Ted JohnsonA Madagascar cable car spotted in the wild today. (Squint and you'll see it.) Still not operational. Still not what 95% of Malagasy need – water, electricity, sidewalks, bike lanes.

Good News CommunityIn rural Zimbabwe, electric tricycles are empowering women by providing financial independence and boosting self-esteem. Women like Anna are now operating these green energy vehicles, contributing significantly to household expenses and gaining respect in their communities. The initiative by Mobility for Africa offers a lease-to-purchase program at $15 a month, making these tricycles accessible to many. <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/goodnews" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@goodnews</a> <a href="https://mastodon.cosmicnation.co/tags/GoodNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoodNews</a> <a href="https://mastodon.cosmicnation.co/tags/WomenEmpowerment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WomenEmpowerment</a> <a href="https://mastodon.cosmicnation.co/tags/SustainableTransport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SustainableTransport</a> <a href="https://apnews.com/article/women-zimbabwe-rural-electric-tricycles-9a298da6e5f394bc6394cf61b940b4ed" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://apnews.com/article/women-zimbabwe-rural-electric-tricycles-9a298da6e5f394bc6394cf61b940b4ed</a>

Ciarán FerrieGood article by <a href="https://mastodon.green/@sadhbhoneill" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@sadhbhoneill</a> on changing to more sustainable transport patterns. She makes the point that behavioral change is a collective endeavour which needs to be supported by the government and local authorities. Relying on individuals to change their behavior in the way Sadhbh has done is not going to achieve the necessary modal shift. <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/SustainableTransport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SustainableTransport</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/ActiveTravel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActiveTravel</a> <a href="https://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025/03/25/six-months-ago-i-went-car-free-heres-how-its-going/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025/03/25/six-months-ago-i-went-car-free-heres-how-its-going/</a>

Ciarán FerrieSite visits at a retail park in Blanchardstown and an industrial estate in Neilstown mightn't sound like the makings of a pleasant morning out of the office, but today was a perfect day for the bike and I was able to take in both site visits and enjoy a cycle through the Phoenix Park and along the Grand Canal, as well as a short stop for lunch in Chapelizod.<a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/SustainableTransport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SustainableTransport</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/CarDependency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CarDependency</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/ActiveTravel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActiveTravel</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Mobility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mobility</a>
