Have you considered that those bike lanes may be empty because they are poorly designed, unsafe, or don’t go places people want to go?

I may be wrong but isnt the city planning to use a lot of the money made from congestion pricing to improve public transit? So sure some rich dude can afford to pay to drive in less congestion, but those fees would directly go to supporting transit that thousands of people rely on daily and may be getting more use since congestion pricing began.
North american cities had these too, many even had public transit street cars (basically a tram) running down the streets. Then the street cars were ripped out in favor of buses and cars then most of the buildings destroyed so people could park their cars, which everyone had now because the transit was demolished.
A big part of the problem is in North America, they won’t build that type of development anymore. New developments are almost exclusively either residential SFH or commercial strip malls. Prevously a building was flexible enough to go from a grocer with apartments above it then to a financial office then to full residential with relatively minor renovations in between. Now walmart has rules saying another big box store cant buy their abandoned big box store to prevent competition.
You should make it more like 12-16hrs. What if they get drunk and high again at the same time tomorrow?

We wouldn’t even have needed to increase their taxs (we still should) car infrastructure is so horrendously expensive that they would have been saving money by investing more in rail and transit instead of “just one more lane bro”
Or “your research results will hurt my profits, this media campaign will slander your credibility. We’ll do our own research, with blackjack and hookers, and bribed results”
Most of province 20 over the limit seems fine and you got a really mean cop if you got a ticket for it, even though we know speed, tailgating, agressive passing all increases the risk for a collision that tax payers ultimately pay for.
Some places build transit stations outside of cities or in specific locations for people to drive to there then transit into the city. This can help control where the cars are instead of havings thousands of cars all trying to find on street parking downtown.
Thats more a problem inherrent to how america builds its cities than it is a problem inherrent to the bicycle. I agree we still need to buld rail, but you would likely still have to increase density to get good ridership. Otherwise you start to sacrafice speed for frequent stops serving low density. A problem many buses already face.
Probably helps a little bit in keeping some insects off the tiger as well.
Often times being pushed so far from their work because their city downtown is 60% parking lots and it illegal to build any new buildinga unless they are luxury condos or mcmansions.
If the city still had decent density, they could easily live closer to work.
You can start with politicians like Doug Ford in Ontario, Canada. He passed bills letting him rip out fairly new bike lanes from Ontario’s largest city’s downtown, banning the entire province from building new bike lanes without his approval, and hidden in his bill is legislation that lets him build highways without doing any environmental assessments.
All while Canada is in a economic and housing crisis, a time where bicycles and bike lanes can lower cost of living and support denser housing developments.
I could defintely see someone stealing a bike and not realizing the battery is missing, they could have just assumed the battery was dead.
User choose to install their own software, meaning its now the softwares fault the car killed a pedestrian.
I’m all for open source but even closed source profit based systems haven’t mastered self driving, this seems a little bit ridiculous to use on a public roadway.
Would a protest that involves protesters blocking the parade from moving result in an american tiananmen square?
Healthcare profits go up, what else would be the definition of a great america?
Look at those little murder mitts
It wasn’t an avian terrorist, it was a malfunctioning government drone! Birds are not real.
