In the 1970s the Traffic Circulation Plan was introduced in the city of Groningen to reduce car traffic in the city center.

The 22 minute video shows that it was met with a lot of resistance, but 50 years later it is the foundation of why people love Groningen.

The plan was radical and »ridiculous«, but it worked.

»Er gaat niets boven Groningen« 🥂

Dear July 2025 Joe,

It's fine, you can buy the Ortliebs and there will be absolutely no regret. It will make everything approximately fifty billion times easier.

Sincerely,

March 2026 Joe

The Australian states of Victoria and Tasmania are trying out a fare-free transit period to reduce fuel consumption.

I'm interested to see future data how much this drives up regional bus and train usage during this oil shock. Will people who don't usually take transit try it out, then continue using it if they like it? We'll see, in any case, Canadian agencies should take note of the results.
