On the other hand, this government can’t even manage a high speed train to Birmingham.

All bus lanes should be 24/7 and never allow parking.

I’ve just realised the tunnels and underpasses for cars are constantly lit but most of the pedestrian subways are not. @andy4wm last time I checked cars already had the means to light their path.

I’ve never understood the argument that we don’t have the right geology for a metro. The Queensway tunnels are a perfect example that we can have a real metro if our leaders had the political will. @andy4wm

Don’t expect a timely or delayed commute tomorrow. Avg travel speed into Birmingham is 10mph as it has been for about two years. @andy4wm
Tomorrow, we’ll be unveiling our state of the art pedestrian safety devices with @andy4wm. The new pedestrian protective suits will help save lives on our streets. Available only on Swift (until we figure out how contactless works). (Arc reactor required)
God forbid a man have hobbies
I live 10 miles from the city centre, quickest way in is now the bus and it’s faster than driving. Unfortunately that’s not because of infrastructure improvements, it’s because traffic has increased.
If walking is part of your commute tomorrow, take extra precautions around traffic and stay indoors where possible. Nothings happening, it’s just Tuesday. @andy4wm

We’ve built a system that does not encourage safe driving- we cannot solely blame the drivers. Legislation and urban planning must account for dangerous/distracted drivers because we know they exist. Ignoring that they do exist is gross negligence.
