>>1053303i'm from ulm. we recently had an online participation event to discuss local public transport for 2020 after the launch of our second streetcar line, see
http://www.zukunftsstadt-ulm.de/node/2986 . a lot of people participated and i was pleasantly surprised to realize just how many people are similarly autistic in regard to public transport. i mean they exist, this is germany and i read drehscheibe online, but even on a local level and among regular people a lot of folks have picked up on this.
the administration pretty much ignored all input though, which sucks. not happy with the result either. it's nice to get a second streetcar line, and if fucking neu-ulm weren't the utter bavarian retards they are we'd get a third one soon too, but the bus planning is subpar at best.
i get your grievances with the departure time. your proposal makes a lot of sense and it's a shame to see that nicely laid out ZOB underutilized. middle-sized cities in the vicinity of a large state capital can be in a very happy place if they play their cards right.
