More cities should follow and push people to use transferiums.
Not Just Bikes
An attempt to recreate the /r/NotJustBikes community on Lemmy. I'm just reserving the Community Name, other folks (for instance the /r/NotJustBikes mods?) are welcome to take over.
NOTE: This sublemmy (?) is in no way related to or affiliated with NotJustBikes, Jason Slaughter, etc.
#RULES
1. Be nice. Please.
I know it's the internet, but be nice. And report trolls & spammers.
2. No memes
No memes, image macros, or low-effort posts. These are easily upvoted, but they pollute the subreddit very quickly.
POSTING MEMES WILL RESULT IN A TEMPORARY BAN.
3. Stay on topic
Try to stick to posts and comments related to the themes of NJB videos, or content creation. Things like urban planning, mobility & transportation, social equity, Dutch culture, etc..
4. No Trolling
Go troll somewhere else. We don't need that shit here.
5. No comment screenshots
Please don't post screenshots of stupid comments as a post. We all know there are ignorant morons online, we don't need to bring even more attention to their stupid comments.
6. No vehicular cycling
I have no patience for advocates of vehicular cycling. You can talk about vehicular cycling, but if you promote it as an alternative to safe bike infrastructure, I will ban you. You can post that crap somewhere else.
7. No people being hit by cars/road violence
Do not show videos or pictures of people being hit by cars, or other road violence. We don't need to see that shit. We know cars are dangerous, and many people have bad memories of car crashes. Keep it out of this subreddit.
8. No tone policing
We don't need any more tone police. If you don't like the tone that Not Just Bike takes in his videos, there's a very easy solution: stop watching them.
9. No internet drama
Don't spread or promote drama over what has happened on the Internet. You're spending too much time online: go touch grass.
Were you there during the Transfermium wars?
Continues googling, oh right, park and rides. They're not that uncommon in the US, at least in the larger cities. Definitely the right response to folks saying they need to be able to drive anywhere and everywhere they want.
Newer Park and Rides are usually called just that. The 'transferium' terminology was more common in the naughties.
I loved the casual rant about entitled motorists when it came to the new gates, which slow emergency vehicles down.
These gates only exist because some motorists otherwise would not respect the rules. Thus, the emergency vehicles are actually slowed down by entitled motorists.
I like NJB for changing my perspective here and there in these ways.

Every day, this road brings in 27000 cars right through the center of the city.
So, they did what any reasonable municipality would do. ... They blocked it off to car traffic.
I just love the bold move. ❤️ Hope the experiment is successful and that they can make it permanent at some point.
good policy
