lnkd.in/eM5rByPS GOVERNMENT'S NEW LAWS COULD ACTUALLY MAKE RAIL DISRUPTION WORSE, GOVERNMENT ADMITS

lnkd.in/eM5rByPS New laws to keep the railways going during strikes could end up making the disruption worse by encouraging more strikes and causing staff shortages, the Government has admitted.

lnkd.in/eM5rByPS Union boss Mick Lynch has insisted the stoppages would be “indefinite” and accused Jeremy Hunt of blocking a resolution to the dispute.

🚗 FUN FACT - SUVs are the world's 6th largest polluter (if they were ranked as a country)

😷 Total emissions of all the SUVs globally is more than Germany, Saudi Arabia and South Korea

🌍 But despite the fact we are facing a #ClimateEmergency, car makers are still pushing SUVs

In fact, Growing demand for SUVs was the second largest contributor to the increase in global CO2 emissions from 2010 to 2018. #pollution

The increase in global #emissions from SUVs was more than heavy industry, shipping and #aviation

theguardian.com/environment/ng…

But there's more

⛽ Oil consumption from SUVs reached 5.5 million barrels per day in 2020.

🚗 Emissions from SUVs have nearly tripled over the past decade.

⚡ Even electric SUVs contribute to pollution through higher amount of particulates from tyres.

Fancy Women Bike Ride, Edmonton {Yeg Fietssters}

@FWBRyeg

Another, recent research paper we hope urban infrastructure planners have read:
nature.com/articles/s4159…

Researchers Szell et al synthesized an urban bike network development model, then tested it against reality of 62 cities. Their findings point to the need for city authorities to recognize the need to get to a critical threshold, quickly. /2

IOWs "cities must invest into bicycle networks with the right growth strategy, and persistently, to surpass a critical mass."
(Remember the time @CityofEdmonton built a #bikelane, then removed it? Apparently a classic cold feet/shying at an initial decreasing return error). /3

[Thread #Transport #RATP] 5 choses que vous ne saviez pas sur le #métro parisien ! #Episode2

Vous pensiez tout connaitre sur le métro ? Je suis sûr que je peux quand même encore vous apprendre un truc ou 2 🚇😋

1/ La 4 qui passe à Montparnasse, c’est provisoire. Depuis 1910. 👴🧓

La 4 n’aurait jamais dû passer par Montparnasse : elle devait relier Denfert Rochereau tout droit jusqu’à la rue de Rennes via le tout nouveau boulevard Raspail, tout juste percé.

(Mal)heuresement, le percement du bd Raspail pris un peu de retard, et il fut décidé de dévier PROVISOIREMENT la 4 par le bd du Montparnasse (passant donc devant la gare éponyme).
Et de créer l’amorce du tunnel pour reprendre le trajet initial le jour où le bd serait prêt.

#Technology: "One way to reduce #transport emissions relatively quickly, and potentially globally, is to swap cars for #cycling, e-#biking and #walking – active travel, as it’s called."

theconversation.com/cycling-is-ten… #solutions

"Tackling the #climate and air #pollution #crises requires curbing all motorised #transport, particularly private cars, as quickly as possible. Focusing solely on #ElectricVehicles is slowing down the race to zero emissions."

"We also estimate that urban residents who switched from driving to cycling for just one trip per day reduced their carbon footprint by about half a tonne of CO₂ over the course of a year, and save the equivalent emissions of a one-way flight from London to New York."

1/ Les métros freinent avec des freins en bois. 🌳

Les plus vieux matériels encore roulants, MP59 (M11), MF67 (M3,3b,10,12) et MP73 (M6) sont en effet équipés de sabots en bois de hêtre, imprégnés d’huile d’arachide.
Ces sabots viennent serrer la roue roue métallique pour faire

ralentir la rame (il y a aussi d’autres systèmes en compléments par moment).
Certains conducteurs qui ont la main un peu lourde sur le frein peuvent ainsi faire fumer (littéralement) les sabots. Dégageant une sublime odeur de hêtre🥰

[Thread #Transport #SNCF] Le sachiez-tu ? Dans les #TGV et Corail, les places commencent à 11. Il n'existe pas de sièges n°19-20. Ni n°29-30. Et le placement a l'air complètement aléatoire ! 🚄💺

Mais savez-vous pourquoi ? 🤔🔎

Pour comprendre, il faut remonter au temps des voitures à compartiments !

À l'époque, chaque compartiment comporte 8 places en 2nd, 6 places en 1ère.
Le 1er compartiment de la voiture comprend ainsi les places 1.1 à 1.8 (abrégées 11 à 18). Le second compartiment, 21 à 28. Etc...

Voilà pourquoi on saute les 19-20, car on parle en "compartiment" (et si vous avez bien suivi, en 1ère classe, c'est même les n°17-18-19-20 qu'on saute).

Aeromedical evacuation of sick patients is a logistically complicated task. My direct experience is is slightly over 2 decades and involves pediatric fixed wing, rotor, and ground critical care transport. TO be clear I have performed this level of large scale evac.

Rotor wing transport is ideal in certain circumstances. It is relatively quick and can operate from point to point. ITs disadvantage is that it is unpresurized, has more weather and weight restrictions. The US Military has a robust Casualty evacuation (CASEVAC) or dustoff

Now we have dissaggregated @StateBank_Pak data on #Pakistan's #trade performance for the full of the FY22.

This thread will show performance in #values. not #volumes. Keep in mind FY22 was extraordinary in terms of high #prices, both for #imports and #exports. 👇👇👇🧵

1\ #Exports reached record highs, both #goods and #services, increasing by 26.6 and 17.1% respectively w.r.t. FY21. Good export prices and a decent #export response played a role here.

2\ #Pakistan #export growth was generalized by main destination. Particularly noticeable are increases in shipments to #USA and to #China - the two largest destinations.

Thread on State Transport Corporations of Tamil Nadu.
1.TNSTC buses carried 2 crore passengers a day in 2010-11.That number dropped by 2019 before Covid to 1.4 crore.During Covid it dropped to around 75 lakh per day. Post Covid,buses carry 50-60% of numbers they did 10 yrs ago

2.Number of buses operated has remained more or less the same over last 7-8 years at around 20000 buses
3.Number of staff has remained almost the same over last decade at between 122,000 to 126000.
4.Bus fares in TN are lower than neighboring states despite hikes in 2011 & 2018

5.Accumulated debt of STCs is now >33000 crore. Interest payment is >Rs.1800 crore/year.
6.Employees per bus ratio is 6.3 against National average of 5.5. In AP & Karnataka it is below 5. This means there are at least 16,000 more employees than there should be for no.of buses

Many results:
-(un)loading takes days, not hours
-#ports/#logistics hubs require 10x the land for specialized buildings to house #inventory
-shipping costs at least 3x (7x is probably more accurate)
-backlogs at all shipping hubs

-requires 10x the staff required to handle cargo
-MASSIVE expansion of corruption because everyone can see every bit of the cargo
