Talk:Passenger information

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ÖPNV-Sonderformen. "ÖPNV special transport". According to the German article on the subject, ÖPNV-Sonderformen refers to any form of public transportation for which the passenger determines the times and places of departure and arrival. The most well know form is the taxi. No equivalent English term springs to mind to describe this subset.

...die Flügelung von Zügen. "...the partitioning of trains". The practice is to partition a single train into smaller units part way through the trip. The smaller units become part of other trains and all go their separate ways. I once found myself in Venice at three in the morning because I boarded the wrong car on a train all of which I though would end up in Vienna.

Aus Angst vor Kritik zögern hier die meisten Anbieter.. "Most providers hesitate here from fear of criticism.". It's unclear to me why providers would fear criticism for making version comparison easier for their customers. I suspect I may be missing the point here.

Merkbarkeit. "memorability". The article on this noun seems to indicate that it could also mean "readability" or maybe "succinctness". http://dict.leo.org returns no translation for it.
