Graphic showing what your mobility choice costs all of society

If walking costs you $1, we all pay $0.01. If biking costs you $1, we all pay $0.08. If bussing costs you $1, we all pay $1.50. If driving costs you $1, we all pay $9.20. Via @thediscourse study.

This isn’t just about choice. It’s about who pays for your choice.

Cover sheet of a journal article: "Why do cars get a free ride? The social-ecological roots of motonormativity" by Ian Walker and Marco te Brömmelstroet

HOT RESEARCH NEWS!

Motonormativity ("car brain") is a bias that stops people making rational judgements about driving en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motonor...

Our new study shows where this bias comes from AND how it makes people think they're odd for supporting changes to the transport system 🧵

- toilet was alright, felt very similar to the Oscar’s but were clean - but it is the first day
- did see a couple of people trying to flip the seats which was funny
- overall I’m glad that they are finally being used for passenger services

- displays have relevant information with a little display of the meaning mariyung and a bit on the dreaming - hopefully won’t turn into ads into the future
- seats were more comfortable than I thought they would be
- should’ve come out way sooner but they’re here now

Mariyung/D-set first thoughts

- very nice, feels like a modern train
- smooth ride, barely any noise and don’t feel many bumps (caveat I only went from central - Epping so could be bumpier)
- all the little things are good - tray tables are nice and strong, little hooks for bags
- bike storage 👍

Street full of parked cars in Bordeaux France, Google photo from 2008.

Same location in Bordeaux photo taken by me in 2023.

Before & After: I don’t think people realize the extent to which parked cars degrade public space.
