We’re Han Solo today but no fear we’re flashing back to Episode 211 of the Talking Headways podcast where we chatted with Ralph Buehler about the topic of the German transport concept of Verkehrsverbund.  With a lot of talk of regional transportation networks and planning, I thought it might be worth a listen again five years later.
