A symmetrical set of escalators in the tube station "Battersea Power Station". The architecture is sleek and industrial, featuring geometric concrete panels and bright overhead lighting. The reflective surfaces and metal railings contribute to a futuristic and minimalist aesthetic. Electronic signboards displaying train schedules are visible in the background. The station appears empty, emphasizing its clean and structured design.

I don't know how long this has been broken but looks like another escalator has borked on Melbourne's public transport network. This time at Melbourne Central Station.

Hopefully it doesn't take as long to fix as Box Hill!

WANT!!! 😬 Sydney pull your traffic socks up :bill:
"Once dominated by Fiat's auto factories, Turin has transformed itself into a public transport and biking heaven in the last 20 years. It's crisscrossed by 80 bus routes, 8 tram lines, 22 subway stations, and 258 km of bike lanes. Some 95% of Turin residents now live within 300 meters of a transit stop, and fewer than half of local trips happen in a car."

Turin, Italy's Motor City, Is Making Room for Bikes and Transit

The manufacturing hub is the home of Italy’s biggest automaker. But as the industry recedes, the city has been expanding its bike and transit infrastructure.

The mayor of Kuala Lumpur nails it! Climate funding must empower the Global South to build equitable transport systems and "BiodiverCities."

Floppy Discs still run a U.S. Metro? Japan steps in with 'Project kill Floppy'.

Yes, we're talking about the good old floppy disk, which is somehow still being utilized for something as important as a critical function of a public transport network within a major city’s.

San Francisco's Muni Metro could be finally getting ready to wave goodbye to the antiquated and archaic floppy disk-based train control system. To make matters worse, the current tech used within the infrastructure communicates via wire loops, a system prone to disruptions and as sluggish as a dial-up modem, which doesn't help the network's regular train delays and a whole lot of commuter frustration​. And if something breaks down, is a spare part needed? They've had to be scrounged off online marketplaces such as eBay and borrowed from other transit agencies. I don't think it gets any more cutting edge than that. Looking to replace the old system, Muni Metro will adopt a brand-new, shiny communications-based train control (CBTC) system. This move aims finally to drag the Muni Metro kicking and screaming into not just the modern age with Wi-Fi and cellular technology, but through a portal in time when the Nintendo Game Boy Color was at the cutting-edge technology during that time period.

S.F. Muni Will Spend $212M to Move Train Control Off Disk

San Francisco’s Municipal Transportation Agency has approved a contract with Hitachi Rail for a new train control system. The replacement will move the Muni Metro off 1998 technology that runs on floppy disks.

Despite hopes UK's National Planning Policy Framework's explicit requirement that public transport links should be part of decisions for new development, over the last decade the need for car use for those living on new development has remained broadly the same - the Framework has had no real impact in this regard.

If we are to manage a green transition we know we need more extensively used public transport... homes need to be near links!

So we ran into an exhibit of old timey trams on the Szabadság Bridge. I took some photos for all y'all who followed me for the training tram pictures 😆

This one was made in 1908 and restored in 1987.

Billboard with info (translated from Hungarian) European Week of Mobility 611 wood frame trame, type S Manufactured in 1908 in the Schlick factory Altogether 130 trams like this were made This car was salvaged in 1975 and restored in 1987
Photo of an old wood frame tram, painted brown, white and orange, with the number 611 on the front. Doors are a waist-high metal lattice that open and close by hand. In the background part of the green metal bridge structure is visible, and behind it Gellért Mountain.
Photo of the inside of the tram, drivers window. Very few parts, one bell button, two hand cranks, wood frames on the windows. Beyond, the bridge and the mountain are visible.
