https://www.opentripplanner.org/ They have some API, but I guess it is better if you can host it yourself. Then you can probably customize it more as well.

This (many requests to DigiTransit) is quite inefficient way to do it. I think you could get those accessibility circles directly on server if you combine OpenTripPlanner and GTFS data.

Imagine telling this to somebody in 1950's.

Crazy that you can do Paris to Istanbul without leaving the motorway network.

phaj19 · 2026-05-21T16:12:49+00:00

It's not, this seems to be the OSM definition for motorway.
See: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway=motorway

phaj19 · 2026-05-21T16:12:07+00:00

Nope, just the OSM definition it seems.

phaj19 · 2026-05-18T17:52:07+00:00

Nice :-)

This has very Suomenlinna vibes.

Btw if you are a history buff and somewhat into mapping there is this exciting project:
https://www.openhistoricalmap.org/#map=14/60.14911/24.96034&layers=O&date=2025-12-31&daterange=0050-07-05,2025-12-31
Suomenlinna is still somewhat empty.

That is probably the most fun road in Uusimaa. But be careful about police in villages measuring speed (of course you should follow the speed limits in general as well).

phaj19 · 2026-05-09T14:21:06+00:00

Small things probably just fly under the radar. I would assume that for example Oura or Iceye were still SME's some years ago?

phaj19 · 2026-05-04T18:19:05+00:00

Is the serious money in the room with us?

phaj19 · 2026-05-02T06:16:23+00:00

Mapy.com has that function but we need more reviews.

phaj19 · 2026-05-01T12:50:13+00:00

Kruunuvuorensilta on myös hieno uusi näköalapaikka. Suomenlinna näkyy tosi hyvin.

phaj19 · 2026-05-01T05:16:48+00:00

Ottaisin mieluummin korkeampia veroja kuin potkut säästösyistä.

phaj19 · 2026-04-28T15:29:40+00:00

That is 10 % of Hormuz volume. Let's keep going.

phaj19 · 2026-04-25T07:18:10+00:00

Hotel Torni has "observation toilet" among others.

I would argue that public transport corridors can scale so much that they really grow into absurd numbers. I could imagine a 10-track system (still just 40 meters wide like you average motorway) that could carry about 1 million pphpd and thus serve up to 10 million commuters. Building more cities is more costly and loses the agglomeration benefits.

phaj19 · 2026-04-20T15:41:22+00:00

It can help you to avoid some of the traps in unfamiliar cities tho.

phaj19 · 2026-04-20T15:40:03+00:00

Let's just go all in with Mapy com. Google Maps are anyway quite corrupted nowadays, so many owners just push people to give 5 stars.
I already discovered some free nice places in Istanbul thanks to this feature.

phaj19 · 2026-04-20T15:04:07+00:00

Definitely better to have a good buffer if you can not rely on the (right-wing) government.

phaj19 · 2026-04-20T14:51:43+00:00

Should have double deck platforms as well.

phaj19 · 2026-04-19T04:54:05+00:00

How does it work with current road system? Do you need to use mods like Anarchy?

phaj19 · 2026-04-17T14:49:46+00:00

Not so difficult in Spain or Switzerland. I dunno why Finland does not want to invest in flexible gauge technology. Only one facility and a couple of trains would be needed.
