Some facts & stats 🧵👇
Women are more reliant on walking and buses and so are disproportionately impacted by cuts to bus services.
(In Scotland we have seen a 38% decline in local bus routes).

Every cycle trip starts and ends with parking, yet many cities fail to recognize it as a key component of their infrastructure network.
Rotterdam’s cycling policy calls for the creation of 34,000 spaces by 2040, such as this secure storefront facility for 500 in the city centre. – at Rotterdam, The Netherlands

I see people saying the death of a child on Edinburgh's streets shouldn't immediately be used to argue for safer streets.
This summer it'll be 4 years since a child was killed in Morningside. What's been done to make those streets safer since?
Nothing.
