This is a great piece by @drkarenlucas.bsky.social & @hirr4.bsky.social.

“Can the transition to net zero and the push for greener transport also make travel fairer and more accessible for those on low incomes?”

The answer is yes. But only if we make it a priority. The risk is we go the other way.
Really interesting, wide-ranging piece on just transitions in transport in this new programme, exploring LTNs, walking and cycling, buses, trains, air travel, and intersections with race, global inequalities, and much more:

I was a big supporter of Lou Haigh as transport secretary. Can't believe she's gone - seems really unfair - hoping she'll be back soon!

Caring for my dad in his last weeks was the most sacred honour of my life; it was painful, it was ugly, it was death.

BUT I’m deeply uncomfortable with the “autonomy/choice” framing of the assisted dying bill; a symptom of the “disease of separation”, we must unlearn control & individualism.

After three months London's teens can get the discounts they're entitled to. The next big scandal is whether TfL will refund the millions of pounds it has overcharged passengers.

Let's not dismiss the science, veer into alternative facts & rely on magical thinking.WE NEED TO EAT LESS MEAT & DAIRY.

We want support to eat more fresh, healthy fruit & veg. The UK has one of the best culinary scenes & chefs making ravishing, sexy plant-based food - that's the future! 🍃 #BBCQT
Fiona Bruce, "How are you going to make us eat less meat and dairy without telling us what to do?" #BBCQT

Jonathan Reynolds, "This is about opportunity and prosperity, scaring people into: your life isn't going to be good, can't eat the same food, that is not what this is about"

Sadiq Khan and Transport for London were on the cusp of transforming the capital's roads. London Centric has all the details.
