Oslo had 41 road deaths in 1975. By 2019, that number was one: a single driver who hit a fence. Oslo effectively ended road deaths by redesigning its downtown for people instead of cars. They removed 700 street parking spaces and replaced them with 37 miles of protected bike lanes and pocket parks. They lowered speed limits inside and outside the city. Many streets to car traffic entirely. They created "heart zones" around every elementary school where cars can't pick up or drop off kids. Did it kill the city? Nope. Retail sales at shops went up. Kids started walking and biking to school unsupervised. Air quality improved measurably and traffic congestion got better because fewer people wanted to drive through a pedestrianized downtown. Every piece of Oslo's strategy is available to any American city that wants it. The problem is solved, now we just need to implement it.

At a cost of $285 million, Milan is building 466 miles of a citywide, grade-separated bike network, representing just 35% of the cost of a single highway interchange in Chicago.

#SciNews 𝗠𝗘𝗧𝗥𝗢 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗦 𝗥𝗘𝗗𝗨𝗖𝗘 𝗖𝗔𝗥 𝗨𝗦𝗘 𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡 𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗘𝗗 Despite worsening pollution and traffic congestion driven by rising car ownership worldwide, some cities are beginning to reverse the trend. A new study published in Nature Cities reveals that metro train systems are far more effective at reducing urban car dependence than previously understood. Analyzing mobility data from hundreds of European cities, researchers found that cities with metro train networks consistently report significantly fewer car trips. On average, only about 37% of journeys are made by car in metro-equipped cities, compared to roughly 50% in cities without them. The reason lies in capacity and efficiency. Metros transport large numbers of people over long distances, making them a reliable alternative to private vehicles. This becomes even more critical in larger cities, where commuting distances increase and driving becomes less practical.

Even small shifts away from car use can translate into millions fewer trips annually, easing congestion, lowering emissions, and improving urban health. #trains #transport #traffic

@BigBrother_21st @Neo_Geo_Forever @yukiyo_kato What game is this?

@yukiyo_kato Here’s my MVSU-25

昨晩アルカナで久々にMVS筐体見て最初に感じたのが「小っさ！こんなんやったっけ？」でした どうやらモニタサイズ25インチ筐体との事なので昔自分がよく見てたMVSは29だか33だったということになる訳か もう30年程前になるのに大きさの感覚はなんとなく覚えてるもんなんだなーと思いました

Someone trained AI on her music, got a distributor for it, the distributor then copyright claimed her videos and music that the AI was trained on, effectively stealing her money. An absolute outrage, AI and AI powered scammers are strangling creatives.

One of the biggest disinformation campaigns ever applied to cities involves the constant claims that “driving pays its way.” It’s actually MASSIVELY subsidized, while things like walking, biking, public transit & supportive housing for the unhoused actually SAVE PUBLIC MONEY. HT to the classic Andy Singer cartoon. #UrbanTruth

Less asphalt. More landscaping. Safer for pedestrians. More cities should do this.

@Kemelwoo Movie name?

In 2025, I spent $1,962 on public transit, Citi Bike, and rideshare. With AAA estimating the annual cost of car ownership at $11,577, that means I saved $9,615 by living in a walkable city with great transit. Car dependency is expensive.

@snk_esports_hub Is there going to be an official way to play? Is it in Steam?

Who's ready to run it back? THE KING OF FIGHTERS ’98 will officially join the SNK World Championship 2026 line-up as an Open Tournament! More information coming soon. Stay tuned!

@FGPerfectShots There’s combo expression and then infinite expression

@DaGeecheeGamer I saw a black-and-white photo of 1950s Sudan haircuts here on Twitter, and they were so cool - like retro-futuristic.

LOVE THIS!! I hope that animated film and game devs/companies take this into consideration for character design as well!!

Safe, protected bike-lanes are: Better for business Better for emissions Better for air quality Better for public health Better for noise Better for space Better for equity Better for affordability Better for public cost Better for safety for EVERYONE Better for oil independence Better.

@InvincibleVS Amazing idea; you have no idea :)

Eve's dad as a training dummy seems.....like a good idea.

China’s electric buses now recharged in just minutes—right at roadside charging stations! ⚡ Say goodbye to long downtimes and hello to cleaner, smarter urban travel. The future of public transport is here! 🔋

The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility. Let’s be clear — it wastes public money to NOT do it. #CityMakingMath HT @modacitylife

It’s only a matter of time until mfs treat them AI data centers like AVALANCHE did with them mako reactors

Car dependency is so normalized that people can't imagine a family being able to save 100k over a decade by going from 3 cars to 2. Even talking about it makes people hysterical. Before you huff and puff at me, look up the numbers. The internet is an amazing resource.
