#nocar — Public Fediverse posts

Add another tally to the "things you can do on public transport."

Amazing what the bus and train drivers will let you bring on board if you wait till off peak and give them a big smile.

PS i know the Germans won't blink an eye, but Australia is so car centred it's hard for people to fathom taking the PT, let alone using it to move furniture.

My Utopia at Kunsthalle #tubingen. @deutschlandfunk reported:

"How the often selfish needs of individuals or a city can be reconciled with those of the general public in terms of planning – that is the real question. Video artist Jan Kamensky provocatively sums it up."

This is my first weekend exploring #Brussels with a fantastic sunny day. Of course, I need to go to the flea market. :-) I am also learning how to negotiate with a local.

Finally get lost in the small streets with my friendly guide.

Es muss nicht immer das Lastenrad sein. Manchmal tut es auch der Kinderwagen, wenn der Kaufrausch mit einem durchgeht... (und das Baby hatte Spaß auf Mamas Schultern)

Ich besitze ein KFZ, versuche aber die Nutzung so gut wie möglich zu vermeiden. Alles in der Stadt geht eigentlich ohne.

Are modern SUVs really "as big as a Sherman tank?" Not yet, but getting there.

Welcome. It's not that I am #NewToMastodon, but I am rather #neuhier with regards to the server I am on, so please allow to introduce myself, politely:

This is a rather private profile, with occasional toots around German #politics, #football and my personal life decisions (they’ll bring me to hell, I bet, if you believe in such stuff).

I'm #antifascist, and a #nocar person, and from that I think it is easy to conclude on the rest of my political views. If in doubt, please ask. Be prepared that most of my views are leaning towards what has been called #leftHegelianism.

Having worked in #ops and considering myself as #philosophy nerd for years, I am currently working as project lead for #BuildingAutomation and #EnergyManagementSystems. I am sure that humankind needs to change in that regards, and these four have to play a major role in that change.

Living in #Leipzig, #Germany I am happy to answer all questions around topics taking place in mid Europe, as I consider myself as European rather than German.

Heute mit @senfglas einen Gartenzaun gebaut. Ich finde wir können stolz sein.

Material haben wir ganz ohne Auto rangeschafft.

Magical motif and mobility!

In a car-oriented world, pedestrians are asked to take a long detour around street crossings. Needless to say, there's barely any traffic on the main road, let alone the side road that's crossed by it.

#NoCar #CarFree

A thought from an early Sunday train: electric cars are not a solution. They're just a different face of the same problem.

#PublicTransport is the solution.

#NoCar

Does anyone know any website that along with "N km around the specified location" has filters like "reachable via #PublicTransportation"? I mean, a 50 km distance along a train line is very different than 50 km distance to a place that's only reachable via car.

EDIT: Sorry, I meant sites other than maps. Things like job boards.

#NoCar

It's time for my big #PublicTransport coming out. I haven't taken a bus or a tram for months now, and I've used them only a handful of times in my life. Instead, I've been increasing CO₂ production…

…by walking over the distances usually reachable by short range transport (and sometimes a few #train station distances too). Shame on me!

#NoCar

I've heard that people are buying big cars to compensate but...

#NoCar #bicycle

I can understand that people need to own land and surround their homes with fences and walls to feel secure against all the people out to get them.

However, I wish that the long series of new houses wouldn't cut off direct access to the #forest, forcing everyone to take a 15-minute detour along a busy road. I mean, people tend to be going there to breathe fresh air, not exhaust fumes.

#NoCar

Family ride to #emeryville tonight for their #NoCar parade featuring loads of #cargobikes. Santa rolled in on a huge cargo bike pedaled by Mayor John Bauters. This was the first time our 6 y/o had seen Santa.

There’s something really joyful about a bunch of people on bikes in a group having fun. #BikeTooter

@strypey Feature parity is tough. But in my late testing Dino and Nheko have done a great job at being good maps apps. For maps, Pure Maps seems perfectly sufficient for me, but being a person that generally does not get lost, a #nocar person and not going anywhere during the pandemic my needs may be way less than what others expect.
Generally, if you want things to change, try listing the precise features you miss. The next step would be to create feature requests upstream.
