A very good piece on bike share and tourism.
As a Lyft Pink subscriber I get member pricing on bike share in NYC and Chicago, so I mostly got around by bike when I visited. Boston, on the other hand, charges high daily and per-trip rates to tourists; so I took a lot of ride-hails instead.

$10.69 for a 15-minute ride? For visitors, public bikeshare often feels like a ripoff. In CityLab, I explored why.

I haven't driven a car in 7 years. Because where I live prioritizes people. Transit is convenient, reliable, frequent, and goes basically everywhere. Walking is safe, traffic is calmed/slow, and bike lanes protected.
And for the rare need for a car, I have taxi options.
I wish everyone had this.

I am super-pro-public transit, and use it way more than the average American, but I live near a light rail station with very, very stable and predictable scheduling, and even then I would not use it for many things I use a car for because the cost of transit is time.

You can get a one week bike share pass in Valéncia for about the same price. Choose wisely

"You take away the funding from the housing, but people don't go away,” said Network Executive Director @pascalel.bsky.social to @gothamist.com on new cuts from HUD that threaten to return 14K NY households to homelessness.

I really do hate living in a car centric society. It's isolating and it makes transportation more tedious, especially when locations are long distance.

How ODD that both my father in law’s car and ours would suddenly be “rusting out” and be no longer viable at the same time. While he can afford to replace it we can’t. Guess who’s going CAR FREE?!

Going to Las Vegas - not the strip - for the first time when registering voters for Hillary Clinton in 2016 sticks out as one of the worst single days of my entire life. Hot, full of stroads, desolate, depressed. So many of my friends' parents have retired there and I can't imagine a worse fate.

27 minutes agoThis, and, maintaining volumes literally in every direction around a transit stop that has the potential to be a major link in our transit system.
Anna Zivarts@nondriver.bsky.social
Why are we assuming that we want to maintain car volumes? To meet our climate, public health and road safety goals as a city, there is no reason any on or off ramp in #Seattle should require multiple lanes. #Rainier If you want to be angry, watch (starts at 1:05): youtu.be/Lr-C4k0EEf4?...

I want fewer cars and more public transit options, and that needs to include better disability accommodations on buses and trains, in train stations, on sidewalks etc.

I don’t know who wouldn’t want a nice long bike path that lets them bike downtown near their house. People are very strange.

i find myself walking on sidewalks these days imagining a row of bollards that line each edge of the road. the bollards are raised automatically to physically protect any cyclists and pedestrians from all vehicles (and there is a physical override for pedestrians who need to cross the street)
Nora Loreto@nolore.bsky.social
Doug Ford handing murderous drivers a lifetime ban on driving is pretty clever when you remember that he is also making roads so unsafe that the murderous drivers have a higher chance of bring killed while walking or cycling.

Even if this settlement fixes RealPage, it still allows competitors to do the same thing. One more policy choice to burden renters and push more Americans into car dependent sprawl.

Also, can we get good public transit? Folks out here can't go to the library without a car.
Maggie Tokuda-Hall@maggietokudahall.bsky.social
Libraries are free for you to use, serve the public good, are great, support creators financially and, I cannot be clear enough about this-- ARE FREE FOR YOU TO USE-- so pirating books makes you kind of an asshole, not some Marxist revolutionary. If the book you want isn't there *request it.*

money no object? I would move to France (probably Nice or somewhere smaller like Agen). In the US, I prefer where I live quite frankly. Of this list, maybe NYC (decent mass transit, high density, decent transit corridor in the northeast)
Andy Rivkin@asrivkin.bsky.social
Tell you what--I like Baltimore plenty, but it is really interesting to me that Baltimore places higher on this list than Seattle, New Orleans, Houston, Phoenix... If I lived in Baltimore I'd mention this survey to Philadelphians I knew at every opportunity. (Dallas, though? GTFO.)
