The walk to my nearest bus stop has such poor air quality I find myself coughing by the time I get to the stop (it's an 8 minute walk). So I walk to a stop further away with less traffic on the route. But the route to my nearest stop is also the walk to school for so many kids...

CHART OF THE WEEK: A recent @TransportFocus report showed awareness and use of the £2 #bus fare cap is higher in the three regions of the North than the rest of England.
This has increased significantly since January 2023 and is highest in the North East. #NorthernStats
This is pretty telling... @easypoliticsUK

You know you're a transport geek when your bestie messages to tell you she's on an electric bus! She enjoyed this trial in Southampton!

Idea - what if a pedestrian crossing could detect a bus at the bus stop across the road and changed to help you catch that bus??? #SmartCity
