The first KL Metroscape video is out! It explores why KL’s traffic hasn’t improved despite the MRT and what it takes to get people on public transit. Using 2 stations as examples, it shows how small infrastructure upgrades can drive big ridership gains. youtu.be/lvw48YCMATE

Buses are slow and inconvenient because you jokers have built an infrastructure around cars. Build the transport infra around buses, trams, and trains. Watch them become faster than cars, not get stuck in traffic, and people enjoy more people-space.
Richard Wellings@RichardWellings

Buses are hideously slow and inconvenient. You have to walk to the stops, wait around, and can't carry much either. By forcing people to use buses instead of cars they're severely restricting mobility and access to job, retail and leisure opportunities. birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-…

For decades, the bicycle—once synonymous with Chinese urban life—has been pushed to the margins in Guangzhou. As car usage surged, bike infrastructure was neglected. But today the city is staging an assertive return to two wheels, this time with policy and planning behind it.🧵

Emmanuel Grégoire wins Paris🇫🇷. Grégory Doucet holds Lyon🇫🇷. Dominik Krause rises in Munich🇩🇪. Different cities, same message: people vote for greener, safer, less car-dependent public spaces. 🚲💪Turns out that when cities feel better to live in, it wins elections!

Guangzhou isn’t just building bike lanes. It's building a healthy, liveable city. With 6,000 km. of greenways, it boasts one of the world's largest cycling networks. What was once overlooked is now impossible to ignore: a vital link in their modern, multimodal transport system.

My housing hot take is that WP KL and its inner suburbs (PJ and Ampang especially) should actively upzone landed suburbs to look like this 4-5 storey apartments with ground-level retail Existing ones in the city centre (These are in Bukit Bintang) should be high-rise apartments

“A city’s creativity doesn’t depend on cars. That’s the 20th century. We’re in the 21st.”— Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo. No matter what happens in the Paris election, the world’s cities owe Mayor Hidalgo a huge debt of gratitude. The boldest, most inspiring mayor I’ve seen. ft.com/content/8fbad7…

Want a jungle adventure in the middle of the city? Try cycling from Bandar Menjalara / ParkCity to Taman Tun. Looks trivial on the map - basically impossible in real life. It worked fine before Noöra @ Desa ParkCity. Then the link was cut. No alternatives, no care.

Are people in KL experiencing problems on the Putrajaya Line as well? I just saw these recent train availability numbers from #RapidKL Like Kajang Line, this suggest one third of the fleet is missing...

We shouldn’t forget: Residents’ Associations like the one in Taman Tun opposing more human-centric street designs are most likely the loud minority.

For weeks we were told Parisians would punish the city’s street transformation. The election results tell a different story. Pluralistic ignorance: when many quietly support something but assume others don't. Safer and greener public space may be far more popular than we think.

The urban mobility system is highly complex. Luckily, the basic math for throughput is remarkably simple! (Capacity of different modes by @NACTO)

We design mobility systems around one goal: speed. We maximize flow and minimize travel time. But what if we see travel time as exercise, play, conversation, reflection, community? What would change? 📗 𝗠𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀: thelabofthought.co/shop/p/mobilit…

Traffic engineering borrowed hydraulic language from engineering and turned streets into pipes. But streets aren’t pipes. They’re social spaces. What if friction is a goal? 💬 The pause to talk to a neighbour 🤸 A child slowing you down on your bike 📗: thelabofthought.co/shop/p/mobilit…
