So that people in Penicuick (or other orbital dormitories) advertised for car shares.?

Headline should read:</p> <p>"Large group of motorists get together to create congestion"</p> <p>Yes, I know - "we don't have a choice but to drive" - possibly true for some, but not all. In a place like Edinburgh, it would take a relatively small reduction in traffic to all but eliminate rush hour congestion. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18714#post-279635 Fri, 06 Apr 2018 10:41:13 +0000 gembo 279635@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ah, thought cyclingmollie being ironic. The case is for banning private cars or at least heavily taxing single occupant vehicles (apocryphal increase in inflatable dolls sales for the passenger seat when Seattle tried this back when technology was poorer, see also Athens when people have two number plates to use car on days the other number plate is not allowed) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18714#post-279631 Fri, 06 Apr 2018 10:32:34 +0000 neddie 279631@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>I wonder if there's a case for allowing commercial vans to use the bus lanes?</em></p> <p>The law of unintended consequences says that office workers will buy commercial vehicles to use in order to "speed up" their commute... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18714#post-279603 Fri, 06 Apr 2018 09:00:57 +0000 gembo 279603@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>In trixie's vid-ay-oh every single car In the thousands the bikes undertake using the bus lane was driven by a single occupant. Even the driver of the silver BMW who thinks his/her car is a bus, has no passengers.? The bearded follow in the shorts (Cold day for shorts?) predicts Cjsm from newington to bypass. The comment under the film about the Dutch Approach to private cars nails it. </p> <p>People seem welded to their vehicles in Edinburgh and environs. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18714#post-279594 Fri, 06 Apr 2018 08:19:17 +0000 Calum 279594@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That's nice. I waste hours of my life stuck behind drivers (on the bus). When is somebody going to look out for me?</p> <p>This "article" is just a press release by the car industry. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18714#post-279593 Fri, 06 Apr 2018 07:59:14 +0000 I were right about that saddle 279593@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>'Aberdeen is congestion hotspot' under a picture of central Oxford. Scotland's paper of record, eh?</p> <p>People cycle in Oxford. Aberdeen is utterly hostile to cyclists. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18714#post-279591 Fri, 06 Apr 2018 00:11:44 +0000 Cyclingmollie 279591@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That's impressive. I wonder if there's a case for allowing commercial vans to use the bus lanes? It does seem like the city's commerce is stuck in a sea of private cars. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18714#post-279589 Thu, 05 Apr 2018 23:31:42 +0000 Trixie 279589@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I came across this from yesterday which gave me a chuckle. <a href="https://youtu.be/ZK-lgRaHPH8" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/ZK-lgRaHPH8</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18714#post-279588 Thu, 05 Apr 2018 23:28:30 +0000 crowriver 279588@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Maybe they should get a life and travel some other way? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18714#post-279587 Thu, 05 Apr 2018 23:08:34 +0000 chdot 279587@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/16140701.Aberdeen_is_Scotland_s_congestion_hotspot/" rel="nofollow">http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/16140701.Aberdeen_is_Scotland_s_congestion_hotspot/</a> </p>
