Why Oktoberfest matters to St. Louis - NextSTL

It’s autumn in St. Louis — so while the pumpkin spice crowd lines up for lattes, we’re raising steins instead. So dust off the lederhosen and dirndls, tip your Alpine hat, and loosen up those polka kn...

Three newly published books argue that cars are destroying society as well as the planet.

Is the world finally ready to rein in the automobile?

My essay, in @bloomberg.com (gift link below)

‘Car Brain’ Is Making the US Unhealthy and Dangerous. EVs Won’t Fix It.

A trio of new books argue that we need to confront the full range of costs that car-based living has imposed on our cities, our health and our society.

The head of Vancouver’s transit agency can sum its ridership recovery in one word: Frequency.

“Running the bus every 30 minutes isn’t going to cut it if you want to grow ridership.“

Many Vancouver 🚌 run every 5min or less, and the SkyTrain runs every 3-4min, via @davidzipper.bsky.social

The Secret to Vancouver’s Public Transit Ridership Recovery

The Canadian city’s transit agency, TransLink, bounced back from Covid even as other North American systems have struggled. Its leader explains why riders returned.

Coerced car dependency kills

Chris Orlet @orlet.bsky.social · 2d

The way we've designed our cities and suburbs means 88 year olds have no choice but to drive. It's not like they can stroll down to the grocery store. Our car-dependent cities force 88-years to drive. And they are slaughtered. @nextstl.com tinyurl.com/y6dz635s

4 dead after wrong-way crash on I-170 near I-70, including 88-year-old driver

An 88-year-old man drove the wrong way on I-170, crashing head-on into a Jeep. He died, along with all three people in the other vehicle.

As Mark and I bid farewell to 11 great fourth graders all taking their BWorks bikes home from Oak Hill Elementary earlier today after six weeks of BWorks Earn-A-Bike class, we were soon mobbed, beautifully, by a handful of now-fifth graders from last year's bike classes at the school. 1/2

Is climate really a barrier to making cities walkable? Only if you listen too much to elites ... humantransit.org/2025/10/nobo...

"Nobody Walks Here. It's too Hot or Cold or Wet or Dry." — Human Transit

Almost everywhere I travel as a consultant, someone asks me whether it’s realistic to expect people to walk given the extremes of their climate. They don’t just ask me this in Edmonton and Singapore. ...
