"Uber has a new way to solve the concert traffic problem"
What st* headline and "invention" is that? Take this "traffic problem solution", make it a bit larger and you have a bus which transports 60-100 people at once.

UPDATE: Fairfield police have set up a command post at the Solano County Library along the 5000 block of Business Center Drive, where they are staging equipment and personnel associated with the freeway. #Fairfield#CHPSolano#Cordelia#I80#I680#SolanoCounty#SFBA#Traffic
"It's a long day, livin' in Reseda, there's a freeway, runnin' through the yard" (a photo from last week -- traffic wasn't moving AT ALL when this photo was taken...). #traffic#LosAngeles
And the troglodytes win. With help from the media - Guardian INCLUDED. No one ever looks at the very successful roll out in the Scottish Borders (Conservative council). Grumbles maybe, but I know of no one who wants to go back from safer, more pleasant towns and villages. But what can you expect from a Starmerite?
Electric vehicles are making an increasingly bigger dent in oil use, both globally and in Australia. In 2022, they displaced the use of 1.5m barrels of oil a day. Daily global oil demand is around 97m barrels, so there's a long way to go.
But it is not electric cars doing most of the work. It is e-bikes and mopeds. These #micromobility devices are ten times as common as electric cars globally (led by widespread adoption in #China), and twice as popular as e-cars in Australia. In 2022, electric micromobility devices globally displaced more than four times as much oil as electric cars.
If you've never tried one, consider giving it a go. Most bike shops will give you a free test ride. Personally, getting an #ebike has been one of the best decisions I've made in the last few years and has been one important way of maintaining our household record of never having owned a car.
Missed this post from yesterday from CHP Moorpark... "Six separate crashes within 5 minutes snarled traffic on US-101 NB on the Conejo Grade heading into Camarillo during this mornings commute. Original cause? One car with a flat tire in the center divide. That caused this chain reaction of crashes" #Camarillo#traffic
