In the 1970s the Traffic Circulation Plan was introduced in the city of Groningen to reduce car traffic in the city center.
The 22 minute video shows that it was met with a lot of resistance, but 50 years later it is the foundation of why people love Groningen.
The plan was radical and »ridiculous«, but it worked.
»Er gaat niets boven Groningen« 🥂

Longest intercity bus journeys taken to date
As a companion to the earlier post on longest intercity railway journeys taken to date, here is a list of the longest intercity bus journeys taken by either charter/tour or commercial bus lines. The old Greyhound advertisement of “leave the driving to us” could not be more true in certain instances, especially overseas. The most scenic of the bus trips are shown in bold.
Peace!

Electromobility: Light e-trucks gain, a trend towards electric buses.
Figures from the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (Acea) for the European commercial vehicle market 2025 show that battery-electric commercial vehicles recorded a slight upward trend in Europe, with buses showing significant growth.

In Barcelona, certain buses run on biomethane produced from human waste.
For five years, researchers at Veolia − the company responsible for water distribution in Barcelona − have been working to recover sewage sludge in order to produce biomethane, a sustainable fuel that emits 80% less CO2 than natural gas.

About that BusBoard Prototype Systems SB4 board -- they're expensive. They're more than $6 each (Canadian) plus shipping from DigiKey. They're $10 each plus shipping from Mouser.
That's a lot for a hobbyist when you're experimenting, especially if you're making mistakes.
I looked around again recently, and couldn't find anything I liked at a reasonable price point.
So what does one do in this situation? Well, if you go Overkill 9000, you design your own prototyping perfboard and have a bunch manufactured for you! When you design your own, you can give it any features you like. So this one has:
18 x 36 (648 holes total)
It's two 18 x 18 sections, though I didn't have them scored for snapping.
A total of 6 horizontal busses in groups of 2, at the top and bottom plus one in the middle.
3 sets of 2 vertical busses within that space between horizontal bus sets, similarly edge - center - edge.
Then each row has a 6-hole pad on each side of the center 2 busses, which are spaced for IC or other standard 0.4" component layout.
Made of proper FR4 fiberglass. Good copper, good soldermask.
Silkscreened row and column IDs on both the front and back, at both the start and end of each row/column (and they match up with the back...).
And silkscreened boxes on the front showing the pad/buss pattern - no more flipping!
They arrived today and ... they're beautiful.

When building electronics project for permanent use - i.e. after testing on a solderless breadboard - you normally go to a #soldered perforated board of some type as a #prototype, or even for very-low-volume production.
There are different types of boards. I dislike "matrix" boards, which are just isolated pads on a grid, i.e. there are no connections between any of them. Some people swear by these; I swear at them.
I prefer protoboards that have multiple holes per pad (so you can connect multiple component leads without having to add an explicit wire jumper). If they've also got #busses - sets of pads that run the whole length or width of the board - so much the better!
Some are #crap: laminated paper PCBs where the pads lift off the board if you even try to desolder something you added. Row/column labels missing, or (like I found with some recently) that don't line up between the front and back of the board 😆 , or most egregiously, they don't actually show the pad pattern on the front of the board, so you have to keep flipping it to check your parts are correctly placed. One example below.
I have some from "BusBoard Prototype Systems" that I like. The SB4 is a 38 x 24 (912 hole) board that is #snappable into quarters. Two of the quarters have rows that are 4-hole, 2-hole, 4-hole. The other two are 5 2-hole pads. Both types have a single bus running along each of the 2 long sides.
But ...

Is the bus revolution coming?
In the rural areas, if we are to encourage expanded public transport use, then something is very overdue - whether new London-style franchises are the solution is difficult to say, but right now anything that likely improves the bus services in rural areas is worth doing.... whether English local authorities will do as well as Transport Scotland seem rot have done is another matter; but time will tell.

It’s taken me 3 weeks to get around to the editing (for… “reasons”) but my #imberbus video is finally up.

We took a train from Bristol to Warminster, then got on an old #routemaster #bus to the abandoned village of #Imber
We spent the rest of the day pootling around Salisbury Plain on various vintage #busses - it was a lot of fun!
