This week we’re joined by Professor Ralph Buehler of Virginia Tech, who talks with us about the German transport concept of Verkehrsverbund.

We had a request for the transcript for this episode so decided to try out some auto generating software.  Needless to say I don’t think the software is there yet as it took about 3 hours to clean it up.  But with that being said we have this one available after the jump.  We might do some in the future by popular request but it’s not likely to happen for every episode of Talking Headways unless we get a transcript sponsor. <hint hint>

There’s danger in creating “walled gardens” in transportation: A “walled garden” is a technology platform that limits the options available to a user to ones curated by the company (think Amazon’s Kindle or Apple’s App Store). David Zipper argues there is a real danger of limiting transportation choice when ride hailing companies, for example, create walled gardens that could push out other options such as public transit.

This last Tuesday we released our new show, Monday’s at The Overhead Wire, a review of the top news on TheOverheadWire.com each week.  I co-host the show with some great folks each week talking about transportation and planning and hopefully we have a little fun. It’s called Mondays because we record at my house on Monday evening.

If you’re subscribed to the Talking Headways podcast you’ll get it in your feed as we’re releasing them on Tuesday.  I’m hoping that in the future we can add a show or two more on the Talking Headways Podcast Network. I’m looking forward to hearing what people think.
