Gig rates in Seattle are getting a big increase in a couple of weeks. Hourly rates going up 20%, the 8-hour rate cap is now only valid if prepaid, and included mileage drops from 250 to 100 miles per trip. Disappointing, and in Seattle, there aren’t a lot of alternatives.

A neighbor who is against the W103rd open street has inadvertently publicised the NYC DOT Car Share program by telling us there is a vehicle in an assigned spot at 99th and Riverside Drive and that DOT is getting $475 for the spot. $475 is much more than $0.

Using a app for the first time today, it's so easy and fast! Very glad we decided not to get another car. This is so much cheaper.

Had the opportunity to use one of the new @pegcitycarcoop flo cars and took the family to Narcisse to see the snakes. Always a fun experience.

Get used to seeing these brand new electric gas hybrids around Winnipeg.

Work has been wild lately. The nonprofit I’m running is facing shutting down after 15 years because we can’t find auto insurance because of a NYS regulation. Since January I’ve worked on little else. Over the past 3 weeks I’ve met w/20+ legislators & executive staff. As an person this is leading to burnout & frustration. I don’t get why the regulators won’t let NY do what every other state does! @actuallyautistic

It's now 6 months since we went as a family & I wouldn't have it any other way. Benefits = more activity, more money & more support for local businesses. Plus has an excellent program. Sadly, we still pay for other people’s car use because driving is so heavily subsidized. It’s why we should all be demanding alternatives to car use – it is cheaper & better for everyone.

@simonvarwell @mbonsma NP. Of course it also helps to live in a city. is not big and is very car-centric despite having a walkable urban core. But the program here is phenomenal! We can even offset our own costs of using it by hosting a on our drive - win-win! My siblings in the UK (outside London) have to drive to get anywhere.

@simonvarwell @mbonsma There's a great report from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation on structural waste in the mobility system which estimates the average European car is parked 92% of the time so 3% moving is not far off.

We went 6 months ago and have not looked back. We walk, bike, bus or in & we save around $150-250/m compared to owning a car, depending on carshare use.

I’m slightly misquoted in this article & the facts are a tiny bit off, but for the most part it’s accurate. We are facing an existential threat to our continued existence. However, it must be said that the bill we’re trying to pass will benefit ALL nonprofits in NYS, not just ours. And it will allow other carshares in the state to move to a nonprofit model & allow new ones to start.

@mbonsma Some will say, what if there's no transit reaching your final destination? You'll have to take an expensive taxi ask someone to come to drive you.

Well, not so anymore in , , , at least, with great schemes like , , and the likes. You can book a self-service rental car in the area of the arrival train station.

Signage and on-street parking for a new company has been put up by on 51st Ave & 5th St in .

This @TheEconomist on decline of + in younger age groups (ht @gwagner ) is interesting.

I'm 40+ & owning a car in would significantly *reduce* my - though thanks to I can access one when I need.

But it's clear young relatives in rural are utterly dependent. Without safe even are far too dangerous.

The is here, but it's not evenly distributed.

@ellenor2000 @DrTCombs Yes, of sorts. Even now, the choice is lacking.

It's no longer an issue for me as we went as a family last year. I have a , which stands for Tern Utility Vehicle 😉

If we need a car, we use a program which means either a Prius hybrid or a Kia Rio, both of which are reasonable for fuel efficiency.

Best of all, we save around $200/month (CDN) not owning a vehicle!

@mbonsma Yes! We are saving $150-200 a month using car share versus owning (and paying for) our own car! We are lucky to have easy access to a great car share program, but when I talk to my neighbours they can't wrap their heads around not having a personal vehicle. It's a !

I had my trusty folding and planned to catch a train home.
Made it through Queen St, but several parts of it were almost knee deep. Had to carry my bike on my shoulders, as I don't think it can be submerged.
At Britomart, they suddenly cancelled all . The staff couldn't say whether or not there would be any rail replacement .
I waited almost 30 minutes for a bus that never showed up. So I booked a for a day and drove home.
The roads were flooded, but made it home.

@Nosila Amazing! We struggled to ditch the one car when the kids were younger because they both played sports that meant travelling in different directions. was a solution then. Gamechanger was when we discovered that N licence holders could register for so both kids now use it on occasion. It takes effort & a shift in mindset but we'll never go back to the
