Screencap of Tweet - "The launch of the first phase of the West Midlands Metro Eastside extension didn't quite go according to plan this morning, after a car was found on the tracks close to Snow Hill station."
New tram extension in Birmingham struggled on its very first day becuase of... a dumped car on the tracks. You couldn't make it up. #carsruincities
Driver entitlement > safety of people outside of cars

Daylighting intersections saves lives. This is the opposite of that.
Traffic is caused by too many cars. Next time take transit or use a smaller vehicle.

Cars are stationary, just taking up space more than 90% of the time. A depreciating asset that is repeatedly used to argue against housing people. #CarsRuinCities
Cars have fried people's brains.

Eh, it is though. It will force the necessary changes in personal consumption to either be low energy, or transition to a better source of energy, like in the '70s.
Will this be the death of the SUV or Prick Up trucks?
Also, #fuckcars #carsruincities
Just caught up with this fascinating conversation. Very worth a listen.
As #CarsRuinCities everywhere, so #UKCarCulture is ruining this country. But this conversation helps us imagine how we can turn that around, and how things could actually get better.

Empty intersection just seconds before a crash that injured nine people, two with life-threatening injuries. Horrific infrastructure development.
Horrific development. #carsruincities

The cost of expanding freeways is like 3x any possible benefit when you neglect all the damage cars do and consider only the land value. #noMoreFreeways #inducedDemand #CarsRuinCities

And now, everything will just get worse in this beleaguered city, and the inequalities of #UKCarCulture will just become more entrenched.
Birmingham once again the poster child for how #CarsRuinCities.
Guns and cars, cars and guns.

Planting outside school showing thick tyre tracks right through the plants & across the bed
Planting outside school showing thick tyre tracks right through the plants & across the bed
Hackney council did this planting outside my kids’ school so of course drivers are already ruining it. What type of sociopath do you have to be to drive/park in a flowerbed outside a school? Where does basic decency go when people get behind the wheel? #CarsRuinCities
When our cities subsidize and coerce driving, they are complicit.

Die sogenannt «Bürgerlichen» wollen sowohl die Velorouten-Initiative, als auch die Stadtklima-Vorlagen rückgängig machen – mit einem faulen #Parkplatzkompromiss am 14. Juni 2026. Für diese undemokratische Zwängerei haben die Auto-Parteien eine klare Niederlage verdient – schon am 8. März! Sage NEIN zur schäbigen Politik von SVP, FDP, Mitte und EVP – und wähle für Menschen, nicht Maschinen.
Ist «bürgerlich», wer permanent gegen den Willen der Bürger:innen agitiert?
Ich denke, wir sollten vielmehr von einer Parkplatz-Sekte sprechen.
#carsruincities
Oh hey, another war for oil. When will cities stop being complicit?
