A magnificent public transport experience to Ellis Park! On Gautrain at 13:48 via Sandton, arrived at Park Station 8 mins later. Excellent security, friendly PRASA Group stewards showing us to platform 7, arrived at Ellis Park Station at 14:19. First beer: 14:24. Bravo!

We took the Gautrain from Hatfield to Parkstation, then took the free PRASA train to Ellis Park Stadium, and wow! This was a seamless and well organised event! Places were clean, friendly staff, police presence. Joburg felt like a world class African city. 🇿🇦#Springboks #RSAvNZL

With so many rail lines being recovered, let's build on this momentum by: - Aggressive new-build rail expansion - Last-mile public transport expansion - Integrated ticketing across modes of transport - Expand connecting bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure

I noticed that "trams" are mentioned in draft Volume 1: Cape Town CBD Transition Plan Contextual Analysis City of Cape Town : "It has long been debated as to whether the old tram should be reinstated (or at least part thereof). However, this idea has not been explored in much detail."

Permitting motorists to turn right on a red light at most urban and suburban intersections is deadlier for pedestrians. We’ve known this for 40 years.

The first time I drove here I immediately thought noor man. The speed limit is incongruent with the design, and the design is incongruent with the area the road passes through. It was an odd experience and mostly left me concerned for the safety of all road users.

Some may recall that in June 2022 I posted about a Wynberg High learner who used the train daily to school. His name’s Alex. This week Alex contacted me to take a train with him. Today was that day. Alex is the face of Cape Town Train Stories. Now a 1st year Law student at UCT.

Savannah received a grant through the Biden/Harris Admin's Reconnecting Communities & Neighborhoods Program (RCN) to study removing I16, which divided the core of the city's Black community. I'm working w/ Bloomberg Philanthropies & the Local Infrastructure Hub to highlight RCN progress.

"Sometimes, a shop owner claims his business was ruined because the city removed 4 parking spaces. With surveys, our mayor can say: ‘6,000 more people pass your shop a day thanks to a new bike lane. Are you sure you’re a good businessman?’” — Jan Gehl in #Straphanger #Copenhagen
