@EUCommission

It's a cute Monocab, sure, but that doesn't change the fact that the EU no longer has cheap energy, so it would be more worthwhile to invest in your main weakness.

“Taxing airline fuel is not the only answer to encouraging more people to choose low-carbon travel, but it’s a start.

It’s ludicrous that the most environmentally damaging form of transport doesn’t pay fuel tax”

The #UK government lost YOUR rail #consultation responses - take action

Thousands of passengers responded to the government’s #rail consultation in April.

We’ve discovered that they lost 6120 - ALMOST ALL - of your responses.

This is absolutely unacceptable. They are required by law to “conscientiously consider” all responses. They broke the law.

Road and rail bridges spanning the River Wear in Sunderland, NE England. An extended camera exposure to coincide with rush-hour traffic, a passing train and a sky that's not to light and not too dark!

Here's a radical transport idea...

For every two lane road, turn one lane into a segregated two lane cycle route, and make the other one a contraflow motor vehicle lane.

Watch many car drivers switch to cycling, and RTAs drop. Short distance travel times will be reduced for many.

And I say all this as both a car driver and a cycle rider.

Britain's railway privatization was an abject failure

When I first started backpacking around Aotearoa in the late 1990s, a walk-on ferry ticket cost about $25. When I booked a walk-on ferry ticket today, it cost over $100. I flew from Kirikiriroa to Ōtautahi a couple of months ago for not much more than that. It's a ridiculous situation.

Tech companies have plenty of bad ideas they say will improve transportation — but the car remains a menace.

On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke with @BrooklynSpoke and @sgoodyear to discuss the many ways cars harm society and why that must change.

"D’abord estimé à 4,5 milliards d’euros, le projet est désormais évalué entre 7 et 8 milliards d’euros, et serait entièrement financé par des fonds publics. (...) La récente publication par la Cour des comptes d’un rapport estimant à 3,8 milliards d’euros la réhabilitation de l’ensemble du réseau fluvial français ravive les débats sur la priorisation des travaux."
