Repairs to #London #Underground Jubilee line trains
"Permanent repairs on the Jubilee line 96TS underframe cracks have not yet started."
https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/transparency/freedom-of-information/foi-request-detail?referenceId=FOI-2935-2324

Permanent repairs on the Jubilee line 96TS underframe cracks have not yet started. A temporary repair process and management plan is in place. We anticipate permanent repairs will be completed in 2027. The underframe cracks are having little or no impact on the Jubilee Line service offering so we do not anticipate any changes to service as a result of completion of permanent repairs.

I’ve just saved myself £106.60 by using split-ticketing to buy my rail tickets to Aviemore and back.

Takes a bit of effort (I reckon 20 minutes) but worth it I think!

The crazy, rip-off rail booking system in the UK is not about putting people first.

@mimo Certaines voies de chemin de fer servent encore pour le fret par contre d'autres ont été démantelées (ex: voie cyclable Cabano-Dégelis). C'est fou à quel point les années 50-70 ont été tragiques pour les #TC dans le monde occidental (parce que en Europe c'est pareil). Les tramways ont laissé la place au autobus, les trains aux autos/camions.

In Hoboken, local leaders have invested in a concerted effort to cut road deaths — and it's working. The city hasn't had a single traffic death since January 2017, and traffic injuries have declined about 40% in that period

Hoboken has since pursued a slew of measures to calm traffic, and design roads and intersections to promote safety, while encouraging residents to bike, walk, or take public transit.

Very interesting gov stats linked from article:
Young men (17-24) drivers double the risk of death or serious injury than young women drivers. Most age groups (25+) at much lower risk, and similar across genders.
BUT...
From age 70+ risk (per miles travelled) climbs again, with women much higher risk. Drivers over 86 comparable to young men!
AND...
For young drivers, least well off most high risk. For older drivers, most affluent most high risk.

@futuresprog @Rjdlandscapes On the weekend I did some calculations on this. At the moment Aotearoa-New Zealand is at 2.35 motor vehicles per household. That's #2 per capita for countries with over a million people.

If we can get that to 2.41, which is just one more car for every 16 households, NZ will beat the US for the top spot in the world.

a renovation to wharf cellars on #Utrecht's Oudegracht shows well how not only the bridges, but the entire street rests on arches. Futuristic images (contemporary and historical) often show separated traffic layers, whether flyovers for cars or an aerial layer with drones or helitaxis. So basically a medieval idea: the waterway (and quays) for supplies (and disposal), the streets and bridges for people.

Czysty gaslighting.

Kupienie kartonikowego biletu nie jest „skomplikowane”. Rzekoma konieczność skanowania dwóch kodów QR w metrze to brednia. Osoby które już używają apek do kupowania biletów obecnie mogą łatwo korzystać z nich jadąc do innego miasta, bez dodatkowych kont, i nie jest to „pracochłonne” — polega na pacnięciu w ekran.

Obecnie, gdy ktoś przyjeżdża do Warszawy i chce pojechać metrem czy tramwajem, robi to co w każdym normalnym mieście — kupuje bilet. Może to zrobić mając tylko garść monet w kieszeni, a jeśli ma jakąś apkę do kupowania biletów w swoim mieście, to pewnie może to zrobić też w niej.

Jak to ma wyglądać w tym nowym systemie? Osobie stojącej na przystanku trzeba będzie powiedzieć: „och, nie może pani jechać tramwajem, co pani sobie wyobraża, przecież najpierw musi pani przejść procedurę zakładania centralnego konta w specjalnym systemie do śledzenia pasażerów”?

System płatności za komunikację w Warszawie jest zbyt skomplikowany, dlatego się zmieni

Dotychczasowy system wymaga zakupienia kartonikowego biletu, wyrobienia sobie karty miejskiej, którą następnie trzeba kodować w specjalnych terminalach, albo używania aplikacji na smartfonie. Apka przygotowana dla ZTM nazywa się mobiWAWA i nie jest zbyt wygodna, wobec czego wielu użytkowników korzysta z programów firm zewnętrznych, które tylko częściowo rozwiązują problem.

W każdym przypadku płatność przez aplikację wymaga pracochłonnego kupowania biletu i skanowania kodu QR, a warszawskim metrze nawet dwóch po kolei. Pierwszy służy do identyfikacji stacji, a dopiero drugi do skasowania biletu, co wprowadza spore zamieszanie. Zwłaszcza osoby, które korzystają z takiego rozwiązania sporadycznie, często mają problem, bo przy pomyłce system blokuje możliwość skasowania biletu przez pięć minut.
Każdy pasażer będzie musiał założyć centralne konto, na którym będzie można monitorować swoje przejazdy, płatności oraz nimi zarządzać. Dostęp do niego będzie możliwy przez przeglądarkę internetową albo aplikację na smartfonie.

Playing the London Tube Memory Game (warning: very addictive, huge timesuck, great fun) and this is the first time I can remember seeing an accurate, to scale, geographical map of the whole network with the Lizzie Line included.

Just look at the amazing purple scale of it! Look at how it makes all the other Tube lines look tiny!

My friend Jiggy Fetil just posted this on facebook.

It was so good I thought I should share. (Original from 'Movement': https://blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/product/9781911344971) #transport #cycling #traffic #urbanism

Drawing showing two solutions for traffic coming into a city on a highway. Solution 1: make the highway bigger (while city absorption capacity stays the same).  2. Reduce car lanes, add bus and cycle lanes.

#London #Transport (#LT) Magazine (July 1965, Vol. 19, No. 4) clipping:
The first of the front-entrance double-deck buses for Central #Buses, which eventually became the modern standard for London's buses.
The bus is the Leyland Atlantean, and the fleet code is XA.

Here is the Atlantean.

I know I've banged on about this before, but my god how have we not regulated for private light electric vehicles (including e-scooters) yet? All I want is to be able to own (and insure) an electric monowheel and live my jetsons dreams.

How about it Aotearoa!!

Let’s start with a ban on the big ones very soon — they’re polluting the air, driving climate change and endangering the lives of pedestrians and cyclists.

Stockholm is banning petrol and diesel cars from centre from 2025 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/11/stockholm-ban-petrol-and-diesel-cars-city-centre-2025-swedish-capital-pollution?CMP=share_btn_tw #nzpol #transport #auckland #wellington #christchurch #dunedin #hamilton #tauranga #nz #newzealand

#Travelling by #train in #Europe can be a nightmare. On this year's holidays we wanted to reduce our #CarbonFootprint by travelling by train (instead of travelling by other more polluting means of #transport). The idea was to use night trains and #Interrail to travel. But from Galicia I would have to travel hundreds of kilometres on an inefficient train, and France does not have many night trains. And buying #tickets and checking #timetables was a nightmare. So this time we decided to travel by car and not too far.
Here an article about this problem and the The #EU #MultimodalDigitalMobilityServicesRegulation #MDMS
