How connected is your local rail network to other transport nodes such as buses and metros? If it was connected, were the connections ever promoted by your local transport authorities?

While the situation in south Florida is mediocre, it at least is connected. The commuter rail, Tri-Rail, connects with Metrorail, Miami's elevated train, and they even share the same fare card. However, they connect at a really inconvenient station northwest of where most people might go in Miami. But a ride can then ride south to Government Center to switch onto Metromover, which is a people mover which has a topology of a small circle with extensions, for the most downtown area of Miami. And Miami has far more buses than the rest of the metropolitan area. Buses to and from most Tri-Rail stations are sparse.
I have no idea if local transport authorities have ever promoted this stuff, but they do at least reduce your fares for a small subset of transfers.

Pretty well connected I'd say. Most train stations have a bus stop, some trains stations are also bus stations, and some are "Rail and Bus Centres".

Plus fares are improving to allow for a lot of connections from bus to train to bus, allowing you to use feeder busses from where you live to the train, and then using city centre busses at the other end.

Can you use a single ticket to travel on bus and rail for a single journey or is the ticketing separate for each mode?

>the tariff system explicitly allows you to use every mode of transport within your tariff zones except for the meme """"""""""""""""schnellbus"""""""""""""" that will be abolished in the next 5 years anyway
i think it's pretty well connected tßh

Separate ticketing for single tickets.

That said, you can get a variety of tickets which will cover multiple modes.
With Translink, there are 5 modes:
N I Railways (trains services inside of NI)
Enterprise (intercity train to Dublin, jointly operated with Irish Rail)
Metro (Belfast city bus services)
Ulsterbus (bus services outside of Belfast)
Goldline (long distance express bus services using coaches)

There are an additional 2 modes which are partially covered by tickets from Translink:
Bus Éireann (long distance bus service operated by CIÉ)
Irish Rail/Iarnród Éireann (validity on Irish trains varies depending on the ticket)

A single ticket on an NIR or Enterprise train to Belfast will include a free transfer onto the Metro bus services to the City Hall. A single ticket on a NIR train to Derry~Londonderry will include a transfer onto a bus from the train station to the bus station on Foyle Metro (previously branded as Ulsterbus Foyle). An Enterprise single ticket will include a free transfer onto the DART/Commuter in Dublin to Dublin Pearse.

Outside of these examples, tickets such as PlusBus, mLink, aLink and a few other tickets for tourists have validity on other modes as appropriate. Final point, if you have a Monthly Ticket for NIR or for Goldline or an aLink, you have free unlimited travel on the whole Translink network. Last thing, if you have a Goldline or an NIR ticket of any kind, it will be valid on the other mode after 18:30.

Finally, Translink are pushing for an Oyster/OV-Chipkaart/Octopus/Suica card type smart card system to replace the thermal paper tickets it currently does.

In Jakarta ,transport integration is a mess
while the commuter train had it’s own ticketing system.
The BRT forces you to get one of the e-payment cards from several banks and it could cost you 2-5$ and with one card multiple people can use it by tapping the card several times
The City Gov’t is currently testing Ok-Otrip, A e-card that integrates BRT and the Minivans, it is currently being tested on 6 routes
Basically you don’t need to pay after tagging the card for the 3rd time and after that the other transfers are free i think

Why does your city rely on minivans for public transport?

Each train station has at least one or two buses connected to it. Major stations often have 5-6 or even more bus routes.

Inner/middle suburbs are much better, with trams, buses, and even other train stations connecting to other lines. Outer suburbs have infrequent buses going to their train stations, so most people just drive and park their car there.

There are definitely enough interchanges. The problem is that the timetables of national railways and local transport don't fit each other at all. That of course isn't a problem in the city during the day. Buses and trams depart every ten to fifteen minutes.

But try to come home with the last train of the night, which arrives 4 (four) minutes before the night busses depart from the central bus terminal - 700m away from the train station. For me that either means walking all the way home, waiting an hour for the next bus, or sprinting a little over a kilometer in six minutes with all the baggage I have on me, plus possible intoxication. This plan basically depends on the night bus being a few minutes late.

Or take pic related for example. Trains in both directions arrive and depart very close to the top of the hour and the half hour in this town. Yet bus departures are spread out evenly over the course of an hour. Sometimes there's just like three busses per day. That means depending on your route, you're stuck waiting 45 minutes or more for the next bus, just because the transport authority is too shitty to come up with a sensible timetable.

It would be so great if all those busses arrived shortly before the first train and departed shortly after the second. Just enough time to change to wherever you want to go.

Overall pretty well by it's getting harder and harder to connect to/from piers, especially with various alternative mode of transportation across water, most notably bridges and tunnels are now available in the area so ferries are no longer needed in most situations. Improved road network also rendered reliever ferry services as redundant in most regular situation

Very well connected. There is a bus station next to my rail station. The metro is also a short walk away.

Virtually all trains in this area, most of the bus lines, especially in the vicinity of Prague and all of the Prague public transport (buses, trams, metro, funicular, ferries) can be hypotetically used with only one single ticket, since they are all part of prague integrated transport system.

Bordeaux, france. It's alright, but the new LGV connecting Paris to Bordeaux in 2 hours really hurt the tramway system by bringing a ton of new people. this demographic peak makes taking the tram a hassle when it was ok before

Basically the whole country.
https://www.sbb.ch/en/station-services/railway-stations/trafimage/trafimage-karten.html

The GA travelcards, Half-Fare cards, and other passes are valid on most forms of transport.
https://www.sbb.ch/content/dam/sbb/de/pdf/abos-billette/abonnemente/ga/karte-geltungsbereich-ga-halbtax_en_barrierefrei.pdf.download.pdf

There are also multiple local networks, that offer tickets and passes including networks of bordering countries (e.g. Liechtenstein, Austria, Germany, France). The tickets are most often zone-based.

The absolute state of SPT now. If you don't have a Zonecard, the linking is atrocious. And even then the Zonecard scheme is non intuitive.

Britfags owe it to themselves to fill out the BRR fares consultation.

I'm sure there are Glasgow commuters from within the last 5 years who have never heard of SPT.
