Al<a href="https://mastodon.world/@davidho" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@davidho</a> I'm always amazed that the folks in cars complain about a <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/bikeLane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bikeLane</a> but never realize that more bikes means fewer cars in front of them slowing down traffic.Just like urban buses and trains should be paid for by folks in <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/SUV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SUV</a>, its the <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/car" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#car</a> drivers that get the benefit of more folks taking public transit not the poor person trying to find exact change.We don't need better ways to collect the fare, we need a more fair way to fund the <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/publicTransit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#publicTransit</a>; system; <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/bus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bus</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/train" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#train</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/bike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bike</a>.

RailmapsToday's historic photo of the day: A line-up of former South Australian Railways 'Bluebird' diesel railcars stabled at Keswick Terminal, Adelaide, April 10 1985.Between 1954 and 1959 the SAR built a fleet of air-conditioned diesel railcars to modernise rural passenger <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/train" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#train</a> services across South Australia. They were creatures of their era, built with chrome fluting and deep blue colour scheme. Widely known as 'Bluebirds' each passenger car was named after a species of bird found in SA.

Ça peut permettre de faire de grosses économies.Exemple : La Bretagne ne propose pas de carte de réduction. Les Pays de la Loire ont la carte Mezzo (-50%).

Tim RichardsJust received (belatedly) my contributor copy of The Intrepid List, a travel book published last year by Hardie Grant in association with Intrepid Travel. It's a fun hefty coffee table book with 100 travel experiences; for the Slow Travel section I wrote about the California Zephyr train (USA) and the Glacier Express (Switzerland). Pleased with how it came out, and they even used a few of my images including a full-page version of the attached photo I took at Chicago's Union Station.
