I love the book Carter. I've been in this game 25 years and no-one has put together a better book to quickly help develop new walk, bike and transit advocates. Well done and thank you.

Huh? Light Rail would have added a new bridge over or tunnel under the Brisbane River. Metro buses were able to run on the Victoria Bridge after only minor reinforcement. That's a huge cost saving to this project. Please be truthful - this 'solution' was a much cheaper alternative.

Yeah, still a long way to go. But it's a day to celebrate. Politically hard to make this scale of change in Brisbane. Yes, the Northside and Westside both need a similar step-change review of their networks. Let's see how much love these Southside changes get (after a few months' implementation)...

Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social keeping her cool when clearly and very deliberately shot by an LAPD officer with no provocation. Tough as teak!

The #trbam committees locked over a thousand of the rest-of-the-world's best transport experts into helping solve the USA's transport problems. A serious loss.

They do have their fuel inefficiency standards policy to keep polluting clunkers on Australian roads too, I guess.
