Not only did this bus stop in Perth, Australia, show me that the bus would be coming in 3 minutes with a digital display --

It really is true: Cities aren't loud; cars aren't loud. And EVs won't fix the problem.

Terrible story but great reporting by Laura Penington of the Denver Post:
- "A man died... after being hit by the driver of a van while riding his bike"
- "the driver struck him from behind"
And some extra context that you rarely ever see:
- "There are no bike lanes along that stretch of road"
