I’m a huge fan of Germany’s experiment with public transport this summer: 9€/month for unlimited local transit across the entire country? Bravo! Strangely, though, I’ve not really taken advantage of it, other than my trips to the airport, I’ve been out to the northern end of the S1 (Oranienburg), the northern end of the S25 […] I’m a fan of public transit – and expanding rail networks, much like has happened in Denver. Denver opened its G-Line on April 26, 2019 – and I happened to be in Denver for it. I did not ride it that Friday or Saturday, but Sunday morning I happened to pass by one of […] For the last nine years, my normal commute has comprised a 500 meter walk, followed by a 20ish minute bus ride, and 280 meter walk. It is also super convenient because it gives me a single seat ride with reasonable walks at the beginning and end of my trips. I’m able to read books, listen […] I actually uttered this words on a bus earlier this year. I was somewhere random and needed to go somewhere else random and, like magic, there happened to be a bus that connected the two points. You might think that this is a one off, but the professionals at BVG, the Berlin Public Transit Group, […] Strausseefähre – F39 – Docked on the town side. You can see the overhead power supply, and the cable guides. For reasons that I would rather not go into right now, a couple weeks ago I did some research on Strausberg – the far east end of Berlin’s S-Bahn S5 route. While doing […] I feel a bunch of rants coming on – so in no particular order: First: On Facebook I hate people who send out blanket invitations to every event they’re hosting or interested in. News Flash: I don’t feel special – or actually “invited” – when all 1,000 of your friends are invited. Actually, come to […] Wednesday, after work, I wandered through parts of Mitte — coming up with a few photographs. This is the entrance to the future “U-Unter den Linden” along Friedrichstrasse. The new station will replace U-Französiche Strasse, once the extension of the U5 opens, thus creating an interchange station between the new U5 and the U6. […] View from my hotel room in Seoul — third floor of the Hotel Manu. I would stay at Hotel Manu again. My trip from Berlin to Seoul was long – and while none of the travel, in and of itself, was stressful, by the time I got to Seoul Saturday evening, I was completely […] These two pictures should give away where I am in all of… oh… a minute.
Done guessing? I’m in Hong Kong. This is the start of my Asian Adventure – it’s a mild, easy, start: I took the long way here, flying via Tokyo on ANA. I had no […] M48 at Busseallee, the last stop. Or first. I take the bus to and from work, the M48. My commute costs me about 55€ a month – unlimited travel in the Berlin AB zones, whether on bus, tram, U-bahn, S-bahn, or regional trains. And ferries. I think it is an excellent value: I don’t […] |
