engineers, but the country seems to have lost their interest in presenting their engineering in design some decades ago.

Why isn’t there like an European standard for how to design information displays in transit vehicles, instead of each operator (or best case scenario land) finding out the broken wheel again?

Nürnberg Hbf was designed on “how much trains should fit in a station” and not in “where do we put all the passengers that want to take a train.” :woozy_neocat_googly:

I am under the impression that DB doesn’t actually know where their diverted trains are and that is confusing a lot of people at the moment.

At first I was more interested in the Altbau locomotive with zebra striping, but the 189 locomotive at the front of the train is still in that weird yellow colour from Siemens Dispolok, which is probably even rarer nowadays.

Modern electric locomotive in yellow and gray, with behind an older locomotive in white with blue zebra striping in front of a multi modal cargo train.
