Who goes first? Person disembarking bus or the bicycle? In Greece, where I am from, we don't have bicycles as a means of going to work, like for example in Germany (what a paradox given the weather!), the country I visit now. So, there are bicycle lanes on the pavement, to the side of the street. When the bus stops, y...	And generally, vehicles must yield to pedestrians doing normal pedestrian things that they are entitled to do, like use a bus stop.

Without dates, how can I find out - efficiently and freely - when an airline's flying a route? Say I want to visit somewhere like Osaka for 2 weeks, and am flexible on dates the whole year.

And, I have no enough money for pay an hotel, so I want to sleep in airport, but in airside area, a...	On some airports, it is illegal. I've passed through security in multiple countries (including the US, Japan and the UAE) on multiple occasions with a boarding pass for a flight that was scheduled to depart several hours before I was entering - always without issue.
Does Google Maps take into account hills/inclines for route times? I understand that Google Maps works out travel times based on the speed limit for the road and the current traffic on the road. (When selecting the driving function). When using the cycling/walking function, I assume it works out the travel times by us...	tl:dr yes google maps is aware of elevation changes and does try to take that into account, but doesn't fully account for the increased work required to climb a gradient.
How can I leave a car for someone if we can't meet in person? I'm doing a house swap with another family, and as part of the logistics, at a certain point I have to leave my car for them, and they will pick it up a few days later.

Do pedestrians imitate automotive traffic? I'm from the USA, where we drive on the right side of the street.

Pedestrians approaching each other on the foot path avoid collision, typically, by veeri...	So, if you are in Australia then you aren't likely to run into problems if you veer to the left. There are countries where pedestrians pass each other on the left, which generally also drive on the left.

Why do cheap flights with a layover get more expensive when you split them up into separate flights? I have found some cheap flights from London to Tokyo on Google Flights which I plan to purchase. However, the flight has a layover - the legs are London to Moscow, then Moscow to Tokyo. I thought that, rather than spe...

The specific answer concerning your flight is that yesterday there were abnormally fast westerly winds over the mid-north-Atlantic, which many eastbound flights took advantage of.
