  • Drivers are mean, and gig workers don't make much money, one YouTuber learned during a day spent delivering food on an e-bike. (Electrek)
  • Bloomberg interviewed Hoboken Mayor Ravi Bhalla, who's actually managed to achieve Vision Zero for six straight years.
  • The Kansas City Streetcar has a new wrap celebrating the local public library's 150th anniversary. (KSHB)
  • Montreal residents took to the streets to oppose cutting back transit hours. (Gazette)
