Weekly Digest: Car-free cities, Restful API, etc

[richfab]

📣 Your weekly GBFS news update! 🚲 🛴 🛵 🚘

💬 New issues in discussion:

• ✂️ Restful API for filtering and pagination (#617)
• 🚘 Future availability of all vehicles in the system (#616) to support carshare

The National Carshare Day in France was inspiring to move towards car-free cities. A car in car-sharing replaces 5 to 8 private cars (source). And GBFS can help with visibility by enabling data exchanges between carshare operators and trip planners.

As a reminder, 🕐 Opening hours format (#328) is still looking for its First Adopter. Consume v3 feeds from Check (NL), Flamingo (NZ) or TIER (FR).

Why do we do all this? This photo is an ad in Avignon’s streets showing the before/after of a beautiful square ✨To have car-free cities, people need alternatives.

👋 See you next week!
