The Subarus of 20 years ago weren't sports cars.

Electric buses are passing a brutal cold-weather test in Wisconsin Madison is proving electric buses can run through cold winters, providing a blueprint for zero-emissions transit in other frigid locales.

Interested in this--the important piece seems to be that the range impacts of cold weather on BEBs seem to be decreasing as time goes on. But! Mandatory 15-min dwell time to recharge at the end of a route, or midday return to garage, are *major* operational inefficiencies. grist.org/transportati...

Death Valley is the worst because half the visitors rented cars in Vegas just to get there. And cars routinely overheat there. And all the attractions are laid out in straight lines so frequent buses would be perfect.

Gov. Hochul's Car Insurance Proposal is a Disaster for Crash Victims' Rights - Streetsblog New York City As a state that values walking and biking, we cannot allow the governor to gut the rights of the people most at risk — especially since it won't lower insurance rates anyway.

The fact that most transit riders are used to getting treated like dirt gets treated as the status quo rather than a huge opportunity for public policy gains that could come from very modest changes.

When I was a kid the Plymouth Meeting Mall buses all stopped right in front of an entrance (where Bertucci's is now). The transfer experience is so much worse now.

Saying your small metro should built car shit until it turns into Bakersfield is not being “pro-rural,” it’s actually saying it should build all the excess of urban areas with none of the benefits until it crumples under its own weight

Small metros face a choice: fill out their geography with low-density car-dependent infrastructure until they become endless Bakersfield-style sprawl, or properly urbanize in a more compact, efficient footprint that gives people more mobility and housing choices.

The PC bankruptcy trustees had to argue in court about whether or not Keystone was "Intercity passenger rail" because if it was they could make it Amtrak's problem. Turns out there was no legal definition of that phrase.

Was recently told to essentially “Shut up and stick to bike advocacy” after a post supporting the trans community.
1. GTFO
2. My voice is not some singular thing - bike advocacy is a small part of my makeup-you don’t like me or my position on things refer to point 1

Signed,

How do you even put that in your mouth? Knife and fork? Went to Carnegie once and didn't understand it at all.

I hear this all the time, but I live in Syracuse and none of the rust belt cities I've visited are like that. You need a car in all of them.

Screenshot of Google Maps showing the 16 slower

In my Google Maps it seems to be because it's considered slower than multiple other options (this is to Harold's Cross)

As someone else said, if you are having a notionally left-friendly YIMBY conference in DC and nobody from Greater Greater Washington is present, then you aren’t even interested in faking it
