As someone forced to ride my bike right next to thundering trucks and cars on the roads every day, I can't begin to enumerate how many close calls I've had because there are no bike lanes here. (lemmy.world)

Fuck your existing lanes and fuck your 1.5-tonne beasts. Make some space, it won't fucking kill you.

Oh, Not Just Bikes has a video on Finns vs. Canadians.

Thanks for the link. 🙂

How do cities decide on which busses to buy?

The selection probably isn't as good as cars.

Who will build a bridge?

idk. Maybe some mafia front that under-bids, but raises the price when they're halfway done?

I understand that it’s harder to fix what’s fucked up than to improve what was still functional but “oh it’s hard” is not an argument with which you can counter “it’s better”. I never said it would be easy.

I was agreeing with your statement "though understandable as bike lanes are quite a bit cheaper than building public transit from scratch."
