Mobile apps that help people travel by car have been serving drivers for years. But what about those who choose to go by bike or foot? Writing for @theverge, Allison Johnson describes her venture into cycling and where Komoot came in to help her find the best routes. https://flip.it/QUdyix #Tech#Commute#Bicycle#Apps
If, in years to come, anyone asks me for memories of my work time, of things that stood out or were unusual, I suspect the first thing which will come to mind is those rare days when the 05.17 was on time.
And the travel fun starts again. First report is that the 05.17 is running 20 minutes late. We'll probably have the platform change in 15 minutes, and the cancelation in 25.
"Two railway workers in California were fired by Caltrain after the company realized they had quietly converted unused offices into secret apartments to avoid the area's brutal commutes."
Thing that gets me is that they were working for a local mass transit company. One that carries commuters. And they still thought it brutal.
Went a bit mad with the panorama function on my iPhone this morning. I love sunrises and sunsets this time of year becuase they coincide with my commute to work.... #commute#sunrise#otagopeninsula#newzealand
A peaceful morning on the way to work. I usually don't like getting started in the mornings on Mondays. This was a good reminder to take a deep breath and slow down.
Some of you who like working in an office, but have a 90-minute commute to get there, would have a shorter and easier commute if the people who don't like working in that same office didn't have to.
Support remote work, even if you want to be on-site.
I'll never tire of the #Baltic Sea on my ride to work. Every season is so different. Even at -18C I must pause to admire the views. #Cycling#Commute#Winter
If that is where the wind must blow
then I will not cry as we part:
for there are places left to go
and now the sentence on my heart
has been commuted, I will stop
in all the places I have sinned
to weave a sail of suppler cloth
to catch the blowing of the wind.
Last year I travelled over 14000 km by rail (not including a couple of long journeys in Sweden or my light rail use). It’s about a third of the CO2 compared to using a car apparently. Sadly I have colleagues who have ditched rail travel for car due to woeful reliability of rail in the North of England. #commute#MultiModalTransport

@DemocracySpot thanks! That was Oct 20, 3 days later, winter arrived!
In your honour I went back to that folder and edited 4 more shots-- 3 from that same day and 1 from the 22, the Day Before Winter! #commute#landscape#Alberta#October#Autumn
