insightful ... will be also interesting to show the criss-cross movements of pedestrians ... showing the interrelational flow on both sides of a street and the interaction with buildings, especially the ground floor level.

As a taxpayer, where do we prefer to spend our money for? in addition to the difference between required infrastructure, it needs to accomplish a survey among different districts to identify the preference of those taxpayers on what transportation mode to use. #transportation #transit

I've seen this solution for road space in several posts and the argument that transitway is the most effecient way to address the limited road space. However, design solution should not be seen in isolation of the whole system to ensure practicallity. For example, when you use the public transportation you face several challenges, such as delays, cancellations, waiting time, connected trips, the long trips and the distance you walk to the nearest stop. All these are pain points need to addressed in order to design an effecient but also practical solution.

Marco Te Brömmelstroet 's post highlights a critical insight into urban space efficiency, and public transport plays a central role in achieving this vision. Specifically, I believe by prioritizing public transit over car-centric infrastructure, cities can free up valuable space for people, #green_areas, and #community_activities. Public transportation supports a more connected, sustainable city where space is used efficiently for everyone—not just for vehicles. This shift leads to cleaner, more vibrant urban environments, benefiting residents, local businesses, and the planet. 🚐🚅🚋🌳

🚦 Rethinking Urban #Mobility 🚦As urban populations grow, how we design our transportation infrastructure becomes more crucial than ever. A recent comparison highlights the astonishing capacity differences between various types of transport pathways: Car Lane:600 -1,600 people/hour 🚗 Bike Lane:7,500 people/hour 🚴♀️ Sidewalk:9,000 people/hour 👣 Transitway:10,000 -25,000 people/hour 🚌 These figures clearly illustrate the power of sustainable transportation options. Investing in bike lanes, sidewalks, and transit systems not only accommodates more people but also promotes healthier lifestyles and reduces congestion. 🌱 It’s time we prioritize smart infrastructure that supports the needs of our communities. #UrbanMobility #SustainableTransport #UrbanPlanning #PublicTransit #BikeCulture #SmartCities

A quick visual on efficiency: streets in today's cities are designed to accommodate the LEAST EFFICIENT mode of transport. Changing the mix is the cheapest and easiest way to move more people.

I have always enjoyed seeing this diagram. In fact it has shown up in a few different formats conveying similar messaging. The planning, or dynamic, between mode choice can be provocative. When and where each mode applies best. take the Sidewalk option for example and apply the first and last mile concept. Drop that down to half a mile between 2 desire points before catching a MRT. That may translate to 1,500 ppl/10 mins. now factor 2 sides of the street. 750 ppl/10 mins or 75ppl/minute. Granted, we need to separate peak hours from non- peak. Certainly more bang for the buck on civic investment on MRT. That can have a profound impact on community retail street environments and city proceeds benefit! #TOD #NUDP #Strategi
