September 18, 2013, Interview: the benefits of behavioural change
Although numbers of cyclists are increasing throughout Europe, experts note that besides topography issues, one of the most popular arguments against cycling, especially in extremely hot or cold climates, is... weather! However, as sustainable transport specialists who have gathered for the annual CIVITAS forum in Brest say, numerous examples from cycling countries show that climate should NEVER become an argument against cycling. In Scandinavia, for example, often with support from municipalities, people have found ways of cycling to work even with temperatures as low as minus 30.
What are the most astonishing practices and experiences that European transport exports have gathered to discuss? What can Lithuanian cities learn from them? And what are the benefits of cycling?
The CIVITAS network is launching the 11th edition of the annual CIVITAS Forum Conference which will take place in the French port city of Brest from 30 September to 2 October, focussing on “Implementing sustainable urban mobility with less”, unveiling dynamic ways to advance greener transport with less resources and making such a vision more attainable.
Across the country in the last year, about 43 new charging stations for electric vehicles have been installed, including the poorest parts of Ljubljana. The capital also has by far the most extensive network of electric pumps, the municipality is expected to continue this year by adopting a strategy for the development of electromobility.
Po vsej državi so v zadnjem letu postavili okoli 43 novih polnilnih postaj za električna vozila, od tega v Ljubljani na slabih desetih lokacijah. Prestolnica se tako ponaša z daleč najbolj razvejano mrežo električnih črpalk, mestna občina pa naj bi letos sprejela še strategijo za razvoj elektromobilnosti.
Installed in the months of December at the busiest public transportation stop, electronic LCD panels now show the arrival times of public transport vehicles in real time. For the blind this is certainly useful for a lot of things, namely the speaker announcing the next arrival of a bus and the next 3-4 arrivals, displaying information about the buses through GPS systems, which quite accurate.
Detsembris paigaldati Tallinna kuude kõige tihedama liiklusega ühissõidukipeatusse elektroonilised tablood, mis näitavad ühissõidukite saabumist reaalajas. Ent pimedatele on kahtlemata kasulikust asjast sama palju tolku kui postidele kleebitud sõiduplaanidest. Tabloode juurde kuuluvadki nimelt spetsiaalsed kahe nupuga puldid, mille üht nuppu vajutades annab tabloo kohal olev valjuhääldi teada järgmisena väljuva ühissõiduki ja teist vajutades loeb ette kolm-neli järgmist väljumist. Tabloo võtab infot busside GPS-süsteemi kaudu ja on seega üsna täpne.
