 Transit of Venus Bibliography - 17th century   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Although current planetary ephemerides predicted that Mercury would be in conjunction with the Sun on 29 May, a violent thunderstorm in the evening and the night of the 27th suggested that Mercury was closer to its solar conjunction than the calculations had indicated.
The transit of Mercury was successfully observed by the French astronomer Pierre Gassendi (1592-1655) in Paris, by Jean-Baptist Cysat (1588-1657) in Innsbruck and by Johannes Remus Quietanus in Rouffach.
According to modern calculations, the transit actually ended about 50 minutes before sunrise (7:35 UT) at Paris although observers in most of Italy and along the Eastern Mediterranean should have been able to view the last stage of the transit.

 Light Rail Now! NewsLog - Light Rail Transit News
Transit opponents persistently try to denigrate the importance of public transport – especially rail transit llines – in urban areas by comparing the ridership of single lines to all the travel in a gigantic region, thus diluting the apparent impact of the transit service.
Frankfurt's legacy tramway network (dating historically from 1872) is one of the most extensive in Europe, totalling over 119 km (74 miles), of which about 56 km (35 miles) are higher-performance, semi-metro light rail (Stadtbahn, then U-bahn in the city center) and about 63 km (39 miles) are surface tramway (Strassenbahn, or streetcar system).
Frankfurt has been one of the world leaders in exploiting the flexible potential of the light rail mode, relying on its capability to operate like an U-bahn (subway) in tunnels and other grade-separated alignments, in segregated alignments in the medians of major arterials (with signal-control traffic crossings), and in street reservations and even mixed traffic.
