@PhilKennedy @FurtiveSalmon @otis_bedding @netwench@StokeyUpdates@StokeyLTN@welovestokey Yes, if you focus on the two manual counts, there is a clear increase over 10 years. Even if you look at the whole data set, you are saying you are happy with the 3 years of sharp increase 2017 onwards?
@Oioisavaloi1@hackneycouncil @ZENCityfringe @BerylBikes It's not personal at all, no human is objective. Something you've just proven by claiming there is more pollution and traffic based entirely on your personal experience over 3.5 days
@otis_bedding @PhilKennedy @FurtiveSalmon @netwench@StokeyUpdates@StokeyLTN@welovestokey Not their figures, TfLs. Because the point is to reduce car use and make the streets safer and cleaner. Unless hackney cars are somehow emissions free and unable to hit pedestrians or cyclists they are just as much the problem.
@FurtiveSalmon @otis_bedding @PhilKennedy@netwench@StokeyUpdates@StokeyLTN@welovestokey We are humans. We like to think our brains and decisions are impartial and logical but it's the complete opposite. We are biased, irrational, and illogical and that's just our subconscious.
@PhilKennedy @FurtiveSalmon @otis_bedding @netwench@StokeyUpdates@StokeyLTN@welovestokey Such as the timings of when people are travelling at that site or something external like roadworks etc. A road with unchanged capacity cannot see a decrease in traffic and increase in congestion without another factor being involved.
@PhilKennedy @FurtiveSalmon @otis_bedding @netwench@StokeyUpdates@StokeyLTN@welovestokey I'm aware of that. But if someone is reporting increased congestion at a site that has 5,000 fewer vehicles/~30% decrease daily then surely it has to raise questions? Either the reporter doesn't have an objective view on the change or some other factor has changed 1/
