For a third year, I have continued to live car-free and rely solely on walking and transit for mobility. This essay covers what I experienced during these years, changes accelerated by the pandemic, and insights into car-free travel, transit modes, and urbanism.

Celebrate #BurnsDay and #BurnsNight in honor of #RobertBurns

His name is on the top of every eastbound Milwaukee Hop streetcar and his statue stands in the park at the end of the streetcar line, Burns Commons. Born on January 25, 1759, the National Poet of Scotland, Robert Burns wrote ‘Auld Lang Syne’ and other poems. Burns Day and Night is observed across Scotland and Scottish communities each January 25th.

Streetcars on Mastodon get the hashtag #tramstodon! This is a great tag because it bridges the streetcar term used in the United States and tram used elsewhere in the world.
