The future of transportation isn’t the #Hyperloop* or self-driving cars. It’s the bus, the bike and the elevator. Via @slate.com.

AND it’s better land-use & infrastructure decisions, reprioritizing space & budgets, accessible streets, & smart pricing mechanisms.

*hyperloop was always a distraction

Can Germany stop extremism by banning a far-right party? Some want to try.
Banning Alternative for Germany, a far-right party, might seem undemocratic but Germany’s constitution allows such prohibitions to prevent a repeat of Nazism.
