In Athens we are doing Friday night bike rides starting at 10 pm from Thission station, going till 2 or 3 am and covering about 50 km. The latest rides have seen crowds of about 1-2000. There is some police assistance but the route is not made known - just the destination the day before - and we follow the cyclists in the lead. The atmosphere is fantastic - the cyclists range in age from little

I'd thought it would be interesting to share some insights from The Car Sharing Policy in the Netherlands.
1- define target groups accordingly: Convenience(hedonists) vs. Environmentalist
2- have a state/nationwide campaign that introduces car sharing
3- selling argument= don't focus on "rational arguments" rather deal with the "emotional" significance

Citizens called for a speed camera on road, but a speed camera would not have prevented this. to prevent pedestrian accidents govt has to follow strict policy against them who don't follow traffic rules & imposing speed limits. because Motor vehicles and small children pedestrians can make for a dangerous

Thanks for raising this issue, Eric. I agree with several who've already commented: local context is important.

For a time I was a frequent user of a free bus system in the resort town of Ketchum, Idaho, and believe the town's traffic conditions and air quality would have suffered without the system. The fare-free feature definitely encouraged its use. In this situation,

If local governments make public transport free, should they also distribute free bicycles and free shoes to develop cycling and walking?

I am looking forward with interest your publications.

I've read an article sometime ago, and according to it, the top reason road accidents occur is speeding. I hope that government or even local officials should take responsibility on strictly imposing speed limits to avoid or even prevent road casualties.

Unfortunately, I am not surprised that this article fails to mention bicycles. It seems the Singaporean government, too, is guilty of not giving any thought to the most energy-efficient form of land transport ever devised.

To speak of a country's "transportation secrets" is to suggest that there is something we can learn from such a place -- that such a place is in some

Performance-pricing for on-street parking is very important and useful. But it is only part of Donald Shoup's wider parking reform agenda, which includes eliminating off-street parking requirements. Together these point towards some profound change I think.

See for example my post on this today: http://reinventingtransport.blogspot.com/2010/06/

"Shifting to such seductive concepts as electric cars, bio or new fuels, hybrids, alternative fueling networks, and any of the "clean technology" technical fixes that do so well to capture media attention will do NOTHING to deal with these challenges, which need to be faced here and now."

To add to this - even were these things ready to be implemented right now, no

I note that Berlin's LEZ system was quoted as having offered funding to private motorists and temporary derogations to commercial traffic. Would the latter have overcome the problem in London where 2 cross boundary bus routes were axed on the day London's LEZ scheme started to apply to buses ?

I dare say the problem wouldn't have arisen in Germany where bus services are not

Very good except for what I consider to be a cheap shot: "...... ? with expensive metro systems thrown in for good measure."

The author goes on to make the statement: "Dense, mixed-use, walkable urban spaces are recognized the world over as the most creative and dynamic environments."

Metros facilitate this kind of environment and don't belong in

Hi Eric,
for those who want to know more about Low Emission Zones please read my article "Berlins Environmental Zone" published on Parisar website:
http://www.parisar.org/news/111-berlins-environmental-zone-.html

The Senate of Berlin asks on the last page of its brochure: Umweltzone – ist das alles? (Environmental Zone-is that all?) and gives the answer:

As a member of the Canada transportation climate change table prior to signing the Kyoto agreement I advocated including healthcare costs as an externality to fund public transit. – Public transit much safer than cars hence use cost savings health death injury lost time productivity avoided by lack of car use to public transit. My guess is that this would make

I live on a very busy street in Berlin. I generally agree with what Martin Lutz is saying but still there is a huge difference in noticeable air quality between a weekday evening rush hour and a Sunday morning (with all other things being equal: The notorious overcast sky in the German capital -- I call it "Berlin Grau" -- definitely seems to keep pollutants around). Why is this? The

There is a new study by McCubbin and Delucchi (2010) that I have found quite useful and I am attaching here.
