Air-conditioned buses make even snarling rush hour traffic bearable—the best investment in our cities, people and their wellbeing. We can add a 100 buses (& their annual subsidy) in the price of 2 underpasses/flyovers. More. Buses. Now! 🌬️🚍🚏

Americans have limiting beliefs. These people aren't trying to save the planet, they're just getting around town. We can have delightful neighborhoods without car dependency, too! twitter.com/Sustainable205…

"Saada Chiryan Da Chamba" The most poignant wedding folk song, almost religiously synchronized with the rukhsati (farewell) of a daughter, it is reminiscent of the time spent in babul's aangan (father's courtyard), full of pathos, rich in cultural metaphors & beyond. (1/12) 🧵

Paris gets a 200km-long new metro network to move 2m people everyday & Lahore gets another signal-free corridor with clunky U-turns in fast lanes to move 100,000 cars. Apni apni qismat hay.

Paris is getting a whole new Metro network. It’s huge. And built fast. “The venerable Paris Métro is about to get its most significant upgrade in decades with the arrival of the Grand Paris Express, a new 200km system with 4 new lines & 68 new stations.” cnn.com/travel/paris-n…

Economists love to talk about restructuring railways to make it profitable, completely ignoring it is not the mismanagement of railway that has made it loss making but completely skewed development spending, which has made Pak inefficient and more reliant on imported fuels
