Listen to Derek Clifford, 50 year longstanding resident of Bethnal Green, talk about the transformative effect of the LTN residents just saved from being ripped out. #LTNs #StreetsForPeople

I just found a great research paper on biases in transport. It goes into some of the known biased we have and applies them to transport. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Excellent. It presents the switcheroo very well. It is so present that we barely see it.

Hi, are there recent numbers on this?

So maybe it's Better Transport I need to reconsider.

The "Great French People" are happy when criminals are convicted and politicians who abused the system get banned from being elected.

I'll never understand the line of defense the far right is using in France: "You are preventing millions of people from voting for Le Pen". Because she was found guilty by a tribunal. Surely we want people we vote for to not be fraudsters.

I think Joe's podcast shifted some time back to go towards more 'out there' subjects. Controversy brings revenue. Are we seeing the real Joe now, or was it the one from before, or is it the very same?

You need to find a strong filter to put in front of the less. Then you'll be fine.

The blue dot is a reflection on the internal optical system. Like bouncing inside the camera basically. So it is less intense and shows more details.

Trump is turning the US into a mafia state, like Poutine did some 20 years ago. Accusing others of doing what you are the one doing, rewarding loyalty above competence, attack the law, education, journalism. Lie until you are believed, by hook or by crook.

With what's happening in the US, will we still want to watch movies where the country is the good guy?

JC Hermier @jchermier.bsky.social · 17/03/2025

Realising how much rebuilding the US will have to do after these 4 years. The country is at war with itself because some politicians didn't have the courage to resist. It will be like rebuilding after a war.

"Making driving more appealing leads to more driving". Logical and uncontroversial. Yet people opposing traffic-calming measures like LTNs dance around that fact. Why? Because they know this to be true and often just try to find excuses for their habits or that of others.

JC Hermier @jchermier.bsky.social · 08/03/2025

This scheech made me cry. It is so on point. We have to realise that electing populists like Trump has real world consequences. youtu.be/QIK9vbQRwBQ?...

Any plans to reduce train fares from the current government? It's cheaper to fly to Spain than get from one city to another within the UK.

Hi, do you have a link for the Korean situation?

Trump and Vance are weak. Like all bullies, they attack whoever they see as weaker than them. When you put populism in charge, you gamble with everything.

The empathy angle comes back often. It doesn't cost a thing and stops any reasonable debate on its tracks. It's also very transparent.

That's sad. But also, change is prompted by sudden events. I can't use Facebook less than I am, I can't use Threads less than I am, But I can reduce my Instagram.

It would be more interesting at the effect of private cars on public transport and active travel for example. But that's not what these companies are in the business of.

If people are interested: cityobservatory.org/another-flaw... But also, as a thought experiment: If there was 1 car left in the entire city, and that car was slowed down more than normal, it would show that congestion got worse.

Sigh. Here we are again, another year, and yet another uninformative, and actively misleading congestion cost report from Inrix. More myth and misdirection f

Hi Rob. I wished Newspapers were a bit more critical of the Inrix/TomTom numbers. It makes for easy articles but in reality is more of a promotion tool for the companies than a useful indication of what's going on in the city.

Now to Streatham Wells LTN, that has been in the news. Also a downward trend. Lambeth - Streatham Green - Urban - By a boundary road (A23) N02 readings - automatic air pollution sensor (Jan 2010 - Jan 2025)

I am sure that some have genuine concerns and will take this information as a relief. But, it is clear that some pro-motoring people were never as interested in air pollution, active travel, road safety, crime rates, disability challenges, and bus delays as they seem to be now.
