Living in the Netherlands this is normal for me [all be it exceptional].
I used to commute to work on bike. No drivers license. Owning 3 bikes. One for urban traffic, to the train station. One for leisure. And the last at the trainstation of my workplace.
Would that was possible for every one.
Remember: 'If you build it, they will come' As it goes for bicycles it also goes for cars.

Quote by OTU:
"Aug 13, 2023
Why build bike lanes — shouldn’t we focus on public transit instead? There’s a criticism we’ve seen that bicycle urbanism is a niche obsession and that urbanists’ attention should instead be on public transit as a more robust, reliable, and realistic alternative to driving."

Digital divides and sparse transport options plague both Global North and South. But the South has a surprising advantage: most people are not car dependent, and informal transport already serves them.

A "too good to be true" EV leasing model for Kenyan taxi drivers? Drivers bear all the risk. Tech solutions should empower, not extract.

It sure seems like Tanzanian football promoters know where to look for grit, agility, and the ability to think fast under pressure: boda boda and bajaji riders

In my opinion Shenzhen has the best subway system in the world. Clean, air conditioned, easy to figure out where to go, not too busy, and it goes everywhere. In the busier central districts of the city the subway lines are underground, but in the more outer districts they’re often above ground

The Toronto Suburb Where the Humble Bus Is King - Bloomberg

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-14/the-toronto-suburb-where-the-humble-bus-is-king?cmpid=BBD041425_CITYLAB&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&utm_term=250414&utm_campaign=citylabdaily

> Transit ridership is off the charts in Brampton, Ontario, despite its typical low-density suburban layout. Here’s how the city got residents to get on the bus.

- frequent bus routes (cor every 5 minutes)
- upgrade existing services

this is going to be a shitshow for philly - #SEPTA is outright killing 50 bus routes, 5 regional rail lines, 20% reduction in service on remaining routes and CLOSING 66 STATIONS.

this is insane to me. image via reddit.
