This is morning rush hour just outside of the city center of Utrecht, NL.

About 60% of people enter center city #Utrecht by bike, 17% by walking, 14% by transit, and the smallest fraction by car.

It's an important reason why the city works well for everyone.

I love Dutch cities, particularly Utrecht. They are walkable, bikeable and breathable…and their public transport is pretty amazing too. What’s not to like?

@JugglingWithEggs @CathyTuttle Citizen"from Utrecht here: You are absolutely right, although our public transport system"in Utrecht has became a mess since an other company took over and the province demanded all busses should be electrjc.

When I searched ‘Utrecht electric buses’, I got the following initial response:

‘Utrecht is aggressively transitioning to a fully zero-emission public transport system, aiming for a fully CO2-neutral bus fleet by 2028.’

This was from Solaris Bus…and I sense there is some political tension in the phrase ‘aggressively transitioning’.

I live in a UK city with electric buses that have come online in past 2 years. It’s brilliant.
