50% of Harare residents depend on informal transport: kombis, tuk-tuks, and more. The city's solution? Ban them in 3 years with no clear replacement plan.

Jo, das ist auch einer der guten Punkte die er macht. Und natürlich ist das pure Absicht der Hersteller, genauso wie bei Druckerpatronen. Du sollst das Ding nicht reparieren... du sollst es wegwerfen und ein neues kaufen.
Der rüde Umgang mit kommerziellen Mietgegenständen ist so alt wie die Branche selbst. Es gibt nicht umsonst den Ausspruch "Dont be gentle, its a rental".
Das und der Overhead (Management, Verteilung, Verwaltung, Kundenservice) der geteilten Dinge machen meiner Meinung nach #SharedMobility jenseits von #Carsharing wirtschaftlich unattraktiv. Jenseits des im Unterhalt sehr teuren Autos, dürften die nämlich regelmäßig teurer sein, als der Besitz eines eigenen Fahrrad, Rollers. ect...)
70% of urban trips in the Global South rely on informal transport. Why do climate plans ignore them? Required viewing!
Herrenberg is boasting about about their multimodal system for sustainable transport: stadtnavi. Hey, other cities, don't be jealous: Just adopt the solution, developed by Trufi.
TL;DR: Like 1990s AOL, transport data today is siloed and controlled. Open data advocates (e.g. GTFS, OSM) are breaking barriers to enable access, equity, and innovation in mobility.

In the "Pope race" – A cardinal "known to take 'jeepneys' and public transport while priest, and eventually, bishop."

When informal fares are the yardstick for public transport pricing, it's clear who’s leading.

Your mom was once restricted to the AOL ecosystem. And today transport data is being restricted by gatekeepers. And these two things are related. There’s no stopping the demand for open data.

This old promotional film reminds us that cities in the global North abandoned – on purpose – proven electric solutions for car dependence. A policy choice, not an inevitability.

A "too good to be true" EV leasing model for Kenyan taxi drivers? Drivers bear all the risk. Tech solutions should empower, not extract.

Santiago’s suburban rail proves justice can be built into infrastructure. The Accessibility Fairness Index (AFI) turns justice into a metric, not an afterthought.

#Heinerliner sind in #Darmstadt weiter unterwegs
In Darmstadt fahren die Shuttlebusse der #Heagmobilo, die per App und telefonisch bestellt werden und seit 2021 mehr als eine halbe Million Fahrgäste befördert haben, nur noch abends, nachts und am Wochenende.

A glimpse of what’s possible when cities prioritize moving people over moving cars. But it takes more than huge buses and electrification to address transport injustice.

There's an important aspect to this World Bank report that Devdiscourse doesn't mention: Sustainable Transport Investment should include support and funding for informal and active mobility.

Albania: Where the Automobile club guy says "more public transport" instead of "just one more lane."
The head of an Automobile Club (!!) acknowledges that public transport is the only sustainable solution to the traffic problems in Tirana, Albania.
