A new Bill in #Wales aims to transform local bus services, making them more reliable, affordable, and integrated. The Bus Services (Wales) Bill proposes one network, one timetable, and one ticket across Wales, coordinated nationally with local input. It seeks to improve service delivery via franchised contracts with private, public, and third-sector operators. The Bill tackles issues like poor reliability, unaccepted tickets, and lack of integration with other #transport modes. Benefits include better service, easier transitions between #buses and #trains, and reinvested ticket revenue. The reform will start in South West Wales in 2027, with full implementation across the regions by 2030.

For the past five months this stretch of Bree Street in #CapeTown has been car free on Sundays – a street experiment encouraging residents and visitors to reimagine this city street as a more accessible and people-friendly mixed public space.

The weekly event regularly featured the Silent Book Club, free rental bikes, skateboarding, a community sewing project, art sessions, markets and more

But cars require roads.

Road infrastructure gobbles up gigantic quantities of steel cement and , indirectly, coal.

Cement works use any fuel - oil, gas, household waste. Old tyres in particular are very popular.

But on a global scale they burn mainly coal (70% of their fuel acc to the IEA, 90% acc to cement manufactures.

This is handy stuff—especially if you're thinking about buying a car! (3/3)

My Friday

🌱 Es ist Freitag. Klimafreitag. Und wir machen weiter mit unserer Serie an Klimaschritten.

🪻 Spürst du auch, wie der Frühling kommt? Die Blumen sprießen, die Sonne scheint - der perfekte Zeitpunkt, um das Fahrrad abzustauben und nicht nur für den Sonntagsausflug, sondern auch für den Alltag einzusetzen. Oder einfach mehr zu Fuß zu gehen. Deshalb bleiben wir diese Woche noch bei deinem eigenen CO2-Fußabdruck in Sachen Mobilität – und bei der Frage, wie du die Königsdisziplin der Alltagsmobilität auch ohne Auto bewältigen kannst: das Einkaufen!

🛒 Ohne Auto einkaufen? Muss das sein? Nein. Muss nicht. Geht aber.

🚲 In unseren Klimaschritten geht es immer darum, einfach mal was Neues auszuprobieren. Diesmal möchten wir dich ermutigen, Einkäufe, die du sonst mit dem Auto erledigst, mal anders zu erledigen. Vielleicht reicht ein dicker Rucksack? Eine Fahrradtasche? Vielleicht geht ihr zu zweit einkaufen, um mehr transportieren zu können? Oder du sparst Fahrten, indem du dich mit den Nachbar*innen zusammentust?

💡Probier es einfach mal aus. Direkt heute, für das frische Frühlingsgemüse. Oder überleg dir, wie du den großen Wochenendeinkauf ohne Auto gestalten kannst. Deiner Kreativität sind keine Grenzen gesetzt. Und wenn du Ideen brauchst: Im Artikel findest du jede Menge Tipps, wie du das in der Praxis umsetzen kannst. Vielleicht kommt ja eine neue Gewohnheit dabei heraus?

💬 Und wenn du es ausprobierst – oder ohnehin schon länger so umsetzt –, teile gerne deine Erfahrungen mit uns. Vielleicht hast du ja noch ganz andere Ideen für die Umsetzung? Lasst uns drüber reden!

Los geht’s!

A new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the #IsleofMan and #Liverpool City Region aims to strengthen #economic, cultural, and political ties. The agreement focuses on areas such as business, #tourism, #transport, #health, #energy, and public services. The regions share a long history, enhanced by the opening of a new Isle of Man #ferry terminal in Liverpool, which generated £3.2m for the local economy. This MoU is seen as a significant step towards fostering growth and development through increased collaboration. Both Mayor Steve Rotheram and Isle of Man Chief Minister Alfred Cannan highlighted the importance of closer economic ties and mutual benefits. The agreement also includes an annual conference, alternating between the two regions, and will be reviewed regularly to expand cooperation. With strong business links, including £2bn of annual trade, the partnership aims to open new opportunities for innovation, investment, and community development.

Greater Manchester’s Starling Bank Bike Hire scheme is set to add 300 new e-bikes, with over half the fleet being electric by summer 2025. This upgrade supports the city's goal for 1 million more sustainable journeys by 2040. Twelve Cycle Hubs have been rebranded, offering secure bike parking near public transport. By the end of March, 130km of segregated walking, wheeling, and cycling routes will be completed, with 176km planned by 2027. The bike hire scheme, currently in #Manchester, #Salford, and #Trafford, will expand to new locations and integrate with the Bee Network’s fare system. Dame Sarah Storey and Mayor Andy Burnham highlighted these steps to improve cycling access, safety, and integration with other #transport modes, including the future possibility of bike carriage on #trams.

Mayor Steve Rotheram has launched the Care Leavers #MetroCard, offering free travel on #buses, #trains, and #ferries to care leavers aged 18-21 across the #Liverpool City Region. The initiative, benefiting around 1,500 care leavers, removes #transport barriers to education, employment, and social activities, promoting independence and reducing isolation. Mayor Rotheram highlighted its positive impact on young people transitioning to adulthood, giving them the freedom to explore opportunities and connect with their communities. Care leavers Tyler Preistley and Bekie Mariel shared how the pass has improved their lives, providing financial relief and increased mobility. The MetroCard is automatically issued by local authorities when care leavers turn 18.

From 1 April 2025, young residents under 22 in #Orkney, #Shetland, and the Outer #Hebrides will receive free inter-island ferry travel. The scheme, part of the #Scottish Government's Islands Connectivity Plan, allows free travel as foot passengers on local ferries with a Young Scot or National Entitlement Card. This initiative, highlighted in the 2025-26 #transport budget, aims to make ferry services more affordable and sustainable, helping tackle child poverty and support economic growth. It will improve access to education, work, and social opportunities. Supported by the Scottish Youth Parliament, the scheme will make rural activities more accessible for young islanders.

Since early 2025, over 100 MAN #eTrucks have covered 500,000 kilometres in logistics operations across #Germany, #Austria, #Belgium, and the Netherlands. These eTrucks have saved around 400 tonnes of CO2 by using 100% green electricity. MAN's modular eTrucks, with a range of up to 500 kilometres, have proven successful in long-distance transport, with some vehicles covering up to 800 kilometres daily. The fleet has an average consumption of 106 kWh per 100 kilometres, even in winter. Large-scale production of the eTGX and eTGS models will begin in mid-2025. In March, a MAN eTGX demonstrated its range by completing a 3,000 km journey from the Arctic Circle to #Munich. The trucks offer up to one million configuration variants, including ultra-low liner versions for specific applications like automotive logistics. MAN also offers 360-degree eMobility Consulting, supporting #transport companies with vehicle deployment, charging infrastructure, and financing options.
