If you prioritize cars, u get more cars.
If you prioritize walking, biking & transit-riding, u get more walking, biking & transit-riding.
This isn’t hard.
But here’s the key — if you prioritize cars, u get everyone trying to drive, & that fails for everyone, INCLUDING DRIVERS.

Paris is to remove HALF of its 140,000 car parking spaces (yes, eliminate 70,000 car street parking), led by mayor @Anne_Hidalgo, to make the city more pedestrian- and cyclist-friendly. #BuildBackBetter is not about words; it's Vision + Action, Action... itsinternational.com/its3/ne…

“While Mayor, I was often asked ‘how have you been able to afford this in #Copenhagen?’ I’d reply, ‘how have you been able to NOT afford it? 25 years ago we were a few days away from going bankrupt. So the city invested in the cheapest infrastructure — bicycling.” — @mortenkabell

We've been running this petition for a long time now and it would be great to get to 1000 signatures. Lifts have been promised but we've been told to wait until 2023. #nswpol @walksydney1

Extra shoulder peak services coming on some train lines, and a CBD tram capacity boost. A good positive step - helping those who need to travel right now stay safe, and cutting wait times and crowding for when things get back to normal👍 theage.com.au/national/victo…

Fantastic to see the Victorian government step in to save the Overland! Securing funding for 3 years gives certainty to passengers booking tickets in advance, and allows time to negotiate how the service could be improved and made more usable & attractive araratadvertiser.com.au/stor…

Between 2011 and 2019, Sydney’s population grew by about 15%. In that same time, bus + train patronage grew by 46%. That suggests a significant mode shift towards public transport.

The 'second M1' will be a congestion busting relief for the hundreds of thousands of drivers in SEQ! @AnnastaciaMP

Did you catch the last episode of Utopia last week?
Jevons Paradox is real - and yes it does mean road-building doesn't fix congestion.🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗
Let's hope the politicians were paying attention.
Who's down for a time-saving commute of two whole minutes? 🚗 #UtopiaABC

What a great vintage ad! A good reminder that the best way to "bust congestion" is to provide better public transport services, and give people an alternative to driving 🚌🚋🚈

Memo @GladysB & @AndrewConstance;
Evident truth in #Smh letter, if you want to to balance transport budget, cancel #WestCONnex. While you are at it, cancel all those tollways
