  1. 🚴🇮🇪💶 #Transport Minister Darragh O’Brien has launched a new national website showcasing Ireland’s growing greenway network at the National Active #Travel and Greenways Conference in Cork on 10 September 2026.

    The website provides a central source of information on greenway routes, facilities, attractions and visitor amenities.

    The annual conference brings together local authorities, Transport Infrastructure #Ireland, the National Transport Authority and other stakeholders involved in walking, cycling and greenway projects.

    O’Brien said €360 million has been allocated for walking and cycling infrastructure in 2026, highlighting the Government’s commitment to expanding active travel. He said investment would support safer, more sustainable transport options, while collaboration and knowledge-sharing would help deliver high-quality, accessible projects.

  2. Citybus and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to promote simulated driving training for bus captains and enhance road safety.

    Under the partnership, Citybus will pilot PolyU’s Intelligent Driving Training and Evaluation System, developed with Smart Traffic Fund support. The system combines Extended Reality (XR), AI-driven analysis and six-degree-of-freedom motion simulation to recreate scenarios including pedestrians crossing suddenly and adverse weather.

    The pilot began in July, with selected Citybus bus captains taking part in simulated training. Their performance and responses to emergencies will be recorded and analysed, allowing PolyU to refine the system based on operational needs.

    If successful, the partners will explore adapting the platform more closely to bus operations. They hope the findings will inform future training models and support safer public #transport in #HongKong.

  3. Richard is impressed by the slick engineering of UK manufacturer Flit, which has taken its already light M2 and shaved yet more weight in order to challenge for the title of the lightest folding electric bike. Find out which bike still edges it here:

  4. 🌿⦵ #Transport for #London (TfL) has published an updated Corporate #Environment Plan setting out more than 70 actions to make London’s transport network more resilient, reliable and #sustainable. The plan builds on progress since its first publication in 2021, including more than 3,000 zero-emission buses, expanded use of solar power and almost 18,000m² of Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) delivered last financial year.

    Future measures include adding at least 10,000m² of SuDS each year to 2035, maintaining 520,000m² of wildflower verges, expanding zero-emission fleets, installing more solar generation and supporting unveiled an updated environmental plan with more than 70 actions to cut emissions, improve biodiversity new rapid and ultra-rapid electric vehicle charging points.

    #TfL said the plan will help improve air quality, cut carbon emissions, protect biodiversity and prepare the network for increasingly frequent extreme weather events.

  5. "Heathrow expansion incompatible with UK climate targets, major report finds"

    geographical.co.uk/news/heathr

    existing approved airport extensions "mean that UK aviation is already projected to exceed its share of the Seventh Carbon Budget (the UK’s legally-binding carbon allowance between 2038 and 2042) by between 21 and 50 per cent."

  7. Moin,

    wir hören gerade ungehörte Wochenendrebellen-Folgen an.

    Und sind dabei auf ein tolles Zitat von Jason zum Bahnverkehr gestoßen:

    "Völlig egal, wie schlecht die Bahn jemals werden sollte, sie wird immer besser sein als alle Alternativen. Immer!" (ab 20:00 Min)

    Das teilen wir so.

  13. The Mayor of London, #Transport for #London (TfL), Unite the Union and London’s bus operators have agreed to install modern ventilation and air conditioning in all bus driver cabs that do not meet current standards by the end of May 2027.

    The agreement follows the creation of an Extreme Weather Taskforce, established to improve drivers’ working conditions amid increasingly frequent extreme weather and help futureproof the capital’s bus network.

    Trials are already under way on retrofitted New Routemasters, with testing in service and laboratory conditions helping determine how the systems can be introduced across different bus types. A second vehicle has also been fitted with an alternative system to support the development of a reliable supply chain.

    The taskforce is also examining measures including solar film, improved seating, better extreme weather planning, and access to hydration and welfare facilities.

  21. CW: unpopular opinion - For all those that frown upon it and gather in the streets, this is the reason.

    @0xabad1dea

    this brings up another subject, if one should even consider public transport or rather continue to congest and pollute the cities with one's own car.

    I'd choose independence and use my own car, as do millions others.
