Maglevs are the fastest trains in the world, capable of reaching 274 miles per hour. How can they reach such high speeds?

1,175 km: Yesterday, we established a world distance record with our serial Alstom Coradia iLint 554 551. Its #emissionfree journey took the #hydrogen fuel cell train from the North Sea to the German-Austrian border with a single tank filling. 🚄💦🌱🌎

The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility.

Let’s be clear — it wastes public money to NOT do it.

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, & most of the energy that does, moves the car, not people.

Seems important.

Remember, Paris wasn’t “always this way.”

It wasn’t even this way in late 2019 when I was there last.

Just a few years ago, Paris was choking in car traffic.

This is new. This is leadership.

Cities are a result of choices.

More cars = less friends. 🚗🚓🚕🚙

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

Flying is not always faster!A frequent&punctual train service can beat many domestic air flight in terms of total travel time and comfort plus it is much more #environmental #highspeedrail https://t.co/JSUXclhonZ
