Just when #Bellingen expands the 50s infrastructure road widening program without #footpaths or #bikepaths the news hits:
Private vehicle usage must be halved to cut emissions, Climate Council says
"Australia should aim to reduce transport emissions by 75 per cent by 2030
Public and active transport needs to triple to meet that goal
Eighty-one per cent of trips are made in private vehicles across Australia, but the report says that would need to drop to 36 per cent by the end of the decade.
That would mean 49 per cent of trips would have to occur on public transport and 15 per cent through active transit.
At the moment the average Australian household has two petrol cars in the garage.
One of the easier solutions would be to increase reliable #ElectricBusServices rather than working on larger infrastructure projects." Excerpt

In many ways China's been leading the #NetZero fray thus far in spite of new coal mining operations & #NetZero60 promises instead of 50. Nobody's done more to bring down the cost of #Solar to where it is today & they're doing the same with #ElectricBuses

My topics are: #publictransportation #climatejustice #livablecities
I'm deputy chairwoman of the municipal council #Dallgow-Döberitz and therefore report about #localpolitics.
And I'm Head of Social Media & Brand Marketing @Optibus and therefore report about how #AI-supported software can make #planning and #operations for #buses more efficient and #publictransport more user-centric. #Electricbuses
Besides that, there's everything else that interests me: #Kids, #dog, #justice

For both Optibus and myself I am looking for accounts to follow that are interested in #PublicTransport, #ElectricBuses, #LivableCities, #MassTransit

Kampala, Uganda now has #publictransportation with #electricbuses and Wi-Fi on board at a third of the price people used to pay for transport.
#drivershortages are not a big issue for bus operators in Spain, but they are in Portugal.
I learned a lot during this week's Optibus Hub in London, where the focus was to make public transportation better together.
I reported from Germany: About the #9euroticket and how this has removed barriers for passengers, namely those between fare zones.

I should make an #introduction post. I am a #busdriver and #PublicTransport enthusiast. Aside from my day job as the friendly, shaggy-haired, face of public transport, I also volunteer at the local tramway museum and bus club, driving vintage #buses and #trams. Aside from public transport I am also keen on #electrification and #cleanenergy. I have a tiny, breadbox-like #electricvehicle I charge up at home from solar and am very keen and vocal at work about the move from diesel to #electricbuses.

"The buses will be delivered to First Bus and its local authority partners from March 2023 and the full rollout is expected to be completed within two years."
