Toward sustainable transportation: The Web/Transport interface

I would like to propose that anyone who might be interested here
could draw to our attention Web sites that might, eventually and
with some nudging and thoughtful use, actually help us to move
toward more sustainable transport systems.  Here is one to get us
going. (And it will also give you a chance to practice your
French.)

You may wish to note the breadth of coverage. Good as it is
though, we can note that there is not (yet!) a link to

* Taxis -- e.g., for Paris http://www.taxis-bleus.com/
* Strategic road information bulletins/warnings --
http://www.equipement.gouv.fr/bisonfute/circula.htm
* Or the real time road traffic monitor at
http://www.sytadin.tm.fr/home.html
* Or package delivery or courier services
* Or or

Still, you can see with these the whole direction in which this is
definitely heading.  Kind of interesting don't you think?

And if this begins to be interesting enough we could keep an
updated page on the best of them somewhere on our Web site...
especially if some of you urge us to do so.
