My new piece looks at the hard-to explain variations in train ticket prices in Britain. Why do people travelling similar distances pay massively different amounts?
I have crunched a load of data and the results are baffling.

The Economist just published a deeply-researched story about car bloat, and it's very, very damning:
"For every life that the heaviest 1% of SUVs and trucks save, there are more than a dozen lives lost in other vehicles."
Well worth your time: economist.com/interactive/un…

LA CAJA TÓXICA.
Estudio publicado por la BBC respondió a la antigua pregunta: ¿cómo se respira más contaminación: viajando a PIE, en BICICLETA o en AUTO?
¿El resultado?
También en lo que respecta a respirar aire contaminado, el AUTOMÓVIL es la PEOR forma de viajar.

“Informal” as in not regulated by governments but many of these systems have been in place for decades and can be very complex and well organised. Often, they are also more efficient, relevant and community-centered than many “smart” transport solutions
Informal modes of transport move millions, employ hundreds of thousands & support the informal sector in urban economies.
With @UNDPAccLab's learning agenda on informality, we delved into the different modes of informal transportation & how people move👇

In the face of a climate catastrophe, the UK Government have dropped their green pledges & committed to approving 100 new oil & gas licences. That isn't climate leadership. It is climate denial.
Scotland will remain on the right side of history & demonstrate climate leadership.

Check my opinion on this new addition to the already hostile environment for international students.
