“Taxi and ambulance drivers are less likely than workers in almost any other job to die of Alzheimer’s disease. That was the surprising result of a 2024 study examining the death certificates of nearly 9 million people in the U.S…
Of the 9 million death certificates from January 2020 to December 2022 that researchers examined, taxi and ambulance drivers had the lowest risk of dying from Alzheimer’s disease out of 443 occupations. After adjusting for age, sex, race, ethnicity and education, roughly 1 in 100 taxi and ambulance drivers died of Alzheimer’s, compared with 1 in 60 people overall.
This pattern did not extend to other driving jobs. The researchers concluded that the key to reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s was not driving itself but continuous real-time navigation: the constant work of locating yourself in space, tracking a destination and updating a mental map as conditions change. Drivers whose jobs relied on fixed or predetermined routes, like bus drivers and aircraft pilots, didn’t seem to experience a similar advantage.
Researchers believe the association between navigation-heavy work and lower Alzheimer’s risk centers on the hippocampus, a part of the brain that governs memory and spatial navigation. It’s one of the first brain regions that Alzheimer’s damages: Problems with spatial navigation and orientation are among the earliest signs of the disease, sometimes surfacing before obvious memory loss.
In one landmark 2000 study [link above], neuroscientists compared the brains of licensed London taxi drivers with those of people who did not drive cabs. Their findings provided the first evidence via structural imaging that regions of the adult brain can measurably change under sustained navigational demand. To earn a license, London cabbies must memorize more than 25,000 streets within a 6-mile radius of Charing Cross, a challenge known as “The Knowledge” that takes three to four years…”

Vorgestern Ausfall der Stadtbahn 7 für > 1 Std. wg. Unfall mit PKW in der Innenstadt. Taxi genommen *) Mittwochabend Mobilitätsgarantie beantragt. Jetzt Bestätigung von der KVB erhalten, dass Kosten ersetzt werden. Das nenne ich echten Service, vielen Dank.
*) Beim Einsteigen im Taxi gefragt, ob ich mit Karte zahlen kann, da ich dachte, nicht genug Bargeld zu haben. "Neee, heute leider nicht, update vom System, muss neu registrieren, bla blub,"
Hatte dann doch genug Geld -

mit im Gepäck... Kurz vor dem #Unverpacktladen fuhr ein #Dosenlenker sein #Taxi zu ⅔ auf die Fahrradaufstellfläche vor der Ampel. Als T2 bei der Ampel war, schaute T2 eindringlich zur #Autodominanz - er schaute 'deeskalierend' weg! 2 weitere #Radfahrer kamen noch dazu und als es grün wurde, legte der #Dosentrottel einen Kavaliersstart hin ... und überholt die #Radfahrerin viel zu knapp! #Radfahreralltag #VisionZero
Gut eingekauft ging es die letzten paar Meter zum Restaurant und da ergab sich

Köln will die Taxipreise erhöhen. Hauptgrund: Der höhere Mindestlohn. Kürzere Fahrten könnten so 13 Prozent teurer werden.#WDR #Köln #Taxi #Preise #Kilometer #Grundpreis #Erhöhung #Mindestlohn #NRW
Steigerung um mehr als 10 Prozent: Stadt Köln will Taxipreise auch wegen Mindestlohn erhöhen -
Extremely worrying - a #London #taxi #driver would be skilled in #driving and familiar with #automatic and #electric vehicles - and unlikely to misapply the pedals and run over a kid *and* injure his own son badly through neglect (and the jury certainly agreed) - so there could be a dangerous fault in #Volkswagen #ID4 leading to sudden unintended acceleration (in contrast, the Golf MK7,5 will slam on the anchors automatically if it *thinks* you are getting too near anything)

Straßenverkehr nimmt weiter zu. Antwort der #Verkehrspolitik: Wir müssen mehr Straßen bauen, damit Deutschland nicht im Stau steckenbleibt. Wirtschaft und Arbeitsplätze sind sonst in Gefahr.
Immer mehr Menschen nutzen den #Umweltverbund (#Rad, #Bahn, #Bus, #Zufußgehen, #Taxi). Antwort der Politik: Wir müssen alle Verkehrsarten gleich behandeln. Für den Ausbau haben wir leider kein Geld, weil so vieles anderes wichtiger ist..
Noch Fragen?

#Attacking a #taxi driver physically will hurt him, attacking his car will rob him of his income and plunge his family into #poverty. Because of the taxi #platforms pushing prices to an all time low, they hardly make a living as it is. If they have to pay for serious repairs on their car or get a new one, not being able to work for a while because of that, it may push them into complete poverty. #Amsterdam #hooligans #Maccabi #Racism #riots

Kollektivt ägd taxi-app ger förarna mer betalt – Fair Taxi
Igår, den en 8 september, lanserades den arbetarägda taxiappen Fair Taxi av Föreningen Taxiunionen. Appen lanseras inledningsvis i Stockholm med cirka hundra bilar. Förarna kommer inte vara anställda av företaget, utan egenanställda precis som på
