@helenczerski so very very very much this.

There's a programme on the TV about electric cars, and how there aren't enough charging points. Totally missing the point.

We need low carbon transport infrastructure and #FreePublicTransport, simple as

The whole #ULEZ fiasco is about the *injustice* of penalising poor car owners. Give people alternatives so they don't need cars.

•Free public transport is just the best idea ever. The free trains in Spain have really cut through to people who don't typically care about politics, and has drastically improved the lives of the many who must commute by train to work daily, saving hundreds.

Free public transport is a perfect example of:

Just returned from a full month of intense fiedwork in #Santiago de #Cuba and learned that my #UrbanStudies article has finally come out!

Great to see a group advocating for something PBP has been saying for a long while.

@dmoser

wow it's happening...

#FreePublicTransport everywhere for #ClimateChange and it's good for people who need it.

we're going need a lot of big and small solutions in concert to get anywhere because oil and gas and greed aren't going to give up so easily.
