"Making more flyovers/roads to solve congestion is like buying bigger pants to solve obesity." - Shreya Gadepalli
When a city decides to do something, nothing can stop it! Something exciting is coming soon in the hills of India—stay tuned!
Have you heard of the Triple 5? It's a new term for a sure-shot way to solve a city's mobility vows.
Our Founder, Shreya Gadepalli shares today with @NewIndianXpress @cshivakumar

'The prevailing ethos of car use epitomizes a deep-seated culture of individualism in travel behavior. Rooted in liberalism, this approach prioritizes maximizing one’s own utility, often at the expense of the collective good.'

1/ 2 Dear @TOIBengaluru its unfortunate to see you write that street vendors are 'plaguing church street'. In your own picture you can see cars crowding the street. Is church street only for the rich? Only big coffee shops, pubs &cars are valid occupants of church street is it?

When we let cars reign our streets, we'll inevitably have to cage our children. But as soon as we turn that around, magic happens!
Let's go 🪄🦄!

This is the map of cities in USA that offer free public transport (PT)
USA is not a role model for PT (Europe is) yet, super capitalist USA is trying free PT because the benefits far outweigh costs.
Free Public Transport is a Global Phenomenon

Whether we have the space to move more & more people as cities grow, plus room for all the OTHER important things that make streets & cities great, depends ENTIRELY on HOW we choose to move. And how design makes better choices easier or harder. HT @NACTO

#Dehradun says enough of anti-green policies in the city.
“Dumb and green at 30 degree Celsius was better than smart & stinking at 43 degree Celsius.”
Citizens (silent) protest against AMC's decision to cut 100 full-grown trees for a flyover.
Even if there is a promise of planting more trees, we know that it's not the same.
How much does a flyover really cost? Destruction needs to be counted. #AMC

When Brussels Mobility Minister @ElkeVDBrandt began curbing traffic in 2019, there were death threats, protests, and predictions of her political demise.
This week, she doubled her vote count and became the most popular Dutch-speaking politician in parliament in the past decade.
