In Albuquerque NM, they not only built world class BRT infrastructure – they leveraged it to transform old Route 66 into a safer, more people-friendly corridor. Albuquerque Rapid Transit, or ART, is already a big ridership success, but there’s so much more potential. So today we’re taking a tour of the US’s only...
In its latest move to implement a policy that London implemented long ago, New York Is doing congestion charging! In all seriousness, it will be a complete game changer - not only for the city, but for the entire continent.
There’s a trend towards lower speed limits in cities all over the world, but why is this happening? What is the research behind it? And what is the “correct” speed limit for cities, anyway?
In 1974, Ivan Illich wrote that the typical American male spent 25% of his waking life either driving a car or working for the income required to pay for one. 50 years later, is this true? And, which cities consume the most – and least – of our time with driving?
When you argue for housing reform to legalize denser development in our cities, you quickly learn that some people hate density. Like, really hate density, with visceral disgust and contempt for any development pattern that involves buildings being tall or close together.
We’ve had a complicated relationship with biking in the winter. Unlike some of our favourite channels on the topic, we’re not long-time winter cyclists ourselves. We only started getting into year-round cycling a few years ago. At first it was exciting, we were breaking a mental block that we didn’t realize we had. So you...
Highways are a blight on the urban landscape and are difficult to tear down. But there are some factors that can make a highway easier to tear down, and that’s what this video is all about.
The land of the rising sun is know for many things. Mount Fuji, Samurai, Anime, Sushi and wacky game shows. But what it isn’t widely known for is its incredibly safe streets. Not just for drivers, but for people on bikes or just simply walking. I hope I can convey the simple safety of Japanese streets and the importance of...
Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but i really like how calm the street scenes are without cars. There’s also a 1902 / now comparison video which is kind of depressing, i thought i’d rather post something nice :)
I editorialised the title as the original was clickbait, but the video itself is quite good. Interestingly, e-bikes are claimed to have lower emissions than acoustic bikes, although it likely depends on diet (the author didn’t specifically compare a vegan diet between the two types but did indicate that vegan + electric is the...
I feel like he does a pretty good job explaining the origin of the suburbs from a geopolitics position, though some of the youtube comments are unhinged.

How isn’t this video more popular?
In this Our Changing Climate climate change video essay, I look at the future of transportation. Specifically, I uncover why we need a world without cars. Instead, we need a future of dense interconnected public transit that is anti-racist, anti-ableist, and anti-capitalist. A transportation system that prioritizes people...
This is a friendly reminder to show up at your public meetings and advocate for the positive change that you want to see in your community. Because morons like this will be there and in some places they’re the only voice your municipality hears on active transportation.
A case for “positive urbanism” in the US and Canada, by Recce/RMTransit but on PeerTube!...
I don’t totally belong in this community as I rather like cars & motorcycles (but not how dependent our society is on them), but I really enjoyed the well researched video Fortnine put together on how the height of the front bumper/grille is the greatest predictor of pedestrian collision fatality and I felt it’d be a good...
In this video, we will explore how lethal cars came to dominate social space, through examining what Ivan Illich called the ‘radical monopoly’ of the motor car....
TLDR: Watching Not Just Bike and other urbanist YouTube videos alone isn’t going to do anything. We actually need to advocate for this in our local communities and city councils to get stuff done.
