I’ve been in #Dublin for a few days. Yesterday I posted about how the re-design of their bus system has led to a 20% increase in ridership in 2023. Part of that is the new high-frequency “spines”… ☘️🚍🧵

They say big trucks are just a reality if you want to make deliveries in the city. I say there's other ways to solve the "last-mile" problem... There's your beer kegs—sorted. #London 🧵

"If you ask people what streets are for, they say cars. That's opposite of what they said one hundred years ago...Streets—venues of myriad public activities as late as 1920—were redefined as exclusive transport ways." —Peter Norton, author of Fighting Traffic.

You can drive in #Switzerland, sure. But if you want to get where you’re going on time, take public transport. I rode the No. 6 trolley bus in #Lucerne, and made my appointment on time. If I’d been in a car, I’d still be waiting. 🇨🇭🧵

I lived in #Paris in the 90s. A city totally dominated by cars. Hard to walk in, a nightmare to ride a bike in. Look at it now: a city where cars, rather than people, have trouble moving. Which, in the overheated, hurricane-plagued 2020s, is how a city *should* look.

50 years ago, a transport revolution started in #Zürich. #Switzerland rejected urban freeways. Zurich decided not to build a metro, opting for an S-Bahn commuter train network. And they gave *absolute* priority to trams over cars in center of Zurich. The result? 🇨🇭🚋🧵

Two ways to do the #backtoschool run. Top: drop-off at an elementary school in South Carolina. Bottom: an elementary school in #Holland. The American way: stressed parents, inactive kids, more pollution. The European way: independent, healthy kids, and cleaner air for all.

I ❤️ (car-free) #Paris! Starting Nov. 4, 2024, the 5.5 km2 heart of Paris will be closed to through traffic. (Buses, taxis, ambulances, residents' cars will still have access.) Opponents claim it will make life hell. Here's what hell looks like, according to them:

"How are you going carry a real load with a damn bicycle? We'll always need trucks in cities." #Hamburg: We see your beer-keg delivery, #London, and raise you a refrigerator. Or three. 📽️@CargoCycle_ Welcome to the #cargobikeolympics ! (SVP, reply with more heavy-hauler bikes)

Watch the clock carefully. You'll find it on platforms in train station in #Switzerland. (This one is in Renans, near #Lausanne.) See the way it pauses when the second hand is at the top of the dial? That pause is the secret to the legendary efficiency of Swiss trains. 🇨🇭🚂⏲️🧵

"So there are no cars in this community at all?" "Isn't it great?!" Culdesac, a new car-free rental community in #Arizona, can have outdoor kitchens, gyms, and other amenities b/c space isn't eaten up by parking. 🧵

I promote pedal-powered parklets for people, not parking for petrol-powered Pontiacs and Porsches.
