Sinn Féin are utterly useless when it comes to public transport. John O'Dowd is a waste of space as minister for infrastructure, and between himself and DfI it's clear that no one in the Department understands how public transport works.

@allianceparty.bsky.social and @Sinn Féin in particular must not be allowed to pinkwash their abject failure to protect healthcare access for trans kids, clearly showing up their two-faced "support" for LGBTQIA+ rights.

We need more bus lanes NOW. These kinds of delays are unacceptable, and they need to be addressed by @deptinfra to make the Metro bus network run efficiently.

It's not about having enough urban space for all modes, it's about allocating the available space to the "traffic" you want to enable.
You don't need to have wide roads in order to build safe cycling infrastructure.

Hey, remember when car and oil companies successfully lobbied governments to create car dependent cities and suburbs, and once we became almost completely car dependent, WE became the loudest, angriest champions of unhindered road space for cars, unnaturally cheap gas, and subsidized free parking?

I think I get less abuse than I used to but it is significant. The fundamental problem is that the chronic lack of bike infrastructure puts cyclists and cars in conflict. @belfastcyclecam.bsky.social

Hi everyone.
The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars.
We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website.
We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off.
I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.
