When Grab PH bought motorcycle taxi app Move It, I thought I would become a 1st-time customer of that service. I use Grab, so it already has my info. I wouldn't need to sign up and type all my details. How convenient.
But Move It wasn't integrated into the Grab app. Instead, I would have to download a new app.

A huge congratulations to @philipthalis on his well-deserved award.
Philip is undeniably both one of Australia's most respected architects and a tireless advocate for good urban design.
More importantly, he's not afraid to speak up publicly against bad state government planning decisions, as he did with Barangaroo, even when there's a personal cost.
Passengers who say they've been mistreated by #Canadian airlines had the national stage today as federal ministers, #airline executives and accessibility advocates gathered for the first-ever #CanadianAirAccessibilitySummit.
“We can’t treat a wheelchair like luggage. It simply isn’t luggage. That is why we are here today,” said #Transport Minister #PabloRodriguez in his opening remarks on Thursday morning.
Il n'existe aucun recensement exhaustif du nombre de morts au travail en France. Pour combler ce trou statistique et raconter l'histoire des victimes, @humanite_fr s'associe à Matthieu Lépine, auteur de « L'Hécatombe invisible ». ⚒

So despite climate change, Australia's federal government has just committed an extra $3.25 billion into building a toll road and a 20-lane freeway widening.
"Pouring an extra $3.25 billion worth of federal funds into Melbourne’s North East Link is a good use of taxpayer money, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has insisted, despite the project’s cost doubling just a few months ago.
...
"The North East Link – which includes 6½ kilometres of tunnels – will stretch from Bulleen to Greensborough. It will widen the Eastern Freeway by up to 20 lanes.
"Allan revealed in December that the 10-kilometre toll road had more than doubled in cost since it was first announced.
"The toll road was initially budgeted at $10 billion and reassessed in 2019 at $15 billion. But the government revealed last year that the updated cost estimate was $26 billion."
Belfast Great Victoria Street Station will close permanently at the end of the day on Friday 10 May 2024. Europa Bus Centre will remain operational.
A revised timetable will operate from Saturday 11 May until Sunday 25 August.
So the RTA's own modelling showed the Rozelle Interchange would be a traffic disaster—but generating more toll road trips for Transurban was more important.
"The [NSW Roads and Traffic Authority] finalised the first business case for the WestConnex tunnel project in June 2013, with the help of road designers from around the world.
"[Paul Forward, a former CEO of the RTA] said the initial concept did not include the Rozelle Interchange.
...
"In 2014, an expert review group was formed to assess these plans.
"Mr Forward said it was at this point that TfNSW bureaucrats began to question the connectivity provided by the design.
"The RTA's former director of traffic Chris Ford told the inquiry that 15 alternative designs were modelled.
"Mr Ford said the modelling found that another motorway leading to the Anzac Bridge would cause congestion.
"'The issues that we see today were very clearly established in the modelling in 2014,' he said.
"In November 2015, after Mr Forward and Mr Ford were dismissed, TfNSW updated the WestConnex business case to include the tunnel to the Anzac Bridge, despite the congestion concerns raised by the modelling.
"In 2016, Transport for NSW updated the business case a second time ... creating a tunnel linking the Iron Cove Bridge to the Anzac Bridge."
...
"In 2018, the NSW government sold its 51 per cent stake in the Sydney Motorway Corporation, the body responsible for operating WestConnex, to Transurban for $9 billion.
"Mr Forward said the final design would generate a larger number of toll trips than previous options."
"More than anything else, Portsmouth International Port offers a living, breathing argument for public ownership. Not only does it work – it thrives. The port’s cruise and ferry terminal, which opened in 2011, uses thermal energy from seawater to heat and cool the building – using only 20% of the energy one would expect from a traditional system."

Der #EnergieVerbrauch von Laptops wird immer geringer und es gibt #Solarmodule in vielen Varianten und Bauformen - wäre es inzwischen nicht möglich, einen #Laptop mit einem #Solarmodul auf dem Deckel auszustatten, so daß der immer wieder nachgeladen wird?
Um das Solarmodul beim #Transport zu schützen, bräuchte es nur eine zweite, dünne Klappe am Deckel die es bedeckt.Das könnte ich mir auch als #Nachrüstung für #modular e Laptops vorstellen.
"#Tajikistan produces more than 95% of its electricity with #hydropower and has a large potential to expand production. However, the country lacks fossil fuel resources and is highly dependent on imported fuel. In the #transport sector, these factors make shifting to electricity from fossil fuels very attractive."
