Wow, transit working in Iowa City, Iowa. Fare revenue is a small part of @ridetarc.bsky.social budget. If only there were the political will to something like this in Louisville.

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

Wonder what it is in Louisville? I’m guessing more…
An excellent read. Cars take up all the room.
check out our recent project mapping street space allocation in Toronto
we find that more than 80% of transportation infrastructure in Toronto is designed for cars, far more than how people actually travel

A great thing about bike-friendly streets is that they enhance local transport resilience.
Tube down b/c of a strike? A great excuse to cycle.

🤔 Tube strike forcing you to rethink the commute?
🚴 Don't put yourself through the painfully slow bus or the painfully overpacked train - make the most of the September sun and ride into work!
You never know, you might actually enjoy it... 👀

Future proofing bike lanes is something I hope New York City learns. The Flushing Ave bike lane by the Navy Yard is woefully narrow, especially for a two-way lane. Given how long it takes to build things like it, the city needs to think ahead.
The Embankment cycleway (CS3) in London was purposefully built to be wider than was usual in order to future proof it.
Some said it would hardly be used.
Now there’s a decent case for widening it further.
Induced demand is real.

It would be amazing if the police would actually enforce these same/corresponding rules for drivers.
Morgan Hill CA PD announces zero-tolerance enforcement of traffic laws, but only if you're riding a bicycle. The rest of you all can continue freely breaking the law as long as you drive a car.

Next time someone tries arguing that it’s “social engineering” (cue ominous music) to give people more CHOICE to walk, bike & take public transit in their city, tell them that designing our current car DEPENDENCY has been the largest and most damaging social engineering experiment in human history.

Finally, subways in general are just a miracle (to me) of engineering. I’ve ridden them around the world and loved them all. I’d love to see the U.S. respect and improve its public transportation infrastructure the way countries like Japan do. But I will ride the NYC subway today and love it. Fin

Every time I see conservative fearmongering about how dangerous the NYC subway is, I feel the need to defend it. I grew up in Ohio. It’s cars that are dangerous. It’s car accidents that are terrifyingly common. I’m not being dramatic when I say the subway is one of the best parts of my life now.
