@tmstreet We need to quit reinforcing this fallacy that #DriverConvenience is on the line when #carSupremacy is challenged. This system of bouncing between deadly speeds and standstill #trafficCongestion / #seeYouAtTheNextLight is unpredictable and inconvenient for #drivers, many of whom are not driving by choice, or very long trips, but choose cars for fear of cars / lack of enough space having been allocated to bike/walk/transit options. & costs them $5-10k/yr, classist entry fee to society.

Severe #TrafficCongestion has reduced travel speeds in the central business district to less than 10 kilometers/hour at peak times.

"#DavaoCity is the #Philippines’ third largest city with a population of 1.78 million. It has no rail transport system and public transport relies on small vehicles like jeepneys, tricycles, motorbikes, and taxis." #ElectricVehicles #EV

Davao City's shift to modern buses gets $1-billion funding from #ADB
