A World Health Organization study shows that a 5% increase in average car speed leads to a 10% increase in injury accidents and a 20% increase in fatal crashes.

A mini cabin for yourself as innovation in night trains, much more comfortable than a night plane!

#NightjetOnTour - COUCHETTE REVIEW 🌙🚆🇦🇹

This is the biggest innovation onboard the new Nightjet, the couchette car is equipped with private compartment called « mini-cabin » and this is the first we’ve seen an innovation like this in the train industry since decades…

Never forget that when Seoul, Korea removed the Cheonggyecheon expressway in 2003 and replaced it with a restored stream, 1000 acre park and improved transit, not only did it transform the city’s public life & economic success, but the traffic got better.

The traffic got BETTER.

Very difficult sometimes to advocate for a progressive, innovative Spain... Sustainable mobility is still an unclear concept for so many. https://t.co/i6NcIScECz

Uno de los errores más grandes que hemos cometido como sociedad es obligar a la gente a transportar 4 asientos y 1 maletero vacíos para poder ir a cualquier sitio. Hay ciudades que lo han solucionado. Es cuestión de copiarlas 🚲🔌

The problem of too many cars isn’t just about the tailpipe. And altho EVs seemingly address that issue (or “move” it, depending on the electricity source), their increased weight, and the potential increase in size & distance driven (due to #JevonsParadox) make EVs “complicated.”

Bicycles need much less scarce urban space than cars. That's why motorists should support more people #cycling. 10% of drivers switching from cars to motorcycles reduced congestion by 40%. Just imagine the numbers if 10% switches to e-)bikes! ⚡️🚴💪🌱https://t.co/IxZLfRcGrL

Pedestrian islands can reduce car vs. pedestrian crashes by 32%.

Believe it or not, these projects get rejected b/c they're put up for vote and enough people don't like the idea that they might have to slow down or give way while driving.

Helsinki planners have modelled what happens when pedestrians are prioritised, rather than forced to wait ages to cross.

They found that a 5% improvement in the walking environment leads to a 2.3% increase in public transport use and €8.5 million increase in fares.

So, how? 🧵

"🇪🇺 España dedica menos fondos europeos a infraestructuras ciclistas que Italia, Francia, Rumanía, Portugal o Hungría." dice AMBE... Situación preocupante, cuando sabemos que una mitad de los trayectos urbanos (menos de 5 km) se realiza con coche...

[Asociación AMBE @asociacionAMBE]

🇪🇺 España dedica menos fondos europeos a infraestructuras ciclistas que Italia, Francia, Rumanía, Portugal o Hungría.

La falta de inversiones retrasa el desarrollo del uso de la bicicleta en España como medio de transporte, ocio, turismo y deporte.

“Currently about 2/3rds of all Dutch children walk or bike to school, with 75% of secondary school kids cycling to school. By enabling safe and active travel, Dutch cities prevent an estimated one million car journeys to school each morning.” — @modacitylife in #CurbingTraffic

49% of car journeys in London remain under 2 km... More active mobility is needed in our cities, for increased health, well-being and safety of our citizens!

[Jon Burke 🌍 @jonburkeUK]

14% of London car journeys are under 1km.

35% are under 2km

50% are under 3km.

50% are for leisure or shopping.

That's why London remains one of the industrialised world's most congested cities.

[IRU @the_IRU]

The @Europarl_EN has adopted a new emissions trading system for #roadtransport (#ETSII) that will go live in 2027.

Will the infrastructure needed for a massive shift to zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles be in place by then?

More cars = less friends. 🚙🚕🚓🚗

People living on streets with heavy traffic do have less friends and less acquaintances on average.
