Norway goes big: company orders world's largest hydrogen ships:
-Two ferries carrying 120 cars & 599 pax each on NO's longest route
-6.4MW fuel cells, running on locally produced H2
-Deliveries on 2026
Thank you to everyone that is addressing the reality we’re increasingly faced with - a system that destroys our future. The #climate crisis is here. We have to stop the insanity of believing in trickle-down economics and imagine with open-mindedness a different way of doing things
Polish bus maker Solaris gets orders for an additional 18 hydrogen buses from Frankfurt public transport operator:
-Frankfurt’s In-der-City-Bus had previously ordered 23 Urbino 12 Solaris buses between 2022 & 2024
-Solaris continues to grow its orders for H2 buses
It’s weird to be riding on a cable car in San Francisco, a method of transport developed here in the 1870’s, and see a fully autonomous self-driving taxi pull up right next to you. #history#transportation#science#cars#robots
#30daysOfBiking today I went for a ride around to see how #Portland police direct traffic when somebody biffs their garbage truck's hydraulic oil all over an arterial connector. Apparently they only have two cops and no signage to work with, this probably needs some PBOT (#transportation) staff involved.
I am curious. I am spending about €250 per year on #bicycle maintenance. I also spend about €1.600 per year on public transportation - Infrequently visit my father by train, and he lives about 550 km away.
If you own a #car, what are your annual running costs - excluding the purchase price, but including fuel, maintenance, and insurance?

Was talking to a Canadian friend about how hard it is to get from Abbotsford to Vancouver if you don't want to take a private car.
Not only is car-centrism not just a US thing, but we (both in our 50s) were marveling at how long it's been foreseeable that we'd need better public transit & rail to stem climate change and how long politicians have been blowing it... #PublicTransport#Transportation#ClimateChange
@JGeoSys is pleased to announce the the winners of the 2023 Best Paper Award:
Luyu Liu, Adam Porr, and @mobileharv for their paper
“Realizable accessibility: evaluating the reliability of public transit accessibility using high-resolution real-time data”.
ICYMI: We’ve written about interesting train stations in Japan – from ones out in the middle of nowhere to stations in Tokyo that hardly anyone uses. But there’s an even more interesting – and spooky – type of station. Learn about Japan’s “mole stations” and how you can check them out yourself (if you dare…).
I've been saying this for some time now. Never thought I'd see a US department say the same — but the NYC Department of transportation just did! And it's not the first time I've seen them post some really good stuff about bikes. This gives me hope.
