How is there ONE bus route connecting Chelsea, Revere, and downtown Boston (the 111) but not a *single* stop in Charlestown? 😠
I’d guess something like classism or racism but maybe there is a good reason I haven’t thought of. Maybe it will get fixed with the route updates scheduled for this year. Pple who have lived here longer do you know?

According to this report, 10% of all vehicles sold in Canada Q2 were either battery-electric or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. That's nothing close to Norway's 79% electric vehicles sold last year – but still nearly double the percentage of electric vehicles that were sold in Canada only two years ago in 2021.
(Also: it's interesting to see that 1 in 5 cars sold in BC Q1 were EV!)

Interesting article about the popularity of shared e-scooters and e-bikes in Brisbane.
A recent study found that 80% of visitors said e-scooters enhanced their experience of the city and increased the number of places they were able to see and experience.
Unsurprisingly, Brisbane’s robust cycling infrastructure was cited as a factor. Build the infrastructure and the riders will come! 🛴⚡🚲

"...e-bikes can get the equivalent of up to 4,000 miles per gallon, making them climate heroes even when relying on electricity generated from fossil fuels."

In fact, I'd like to see all of old Sacramento and the K St. Mall car free. I believe making #walkable streets helps businesses and the people who patronize them & makes a city more livable. Make cars the alternative #transportation and fight global warming.

Safety Inspector Fired for Finding Too Many Defects Could Cost #BNSF Railroad Millions - Dude was fired for reporting the truth and his supervisor got a $20k bonus for getting rid of him and protecting corporate profits over passenger safety.

Rush hour and the #MBTA Red line train is once again mysteriously stopped two stations away.
Seems no matter which station you try to use, the train is always stuck just down the tracks a ways.
And this experience continues after many many weekends of Red line closures.
It's infuriating how the system never improves despite all the work that is reported to be happening.
It's making me lose faith in #Boston
How can a city function well without a well functioning public #transportation system?

🚴♂️ The off-street bike lane along Godfrey Ave between Oxford & Liberty; near the site of the Factory Yards development, which seems increasingly likely to move forward. 🤞
Recent deals involving the 467 unit development define 20% of the units as Affordable (10% below 60% AMI & 10% below 80% AMI). 👍
And is there a pickup truck parked across the bike line? On a quiet Saturday morning of a holiday weekend? Yes, of course there is. 😞

Modo is celebrating its 1,000th car-sharing vehicle (a new Hyundai Ionic EV) and 30,000th member.
I've been a member of Modo since 2006 and it's the reason I've never owned a personal car.
I've used Modo vehicles to haul furniture, access campgrounds around BC, and take road trips across Canada.

Hub Cycling is celebrating its 25th anniversary. The progress they've championed is really amazing.
Just compare the 1999 Vancouver cycling map with today. It now covers most of the city and also includes separated AAA routes.
A huge thanks to HUB's staff, volunteers, and 100,000 members for 25 years of progress.
And not just for infrastructure improvements, but also for education and advocacy.
