We're working on live public transport schedules as the first step to public transport routing. Here is the helper web app that shows currently supported GTFS feeds in different countries and cities and helps to match bus/tram/train stops from OpenStreetMap.org with stops from GTFS: https://gtfs-osm-matcher.organicmaps.app/
If you are interested in public transport schedules in your city, please let us know about feeds for your place/country, and help by adding/editing stops in OpenStreetMap.org

Anybody from #switzerland that can help here?
IIRC @andreasamsler worked on some open-transport-data before? (hi there, fellow colleague 😉 )

"More demand, but less money available" is hardly ever what you want to hear if you are trying to find funding for research. This is how the Swiss National Science Foundation deals with it in its most popular funding scheme (project funding).
Should be interesting news here for researchers in #Switzerland. Essentially, the already announced chances considered to project funding are now formally here:
- each researcher can have only one funded project running anymore at a time (plus one Lead/ Weave/ ICIS)
- for re-applying to the project funding after rejection, you now need to wait a year
- funding for salaries in the project capped at 200k/year (250k/year without salaries)
I do think, given the circumstances, these are sensible changes by the @SNF_ch - putting a bit of a brake on the overheating submission carousel. Some things that I find interesting to see now are:
- Will we be seeing more shenanigans with people being designated PIs for projects others basically write for them (already a problem anyhow with the eligibility rules and not being able to fund your own salary)?
- Will we be seeing more international collaboration applications within the Weave and Lead Agency schemes in particular?
- Will overall project sums for disciplines that are mainly requiring personnel, not equipment, actually go down? For example, I am a social scientist - beyond computing and travel, I mostly need people for projects, not microscopes.

Lesenswert! - Erst vorgestern habe ich etwas zum Netzwerk SDS gepostet und jetzt gibt es einen Artikel von Republik zum Thema. Danke @adfichter !

On my way from #Switzerland to #Barcelona by train, via #Paris, which is the fastest connection, and just shows how awfully centralized and star-shaped the French train network is.
Let's hope no more Spanish train wrecks today...
