So @ThreeUK is down meaning @iD_Mobile_UK is too. @Ofcom, this is a #UK #roaming failure Multi-day outages shouldn't impact subscribers. Requirements to bump customers onto working networks (e.g. @O2 or @VodafoneUK) improve network resilience & ensure the UK remains competitive

A good example of how integrating #bus & #rail in #rural #UK can help: @StagecoachSouth 21C is a 2-hour roundtrip (i.e. it doesn't matter when it starts) arriving within minutes of the hourly & only @GWRHelp service. Its an 11min🚶to #Barnstaple station meaning an hour wait.

Jorrit de Jong (@BHcityleaders) talking @LSECities with @BURDETTR. #Cities innovate by necessity (not choice) due to limited authority and resources. BUT #innovation creates tension so need to build capacity in people to transcend this. (Different take to innovation economies)

Some great numbers in @fluctuo's #European shared #mobility index. Two comparisons: 1️⃣That's 1.77 rides per vehicle (shared 🚗+🛴+🛵+🚴‍♂️) per day. 2️⃣🚇The #London and #Paris' metros carry more than double the number of riders annually. 9202560.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/9202560/…

@urbanjodi Some of those renders look like the floor plates of the garages may be lower. If that's the case, it's a missed opportunity for re-use but some could be used for a fleet of shared EVs to reduce overall vehicle demand. Lots of traffic around the edges may not aid wider walkability

Great exploring #micromobility #futures with @ScottCities1st (@DroverAi), @Hubert_Beroche (@Urban__AI) & @coelhojorge2 (@municipiodefaro) 3️⃣ ways🤖#AI may impact #mobility: 💾 Unlocking #data ⚖️ Shrinking the number of vehicles in #cities 💭 Shrinking journeys by adding meaning

#activetravel map by regions. Would be super interesting to see if adding #Africa and #SouthAmerica #data changes the pattern, especially as some African #cities likely have very high mode share for active and #publictransport at relatively lower densities.

@simongerman600 Great plan view map of resultant Active Travel and Public Transit mode shares for commuting.

There is an important link between the #future of #cities, #brand & #investment: #data. #Innovation won't always come from where we expect; we must learn how to share it more effectively. 🔊Thank you @DanielClaassen1 for exploring this & more on your 103rd @fca_digital #podcast.

Could @British_Airways ✈️and @HeathrowExpress 🚅 be coordinating cancellations? That level of integration between different transport modes would make this coincidence more meaningful. Although l, I have had 4 cancellations in 8 flights... One day we MaaS get there...

Insights from @Savills global #resilient #cities webinar @Paul_Tostevin:🏠rental📈shows people want to be in cities even though #climate & #COVID19 has changed🏢space demand. @linaliakou: #CapeTown used earlier water crisis to mobilise investment quicker than other cities.

📢Time to scoot to my next adventure! I've been fortunate to ride @tier_mobility🛴&🚲in #London, #Oslo, #Berlin & #Paris, & a @nextbike with @Burkhard_Jung in #Liepzig. 🌱So here's to new opportunities to add value by thinking differently about #urban problems & solutions.

#ITF22 @JillWarrenECF (@EuCyclistsFed): Not feeling safe is the #1 reason people don't 🚲 more in #cities. If you won't let your 10-year-old cycle alone you need to improve your #infrastructure. This is likely true for other forms of #micromobility too.

Leipzig, Germany 🇩🇪 English

Peter Griffiths ∞@petergriffiths_·20 May

Important focus at #ITF22 in #Leipzig on making #transport more #inclusive. This is my favourite 📷 - a man keen to explore new forms of #micromobility. There are pilots to link 🛴to🦽 but we are only starting to see how vehicle innovation will help people move better in #cities.

English

Peter Griffiths ∞@petergriffiths_·18 May

These @nextbike's at Congress Center #Leipzig look great with the 🌞 behind them. @tier_mobility is working with @ITF_Forum to support sustainable multimodal #transport at #ITF22. Hop on one if you've not tried shared #mobility yet - here or in 500+ other #cities & communities.

📢I've joined @tier_mobility to lead #policy #thoughtleadership. It's my next step in helping people see & imagine #cities differently. And after 2 years of restrictions, #micromobility will be key to #urban recovery. So here's to wearing a new helmet to #ChangeMobilityForGood!
