The document discusses iRail's vision of making public transportation data open and accessible to increase public transport ridership by 100% by 2025. Their vision is based on frustrations with the lack of multi-modal route planning, boring commutes, and insufficient transportation information available. iRail's vision is to make transportation data open through open data and open source approaches to increase transparency. They have created several tools and apps already like BeTrains.com and iRail.be to work towards this vision and provide real-time transportation information to the public.
