"Abolishing fares makes public transport more attractive to drivers, to help get them out of their cars. It also gives instant support to public transport users, whose journeys are far less fuel-intensive", @farefreelondon.bsky.social says www.farefreelondon.org/posts/free-p...

Between the Impossible and the Inevitable: The Case for Defiance (aka Never F**king Surrender) I have been hesitating to hit send on this one, because across the world we are all under the shadow of Trump's threat to commit war crimes that will "eradicate a whole civilization" in Iran while Ira...

Claims we have no power to impact what happens are nevertheless an intervention in what will happen, by discouraging participation, by encouraging passivity, surrender, acquiescence. If you insist that a given outcome is inevitable, you are lobbying against resistance.

How US-Israeli war gave Iran all the cards in the Middle East Tehran has established control over the Strait of Hormuz, while uniting the Arab world behind it - and crushing Netanyahu's dreams of regional domination

How US-Israeli war gave Iran all the cards in the Middle East: ‘Tehran has established control over the Strait of Hormuz, while uniting the Arab world behind it - and crushing Netanyahu’s dreams of regional domination.’

Right now, there are tens of millions of Iranians waiting to find out if Donald Trump will exterminate their civilisation.

Absolutely hideous.

They need our solidarity.

The BBC just helped normalise nuclear extermination.

This is insane.

Donald Trump is openly flaunting his war crimes.

There is no outrage.

We are descending into barbarism 👇

Public transport to be free for Victorians in April as fuel prices climb The Victorian government says public transport will be free across the state in April in a bid to relieve cost-of-living pressure as fuel prices continue to climb.

With fuel prices soaring due to the war in the Gulf, authorities in Victoria (Australia) and Tasmania have decided to make public transport free for the whole of April. Because they know that it helps people switch away from cars.

Thanks. You're right: our public transport in London is better than elsewhere in UK. But it's v v expensive for low income households, & it's not "green", it's part of a car-centred system that's trashing clinate targets.

Speeding towards climate breakdown London’s car-centred transport policies turbocharge climate danger.

London's car-centred transport policies wreck efforts to address climate change and undermine the city's own emissions reduction targets. Drastic action is needed, including free public transport and big investment in active travel. My article in @theecologist.org theecologist.org/2026/mar/18/...

They say projects using non-pipeline transport, such as Cory’s ships, should not be considered. "A government consultation on non-pipeline transport, running until Friday, 1 May 2026, could further frustrate Cory." 3/3 @greenwich.greenparty.org.uk @victoriarance.bsky.social @karinlt.bsky.social

"Cory claims it will generate electricity to power 371,000 homes,but is more likely to put less than half of that into the grid [...] incinerator expansion will encourage local authorities to send waste for burning that could be avoided or recycled". peopleandnature.wordpress.com/2026/03/02/c...

Today, fares for tube, rail and DLR journeys in London will go up by 6% (and so will journeys by River Bus and the cable car across the Thames). Putting public transport fares up in London is a political choice and it’s the wrong one.
