Il #trasportoPubblico non è solo Europa e Asia. L'esempio di #Bogotà
Dopo aver sviluppato il sistema di #BusRapidTransit #BRT (#TransMilenio) più grande al mondo, la città sta costruendo 2 linee metro di superficie. Inoltre è dotata di una cabinovia urbana #TransMiCable per raggiungere una zona altrimenti esclusa.
A completare il quadro ci sono ben 370 km di #ciclabili!
Mi piacerebbe sentire l'esperienza di qualcuno che ci è stato!

A glimpse of what’s possible when cities prioritize moving people over moving cars. But it takes more than huge buses and electrification to address transport injustice.

Century-old streetcar tracks exposed in Denver should reminds us: transitioning to car-centric urban planning was a mistake that the global South can avoid.

“Denver’s most known commercial corridors — Tennyson Street, South Pearl, South Broadway, Colfax and more — are destinations today because of that urban planning effort 100 years ago.
So there’s a little irony here …that the old rail has been exposed by an effort to improve transit in the city.”

CDOT is going to spend $300M on Federal #BRT in #Denver, not on the bus but on widening the road so that drivers dont lose a lane. then for two miles they're just leaving the bus stuck in traffic bc they can't widen the road. so all this money being spent and no improved transit. then they'll be upset that no one is riding the very expensive bus that's stuck in traffic. weaponized incompetence.

Building lower cost #BRT (bus rapid transit) systems in NYC & elsewhere isn't rocket science. It just takes the political will to dedicate the street space to the higher use of moving large numbers of commuters on transit rather than in private cars #GlorietadelosInsurgentes #CDMX
