Urban mobility can be complex. But a birds-eye view shows us that the math of optimal use of road space is remarkably simple! 41 x 🚴 > 9 x 🚗. (📸 of Nørreport, #Copenhagen by Henrik Lundorf Nielsen)

i am begging for cities & elected leaders to actually look at data before committing $500 million dollars to things like reducing bus emissions.

I’d argue we’re more screwed if one person can completely upend a process like this, regardless of political party

Helsinki has a metro area population of 1.6 million (1/5 of Boston’s) yet its 4 line commuter rail system carries 200,000 a day, 1 1/2 times what Boston’s does on a system less than half as big. So what’s the secret?

Public transit ❤️

The thing people don’t understand when kvetching about how NYC isn’t ready for congestion pricing because our system is worse than London is that the London system only became this good because of congestion pricing

MOAR!!!!!

Folks are starting to pull those badge taps. I have literally heard C-Suite executives say they see no value in riding the bus because passengers wont know who they are. Its not for the passengers, its so you can make better informed decisions about the agency you help oversee

America’s Transit System giving it 100% on America’s Birthday. Joined my colleagues on platforms to deliver ~2min 🚇 frequency for 90mins to clear thousands of people post 🎆. Just ❤️ this TEAM! Thanks for riding! #wmata

This is top-tier transit reporting. We need more reporters like this who ask the tough questions & don't accept the bs answers from those in power. The video of the mother getting off the bus was the icing on the cake immediately after the chair said mothers only ride to events.

I think Joe Biden is proof to all Boomers how excited everyone would be if you just went ahead and retired.

Shade makes NYC cooler, cars act like radiant ovens. 170F - black car in the sun 85F - grass in the shade 116F - sunny sidewalk 90F - sidewalk in the shade of a tall building

Subsidized at every stage but deeply entitled: the story of American suburbs.

What we must do immediately: 1) End the use of fossil fuels 2) Build massive amounts of solar & wind 3) Electrify everything 4) Localize 5) Conserve 5) Find solutions for the last hard stuff (planes, cement) 6) Stop cutting down forests #ActOnClimate buff.ly/3r2I3Ee

“Our leaders simply do not know how to run and build good cities” Policies over politics! Public transport is the most efficient way for people to move about dense urban areas.
