Field notes

What the timetables leave out.

One note for each of the 177 places we have researched, and three pieces on how the research is done. Every figure links to where we saw it and says what year that was.

Any city, town, village or locality. The note is built from what we hold: what the place is, what is there, how you reach it, what the planner can route – and, where nobody has researched local transport yet, it says so and points to the nearest place where someone has.

On the method

Three pieces on how the research is done.

  1. 29 September 2026

    The transport that never makes a timetable

    A boat that comes when you phone, a Sumo that leaves when the seats are full, a ferry that is really a piece of road. What we found in 177 places, and how we wrote it down.

    How a sailing actually gets cancelled

    Not by the weather. By a person with a rule: a coastguard with a tonnage table, a tide, a bridge company with a monthly sheet, a fare widget that asks where you live.

    What we could not find out

    1,384 things we looked for and did not find, written down next to the things we did. Most of them say as much about the internet as about the places.

The places

One note for every place, by country.

Each note is written from the place’s own entry in our data: what it is, every way of moving there and around it, the operators, the seasons, the permits, the fares with the year we saw them, and what we could not confirm. Countries with the most notes come first; the count after each place is its ways of moving.

How these are written

Showing the working.

  1. 01
    Every figure is a citation

    The numbers in the margin of each note point at an entry in our local-transport data: the place, the option, and every source we read for it, with its date.

  2. 02
    Fares carry the year we saw them

    A fare seen in 2019 is a floor, not a price. The year sits next to the number, and old ones are marked.

  3. 03
    What we could not confirm is printed too

    Each entry ends with what the researcher looked for and did not find, and where to ask instead. Those go on the page in the researcher's words.

  4. 04
    Every place note leads somewhere

    To its place page, to the route guides from the cities you would leave from, to the planner for today, and to the next place along.
