I used to live and bike in Philly on the bike share and it was pretty good back in 2015, have things just stalled out or something?

Yeah the Big Dummy is the other closest thing I found. Got any thoughts on it vs the Mundo Lux?

If that works for you great. Those little front wheels and cargo out front is just not the direction Im looking to go, I’m basically wanting a gravel bike with cargo carrying by default.

I just don’t think I want the default to be storing cargo out front, I like pulling stuff from behind.

I did the same thing when the pandemic was over, although I’m never really sure where to go in my neighborhood so in effect I hardly ever eat out

“Can’t do a congestion charge until…” Is another I’ve heard lately

The TLDR is that the city isn’t focusing on getting costs down on things that have produced good (Metro) or promising (Automated Light Rail) results. It is focusing on things that didn’t end up being great investments (BRT) or that we haven’t done (Trams).

Based on the experience in Quebec City, trams are expensive AF to build here. RapidBus is something the city should look into, it sits between a BRT and a buslane. Easy to roll out quickly. When routes hit capacity, skip the tram and go straight to metro/REM.

Literally a blog post written by a public transit supporter.

Wow. Nice. Congestion charges literally go towards improving transit. Also government in Canada are already spending record amounts on building transit. If you need to go into a zone that would have a congestion charge in Canada (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver) you would have at least a park and ride option.
