World's Worst & Best Cities for Traffic in 2024 (sound ON for easy narration)... the World Vehicle Traffic Index has arrived [a lower number is worse]. Covering the most traffic trends derived from actual tracking, this year’s edition surveys 387 cities around the globe and covers metrics such as congestion, average travel time, the impact of rush hour and the environmental impact of congestion in our cities. It also tracks the cost of driving which, in a world struck by an increase in the cost of living, is becoming an important consideration for many motorists. Here are the headlines from this year’s report. The full report from TomTom, is here; https://lnkd.in/gfiJsu2a

TomTom presented last year's list of the most congested cities. In an equally infamous, second place is Łódź, where the average speed of a car is 22 km/h. Łódź gave way only to Wrocław. How can these statistics be changed? By investing in environmentally friendly public transportation 🌿. Recently, the city has been investing dynamically in new electric buses 🚌, and for the past few years it has been developing its tram network, modernizing old trams and purchasing new units 🚋. Enika has participated in several projects, supplying drives for the NF6D trams and modern Cityrunners. And more joint projects are planned. Thanks to projects that develop sustainable transportation, Łódź has a good chance to fall out of the inglorious list next year and become more #ecofriendly.

Things our Resource & Planning Team (Leighann Radley & Margot Vanwynendaele) does when travelling together 😂 - Arriving 30 minutes earlier at the station 😅 - Having a clearly defined rendez-vous point. - Print our digital tickets (we never know, our 3 devices may run out of battery at the exact same time) 😂 - Talking about how many hours we have left on the train before we arrive. - Check Google map on multiple devices to make sure we all have the same info. - Agree on breakfast time the next day (very important). - Share localisation with each other when separated by 200 meters at the train station #Thegeekygang #LifeAtTrainline

When traveling through a city, people will choose the mode that is reliable, convenient, and comfortable. Street performance is conventionally measured based on how many vehicles can travel through, and how fast they're traveling. But by measuring the number of people moved on a street, we can make a strong case for bike, pedestrian, and transit improvements.

Efficiency is key in the race against time. 🚶♂️🚴♀️🚍 When moving people efficiently, the best solutions are often the simplest. Walking, biking, and public transit are more efficient than driving individual cars—even those hailed as the future, like EVs, AVs, rideshares, or taxis. When we prioritize these modes, we’re not just saving time; we’re creating opportunities. Less time stuck in traffic means more investment in what truly matters. Let’s shift our focus (and our modes) and investments like Nashville's proposed Choose How You Move transportation improvement program towards these tried-and-true solutions. After all, if time is money, investing in efficient transit means more time—and more value—for everyone. #mobilitymatters #investinpeople #walk #bike #publictransit

Attending a live performance by your favorite artist is an unforgettable experience. However, it can quickly turn sour if you find yourself stuck for hours trying to exit the venue. That's where the importance of meticulous planning comes in. Some elements to consider for a smoother event experience: •Efficient Marshalling In and Out: Streamlining the entry and exit process ensures a swift and orderly flow, minimizing congestion and delays. •Road Capacity Limitations: Understanding and accounting for road capacity limitations helps in managing traffic flow, and preventing bottlenecks that can impede your post-event departure. •Park-and-Ride Shuttle Buses: Explore the option of setting up park-and-ride shuttle buses to provide convenient transportation solutions, reducing the reliance on personal vehicles and easing the exit process. These thoughtful considerations not only ensure a seamless exit but also contribute to a more enjoyable and stress-free event for everyone :) #Eventprofs

🧭 There are different ways to reach the same destination. When you navigate to a location using GPS, it provides you with 4-5 different routes. By foot, by car, my cycle, by bus or by train. Don’t want to spend money? Walk. Want to avoid the city traffic? Train. Want to get there comfortably? Car. Want to get a workout in, in the bargain? Cycle. You pick the one that suits your situation the best. You pick the one that offers the least friction to the purpose of your journey. You pick the one that is the most efficient with accomplishing the goal of the trip you’re making. While the decisions may be obvious when navigating to a physical destination, we often forget that the same logic applies to our daily lives. We set goals, pick a path to reach them, complain about the journey along the way, and end up giving up - because most of the time we haven’t put enough thought into our unique preferences and needs. We set ourselves up for failure before we even set forth on our journeys. Pick the path of least resistance and most efficience (I made up that word, but you get the point).
