Just looked at Goodreads for my book: 4.70 out of 5 from 27 ratings!
Right now 17 people are reading it and 41 want to.
If you've read it, a short review there would mean a lot: goodreads.com/book/show/2374…
And if you haven't yet: kovyla.pub/dimko

If everyone on NYC mass transit switched to driving: ~1.28B trips/yr → 24/7 gridlock.
Drivers already waste $9.5k/yr sitting in traffic (~$15k in Manhattan).
Transit isn’t subsidized by drivers, transit is the only thing that makes driving possible. 🚇🚗💸

I fear next week's Twitter cabbie meltdown over Oxford Street's pedestrianisation will be apocalyptic. In 3 months' time, no one will care and will wonder why it wasn't done years ago
Remember the outrage when they removed cars from Trafalgar Square? Aldwych? Now, no one cares

If you’re a member of the Liberal party you should write to your MPs to ask what’s going on here.
Adding apartment buildings around the three(!) new Metro stations in the Drummoyne electorate shows “contempt” for it apparently.

Hopefully this is the start of a lot pf sensible and much needed upgrades to the existing rail network. Much of which was neglected under the previous government

A reminder that Sydney's just opened secondary airport is beating Melbourne Airport on PT access to surrounding suburbs. More, including a plan to better connect Melbourne Airport, here:

Local councils are excessively obstructionist.
95% of refusals that are appealed are overturned.
"Local control" is code for stopping new homes.

Calling a corrugated iron shed in a Geelong sheep paddock a 'competing international airport' is elite levels of Melbourne cope

My reasons re-tweeting:
1. ❤️ @metrodesantiago
2. Improving PT isn’t the terrain of only ‘progressives’. Hell, in Chile even a dictatorship thought it important
3. Since opening, it’s still dev: 7 lines + 2 in dev
4. Why such little commitment to improving PT in Vic?

University Avenue during rush hour. Better rip out those bike lanes and relieve the horrendous traffic.
