@zoru75 The fencing of the footpaths was not at all necessary. Could have gone with bollards instead 🤦

@ChaloPmc When will people learn that widening roads do not solve traffic. Make better public transport and pedestrian friendly infrastructure does.

If our politicians understand that electrifying railways would reduce foreign oil dependency, why don't they apply the same logic for sustainable public transport and pedestrian infrastructure? Just building good footpaths would completely eliminate those 2-W short trips.

@caleb_friesen Some questions come to my mind 1. Benefits of SAR+MSI fusion on a single platform? 2. Are they planning a constellation? 3. Are they Planning for some Edge Computing as well or all data processing will be conducted at ground stations? 4. Processed data availability?

Visiting GalaxEye today. They're about to launch the world's first satellite with both SAR and MSI sensors on a single platform. What should I ask them?

Here is a quick dose of #IntegratedTransit inspiration from Bhubaneswar (more photos in the thread). We see so many plans on paper—here’s what it looks like when those plans survive the real world. Bringing to life, good street design isn't glamorous work—it's hard-fought coordination between agencies, a lot of site visits & plenty of drama often spread across years. We often forget that these "wins" aren't accidents. They are the result of years of invisible work—by planners, engineers, and city officials who showed up, argued for better, and refused to settle for the status quo. A salute to the countless hands that made this project happen.

@takatakha Man this brings me to tears. NGL

Closed in 2020. Potential:

So freaking cool

Indian cities are right now in the perfect time to resume LRT and bring back trams in Kolkata, Hyd and Mumbai and start local mfg so T2-3 cities can use it instead of metro But instead we get an elevated rickshaw with a usecase in an airport

@streetfrontier Yes Definitely restricted. Love that about Europe.

@rushanLimboEra i am heading out to see if any... even if it is, it is usually restricted to a small area.

I am here while elections and counting is underway. No noise, no ugly political banners, no rallies, no chaos, absolutely nothing. Silence everywhere.

@iPradeepSangwan @swachhbharat Implementing a fee system can be beneficial. Put a 40-50 rupee bottle fees on glass bottles. People pay the fees when they buy the alcohol and get it back when they deposit the bottle in any store. Needs a lot of logistics but can be done imo. Germany does it flawlessly.

liquor companies focus heavily on distribution & sales volume, but not on reverse logistics like bottle returns Every tourist or local-if you take the pain to go & buy same can be done when it’s empty For an individual or any entity it’s too difficult to manage #Himalayas

@thrishul @pervinsanghvi 1. Comfortable and safe journeys for passengers. 2. Increased revenue for IR which can be used for better maintenance and buying of new rakes. AC is not a luxury but a necessity for public transport in India.

@rushanLimboEra @pervinsanghvi how wiill it solve the problem?

What does the Supreme Court bench, including the CJI, that refused to intervene in the cutting of 45,000+ mangroves for a Rs 18,000 crore coastal road — have to say about this daily nightmare of the common Mumbaikars?! A road that will benefit just 10% of daily commuter trips!

Will rather run non-AC locals on heavy subsidies than actually working towards making it 100% AC with fair ticket prices, saving people from falling off and keeping them safe from suffocation. AC, at least in our metropolises should be a need not a privilege.

@eannagram wait till u try Nivea from Germany (origin).

Nivea body lotion in India is the consistency of milk and barely hydrates meanwhile the Nivea lotion I bought in Japan was half the price, as thick as cold cremes here, and moisturises all day… oh cmon man why is everything here so expensive for literal shit from butt

Converting car lanes into protected cycle tracks transforms roads into attractive places for people to enjoy

There is so much truth in this. India has the worst public spaces because no politician uses it. And thats exactly why lutyens delhi and places like sunder nursery, khan market, Chanakyapuri are so top notch because all national politicians use those spaces.

✊ Data belongs to the people. Democracy runs on transperancy West Bengal's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) 2026 data ie. the data that determines whether your name stays on the voter list, is technically "public." But try accessing it. You'll hit CAPTCHAs. Download limits. Scanned PDFs that no machine can read. Data buried so deep it may as well not exist. So we did something about it. Sabar Institute, with the help of our researcher @Souptik_H and support from our team of @sabirahamedgd, @Ashin_econ and @mallick_so63507 has built free, open, interactive maps of SIR 2026 data across all 294 West Bengal Assembly constituencies and we're making them available to every journalist, researcher, activist, and citizen who needs them. 🪦 ASDD Deletion Map — See exactly where voters are being deleted as Absent, Shifted, Dead, or Duplicate. Track overall deletion %, gender ratio, death counts, untraceable voters — assembly by assembly, on a live map. ⚖️ Supplementary Adjudication Map — Follow the adjudication trail: who's under review, how many were added or deleted, what percentage are still pending — across every single constituency. Why does this matter? Because mass deletions from voter rolls don't affect everyone uniformly. They happen in specific places, to specific communities, in patterns that deserve scrutiny. You cannot scrutinize what you cannot see. 🔗 Link to explore the map is in the next tweet If this work matters to you, support us using the link below👇 #DataForBetterLives

@streetfrontier Cute and functional.

Look what I stumbled upon in Budapest. 8m low floor mini bus deployed by the city transit agency.
