It’s frustrating how defensive people in Zurich are of their heavily subsidised parking spaces, when the car ownership rate is relatively low (since the public transport is so good), and driving in the city is already such a terrible experience.

Also I was thinking about his when watching the latest Shifter video. “Veloschnellroute” translates to “fast bike route” and this is exactly the kind of branding that shifter points out as being wrong for getting these kinds of things accepted by the general public. The focus should be on accessibility, not speed. But it’s clear that nobody in the Zurich city council gives a shit about cycling.
