While it does seem like a proper study from nyu, it looks like it comes from a place of bias toward real estate development. Not necessarily a bad thing, but it also gives the impression that the benefits that would come from the free buses.
The article does do due diligence at the end and talk about the benefits.
Idk this whole thing just gave me "perfect is the enemy of good enough" vibes
Well, the metric "by international overnight arrivals" is very very limited and can make a huge difference whether the city has a big airport with lots of connections or not. Like Frankfurt has a ton of connections, but it's mostly a hub.
Stay with the bike share / rental if you're not ready to buy a bike.
I relied exclusively on a bike share for seven years and only got a bike recently because the government withdrew a subsidy and the service has declined.
But the concept of just renting the bike as needed and not having to worry much about availability or maintenance and storage, is a really big component of why I used them for so long.
I still use them with some regularity, but not as my main bike like before
That's probably it, i don't know what I'm doing lol
I'll check again with this suggestion, I'm convinced, I'm just digging in the wrong places, hopefully the lil ~ and the case will be the answer to my problems
I'm happy it's working so well there. Here in Berlin the bike share operated by the same excellent company list the city subsidy, and the service clearly started declining immediately.
I'll be honest, the weather in palma wouldn't allow me to bike for at least six months out of the year, but when I saw them in action it made me happy the service is successful.
This paired with free public transit for residents is really the way to do it!
The argument is that they took all the not fun parts of driving (namely parking and retrieving your car) to make driving fun.
The comments on the video are butchering it, particularly since it's a game. Which makes sense, since the car element feels more like a style and gameplay choice that they managed, while still building what seems like a walkable city.
I mean, I didn't even like the driving in cyberpunk, but getting the cars was fun and I loved my little quadra.
My perception on this is that Phil Spencer is conflating "blocking" with "not offering additional resources".
Microsoft probably expects valve to implement some DRM on top that is not on the scope of the steam os development, and the guy is there crying that they're being blocked
Very much agreed.
