Viby Torv - DSC_1347_Balanced

Viby Torv with Hotel Mercur (left), Viby Centret (mall, the low building) and the bak- and office building (right). Looking across from Skanderborgvej. From a registrant photowalk series made for the local historical society. The purpose of these walks is not to take photos of individual buildings, but rather to document the streets as a whole in order to preserve the views for future generations. Some houses will inevitably be obscured behind fences and hedges. In such cases, there will be a photo of the hedge or fence in question. The photo will, of course, be rubbish, but it will accurately show the best possible view from a public road. Over the years, fences and hedges will come and go (as will the houses), sometimes improving the views, other times, the opposite. I've made every attempt to blur visible names, faces and license plates, in order to respect people's privacy.

Viby Torv, Midttrafik billetautomat endelig i drift - DSC_1346_Balanced

Bus ticket machine, Viby Torv. What's so special about this, you may ask? Well... it's actually working! Back in 2011 a new citybus network was introduced in Aarhus. Part of that project involved the purchase of several ticket machines, like this one, to be placed at traffical key points in Aarhus. But there was a small problem: the new machines didn't work... something about technical incompatabilities, they said... but they were working on it, and all should soon be solved. Some time passed... the tech guys were still "working on it" and some progress was apparently being made. To prove the point, it was decided to set up the first machine, on Viby Torv (yes, this one), so that the system could undergo the final tests. So Viby got the first machine... hoorah! After a few days of testing, the system crashed completely, and it was back to the drawing board for the techs. Meanwhile, the poor machine just sat there, saying "out of order" Every now and then the media would write about these pesky machines, and ask if they would ever be fixed. And every time the answer would be along the lines of "we hope to have them ready very soon" Well, in february 2014 it finally happened, after a delay of 2Â½ years, the ticket machine on Viby Torv became operational and soon after the other ones were installed around the city. So if you ever visit Arhus and use one of these machines, remember to appreciate the experience - it was a long and hard birth!. Bus ticket machine, Viby Torv.
