“INFORMATION PORTAL ON
PUBLIC AND COLLECTIVE TRANSPORT IN THE BASQUE COUNTRY”
In order to promote sustainable mobility habits, and a universal access, the Basque Government has created this "Information Portal”. This portal is born as the “Global Web Site” to access the information available online on transport services. Our portal is essentially a web browser, by consulting these web sites, the citizen or visitor of the Region of the Basque Country may plan his/her trips prioritizing the use of collective transports. Therefore, this portal will mostly help you to locate collective transport web sites (buses, trains, etc.) and sustainable transport ways, as well as other resources to enable a sustainable use of the individual vehicle (dissuasive parking, carpooling…).
Browser of entities and other transport resources in the Region of the Basque Country. As for “entities”, we mean both transport operators and organizations that manage information on transport services, the latter being mostly public administrations or consortiums. As for “other transport resources”, we mean bicycle borrowing services, taxis, dissuasive parking, public elevators, carpooling…
Browser of inter-cities trips. It is most helpful for trips between different municipalities within the Region of the Basque Country, or from the Region of the Basque Country to the rest of the country or abroad. The browser is a trip planer. Select a minimum number of web sites to be visited for a given trip.
Browser for urban trips. It allows the user to see the travel possibilities within one municipality of the Region of the Basque Country by selecting the web sites to be visited to plan the trip within the chosen municipality.
In short, this portal facilitates the access to several current information portals. Besides, it may be seen as the embryo to develop a global information system including stronger tools, such a simulators that contain detailed information on the trip (trajectory, time, cost…) and tools to select among the transportation options depending on several criteria.
