#integratedtransport — Public Fediverse posts

Now, today's big news for travelers to and around the Upper Silesia-Zagłębie metropolitan area (that's the huge blob of mining and industrial cities around Katowice) - starting today, PKP Intercity tickets between a station in the GZM area and one outside of it include 120 minutes before departure or after arrival (in case of delay, have the conductor endorse your ticket) of tram/bus/trolleybus rides on all ZTM lines at no extra charge!

Additionally, holders of ZTM season tickets are now entitled to travel on all PKPIC trains, including the commercial EIC and EIP categories, within their ticket's validity area, without having to get a seat reservation, even on trains that otherwise require one.
A free reservation still has to be obtained before the journey to take a bike, otherwise a 20 PLN fee is charged on board. As conductors are not equipped with local smart card readers, people using one are required to carry a paper confirmation of ticket purchase. (This part is unlikely to be relevant to most people reading this, but do use this as proof such integration can be done after all!)

We went to the #IsleOfWight for a few days. That’s a fairly large #island south of the mainland of #GreatBritain off the coast of #Southampton and #Portsmouth. A thing that has improved a great deal since the bad old days is that #transport is more integrated and so I was able to purchase a direct ticket from my home #city to there and it included the #trains and the #ferry trips together.

I dream that one time in Poland there would be one transport authority for, say, each voivodeship, with one tariff and reasonable transport network... #publictransport #integratedtransport

Most debate about rail services is focussed on urban and long distance routes, but rail also has a role in rural transport networks.

Two years ago the #Exeter - #Okehampton line (#Devon, UK) reopened, and now provides an hourly 7-day service. Over half a million journeys have been made. Okehampton has become a hub for bus-rail connections and kiss-and-ride, extending the benefits of the rail service over a wide area of north Devon and Cornwall.

A new franchising system rolled out this week can address the damage done by decades of #deregulation

Integrated transport and cycle networks is such a beautiful and simple idea*. Who needs a car?

Off on a shelter tour by train and bike ...

*yes I know it doesn't always work perfectly, but when it does it's marvellous
