En París se han triplicado los desplazamientos en bici y ya representan el 11% de los viajes (Madrid, 0,7%) frente al 4% de cuota modal del automóvil (Madrid, 25%). El motivo principal: red ciclista protegida. 📽️ @copenhagenizers.bsky.social

Car dependency was not a choice. It was and is the deprivation of choice.

If someone chooses to live in a smaller home in the inner city in part to avoid a long commute, they generally don’t pressure society to build them a bigger house with more stuff. So if you choose a bigger stuff-filled house in the suburbs, don’t expect society to build you a fast car commute.

All courses in this year’s CEMFI Summer School look terrific. Applications are still possible for some of them, including — purely coincidentally — one taught by yours truly on the Economics of Global Value Chains. Come join us in Madrid!

More evidence that plug-in hybrids were a mistake. Yet another report finds that in many cases, they just mean people are burning extra oil to carry around a redundant battery and an extra motor #FewerCarsNnotNewerCars

As expected, PHEV are not very useful to reduce emissions, because people do not usually plug them in. In places in Spain this is probably worse, because many people buy them as a free pass to low-emission zones, while polluting more than some excluded cars. insideevs.com/news/784328/...

This is along the lines of what happened in run up to/right after Valencia floods in October 2024: redirection of funding from disaster prevention and relief (approved by previous Vox-supported regional admins) led to v suboptimal prep for the floods. But this didnt stop Vox for mounting outrage.

STUDY found that “the growing number of SUVs reduced the vehicle capacity of freeway lanes in Minnesota’s Twin Cities by 9.5% between 1995-2019. Their findings suggest yet another way in which ‘car bloat’ exacerbates problems that affect everyone, regardless of how they travel.” Plus more deaths…

How SUVs Are Making Traffic Worse

As larger, taller sport utility vehicles took over US roads, they also aggravated highway congestion, according to a new study. It’s yet another ill effect of “car bloat.”

Just 9% fewer cars led to 20% - 50% faster commutes. It is an expensive and fruitless mistake to prioritize more driving when less driving overall is better for everyone!

I refuse to shut up about this: NYC started charging $9 to bring a car into our most transit-rich zone, the haters & trolls predicted doom, but traffic evaporated instantly and here’s Times Square tonite (even after the holiday tourists have left). For a better future, build transit & price driving!

Desde 2012 pagamos parte del coste de los medicamentos, donde el principal criterio es ser pensionista, que pagan menos que personas activas. Eliminar esa distinción considerando renta como principal criterio, crear más tramos y eximir a <6000€ haría más equitativo el sistema.
