How can car traffic in cities be reduced? New research by CSH's @rafaelprietocuriel.bsky.social shows that while metros are effective in reducing car traffic, a study of nearly 400 European cities finds no evidence that trams have the same effect: csh.ac.at/news/metros-...
Metros Cut Car Use In European Cities – Trams Fall Short
People drive significantly less in European cities with a metro system than in cities that only have trams or no rail-based public transport at all.

Computing travel time matrices in r⁵py from #geopandas #DataFrame is two lines of code:

(1) create an r5py.TransportNetwork from @openstreetmap.bsky.social and #GTFS data

(2) turn it into an r5py.TravelTimeMatrix()

Try it out in #binder: r5py.readthedocs.io/stable/user-...

Mayor of Paris: "Our streets are gradually being reintroduced to residents, new trees are being planted, and walks are being made easier and safer."
Notre ville change ! Nos rues sont peu à peu rendues aux habitants, de nouveaux arbres sont plantés et les promenades facilitées et sécurisées.

C'est le cas de la rue Chaptal dans le 9e ou celle du Docteur-Lecène dans le 13e !
