Helen CzerskiThe evidence that cars don’t work as primary mass transport in cities is everywhere: traffic jams, air pollution, accident rates, the shocking fraction of city space taken up by parking spaces, safety barriers/bollards etc. This 100 year experiment should be declared over, and we should put proper effort into the systems that HAVE been shown to work and scale: walking, cycling, e-cargo bikes, cheap/accessible/reliable public transport. This “argument” about LTNs is just lazy delay. #LTN #cities
inaforest@helenczerski be nice to see some effort put into rural transport solutions, too, often forgotten or overlooked, we don't all live in a city OR work at desk-based activities..public transport in the burbs and beyond is a joke with a terrible punchline
Jon PENNYCOOK@inaforest @helenczerski Agreed - public transport and cycling infrastructure often don't reach suburbs or villages, particularly new housing developments, but there's no reason why we can't have both (LTNs AND sustainable transport for villages and new housing developments)
@jonpsp @helenczerski there's a way to go implementing improvements and infrastructure, in my experience.
