Starting off #TestUnit2019! I’m excited for the week ahead. @AgileCity_

[Copenhagenize @copenhagenizers]

20 people arrived for a meeting at our office in Copenhagen today. They filled up less than one spot for car parking. Imagine how much space in our cities we could use for urban life and people if we had fewer cars and less car parking! #bicycleurbanism

@SPTcorporate you're trying to stay on brand in this public survey but it makes it *extremely* hard to read and I'm not even someone who has trouble with colour contrast. Here's a link you should look at: https://t.co/TVnoa5AjcW

What happens within 20 years of this illegal attack on our cities? The iconic freeway system is born, solidifying American reliance on Big Auto and paving the way for drastic increases in automobile greenhouse gas emissions, racist eminent domain takeovers, & White Flight.

[Connor @ConnorWBean]

In case you were wondering where Big Auto’s priorities have been… in the 1930s, 4 companies are the main cause of public transportation being taken out of many major US cities: General Motors, Firestone Tires, Mack Trucks, & Standard Oil

[Connor @ConnorWBean]

These 4 companies formed an illegal consortium and single-handedly destroyed public transit infrastructure in over 40 cities.

[Connor @ConnorWBean]

We must nationalize our public transportation and make it free at the point of use to start aggressively combating climate change https://t.co/vbkybsgeio

[Connor @ConnorWBean]

He also has a side comment about ACAB and I feel like he completely ignores the structural and institutional racism in the police/carceral state we live in, especially in the USA

[Connor @ConnorWBean]

Currently reading this by @lokiscottishrap and it’s absolutely phenomenal. Started it yesterday and already 3/4 finished. It’s a must read!

[Connor @ConnorWBean]

If he hasn’t already read it, How We Get Free would be an excellent starting point to learn more about both of these topics - from the perspective of the folks who coined identity politics as Black, Queer, Radical Women/femmes

[Bloomberg CityLab @CityLab]

A new paper adds to the evidence that ride-hailing is partially responsible for fading public transit use, @mslaurabliss reports: https://t.co/YQPUzTK01F

A better world is out there and you need to play your part @FirstinGlasgow 14/14

[Connor @ConnorWBean]

The user experience on a @FirstinGlasgow bus is absolutely atrocious. I’ve been living in this city for 6 months and I have some thoughts on the terrible public transport (from a UX perspective) we have here 1/

[Connor @ConnorWBean]

@FirstinGlasgow you desperately need to improve the user experience of your buses and I think you should hire me to help with this 13/
