@muratk3n Sounds great. How do you replace all of the #hydrogen made currently by burning #fossilfuels?

There is a massive amount of hydrogen for heavy industries that needs to be replaced. It’s an enormous challenge even without trying to replace more efficient electric #transport.

Your document doesn’t discuss this at all. Ignoring this is folly wrt the #climateemergency.

There are plenty of media reports right now about a monorail suspension train system that has started operations in #Wuhan. And it's being celebrated as another proof of how progressive #China is.
Well, I'd say #Wuppertal wants its Schwebebahn back that became operational in - 1901!
Nope, this is not a new idea, folks. And a capacity of 200 people is underwhelming, really.

Here’s the last time we could clearly see the cost of #Brisbane’s public #transport.

How difficult would it be to remove that $422m and make public transport entirely free to the public, I wonder?

imo this is a distraction. the safety benefits won’t materialize, but it will expand the push for “connected” cars that generate a ton of data for auto and tech companies, while shouldering consumers with greater surveillance and more subscriptions.

it’s another way to distract people from the real solutions to the road safety crisis: redesigning streets to slow cars down and making investments in alternatives that get people out of them.

We’re being sold the fantasy that massive electric vehicles which pose an increased risk to human life, equipped with excessively large batteries that rely on a vast expansion of environmentally damaging mining, are our solution to the climate crisis.

For Disconnect, I explain that the problem with our transport system goes much deeper than its emissions — and we need a much better plan to address it.

16.8% of monthly car payments are over $1,000, down payments are at a record high, and the average length of a loan is 70 months.

It’s criminal we built a transport system that forces so many people to own a car — and pay so much! — just to get around.

87 percent of new cars sold in Norway in March were #ElectricVehicles. The record high numbers are largely driven by high sales of #Tesla Model Y at discounted prices. #Transport #Electrification https://ofv.no/bilsalget/bilsalget-i-mars-2023

That’s it - all the bike parking at the largest train station in Australia, Sydney Central.

It has a capacity of 12 bikes (maybe?), does not have any lighting, is not undercover, and doesn’t have any CCTV. The only person nearby was a smoker in the corner.

The only bike there has been disassembled by thieves. It’s name? Copenhagen 😂😭

This game at http://metrodle.com is about guessing which tube station it is, without seeing the colours of the lines or name.

I'm still acing it with most my first guesses being right.
