Michael Lettenmeier replied to Nora Brüggemann's discussion Why should riding the bus be so complicated? in the group Moving
"If buses cannot follow their time tables, we should make buses faster or smoother and not finnish the timetables. Nobody is obliged to read the timetables but for those who read them they are quite often really useful."

"In terms of parking space this looks really nice, especially when comparing it to the city monsters driving around. But in total I am not sure if a car-based city mobility system can have a sustainable future. What do you think?"
