Iowa City made buses free in August 2023 with a goal of lowering emissions and encouraging people to take public transit.
Now ridership is up, traffic is down, and the program is extremely popular.
So popular that the City Council has voted to extend it for another year.

Saint Charles' Primary School on Kelvinside Gardens in Glasgow. Built in 1932 and designed by William McCaig, who was the Glasgow Coporation Education Department's architect, it's one of the few Art Deco style schools in the city.

In 2023, Amsterdam lowered the speed limit on 80% of city streets to 30 kmh (19 mph).
Since then:
🔹 Ped & cyclist crashes ⬇️ 15%
🔹 Car-related crashes ⬇️ 11%
🔹 Noise ⬇️ 5.5% (logarithmic)
🔹 Traffic ↔️ No change
60% of locals support the lower speed limits.
