The stadtnavi system, built on Trufi’s open-source platform, shows how cities can democratize mobility. Real-time updates, CO₂ comparisons, and weather alerts aren’t exclusive to Herrenberg—they’re open for any city to implement. The project’s success lies in its adaptability: a white-label solution that lets cities rebrand and expand it freely.

Yesterday the government published the draft National Planning Framework. The section on Galway City is full of sensible plans for compact urban development and sustainable transport.

In rural Zimbabwe, electric tricycles are empowering women by providing financial independence and boosting self-esteem. Women like Anna are now operating these green energy vehicles, contributing significantly to household expenses and gaining respect in their communities. The initiative by Mobility for Africa offers a lease-to-purchase program at $15 a month, making these tricycles accessible to many.

Good article by @sadhbhoneill on changing to more sustainable transport patterns. She makes the point that behavioral change is a collective endeavour which needs to be supported by the government and local authorities. Relying on individuals to change their behavior in the way Sadhbh has done is not going to achieve the necessary modal shift.

Site visits at a retail park in Blanchardstown and an industrial estate in Neilstown mightn't sound like the makings of a pleasant morning out of the office, but today was a perfect day for the bike and I was able to take in both site visits and enjoy a cycle through the Phoenix Park and along the Grand Canal, as well as a short stop for lunch in Chapelizod.

Especially electrifying public transport. As well as improving the UX of services, eg linking them up across regions, and the whole country. So they become practical and pleasant to use, instead of being the transport equivalent of wearing a hair shirt.
