It will be interesting to see how much usage the Silvertown cycle shuttle gets over the next few months. I don't live there, but seeing how difficult (and dangerous) the bus stops are, how inaccessible the bus is, and how inconvenient it is I reckon the service will be scrapped in the next 2 years.

Two identical twins leave two identical houses to go to two identical jobs

One walks, the other gets into a car that causes pollution and danger

Explain to me why the former twin is made to wait for the latter, rather than the other way round

At the moment we have a very consistent, non-evidence-based, negative narrative to stop any change … It needs people with courage to stand up and say: ‘This is not in the public interest. I want my kids to be able to get to school under their own steam.’

I am very proud of the work @camcycle.bsky.social is doing to make Cambridge a better place to live, by making cycling and walking the quickest, most enjoyable, and safest way to get around. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Do Cambridge's newfangled road layouts actually work?
Cambridge now has a Dutch-style roundabout, two Cyclops junctions and 14 Copenhagen crossings.

I had a look at the plans and to be honest they are not great in places, there are at least 2 bus boarders, a lot of compromises at crossings, shared pavements. I don't think it is a great scheme, it doesn't meet LTN 1/20 standards so Im surprised it was funded by ATE.

We need better ticketing, more buses and cheaper, but we also need fewer cars in cities and towns, so that the buses can run on time.

We need this in Cambridge.
One #ActiveTravel thing #Brighton#HoveCityCouncil does better than most other councils is ticketing & removing #AbandonedCycles, with a formal process if a notice giving 3 weeks warning. Though given the state of these it seems a bit unnecessary to give *any* notice! #BikeSky

So, I am getting pretty fed up with Twitter (X) and trying to see how this one works.
