“White Female Mamdani”?

Seattle mayor Katie Wilson added a BUS LANE.

Daily Mail is pure garbage.

    Maybe I’m just a dumbass, but I think your rule of thumb is busted?

    X should be slower than A, but should not be faster than A + B.

    Isn’t slower the same as “not faster”? I think it should be slower than A, but faster than A + B. So between A and A + B.

    Or “the bus should be faster if it’s already here, but cycling should be faster if you’d have to wait for the bus”. I think that’s what you were going for.

      Yeah, almost. Cycling shouldn’t be much faster than having to wait. If it is, either the route has too many stops or a low frequency.

      My average cycle speed at around 10 kmph (minimal effort, no hills, some red lights) and if a bus can’t match this…

      Give it better signalling, dedicated lanes to skip traffic, etc.

      My ‘can’t hold attention long enough to read all the words’ brain auto-converted it to

      My rule of thumb is: taking a cycle should be slower than bus but should not be slower than waiting time + the ride.

      which must be what they meant.
