The image is an informational infographic from the European Commission titled "Transport poverty in the EU – At a glance," dated May 2025. It features a background photo of a person using a ticket machine on public transport. At the top, there's the European Commission logo. Below is a section highlighted in yellow, emphasising the importance of transport for jobs, education, health, and inclusion. The next section explains transport poverty as difficulty in accessing or affording the transport needed for essential services, and lists affected groups, such as rural communities and low-income households. Further sections detail key dimensions of transport poverty: affordability, availability, accessibility, and adequacy, each with relevant icons and questions. A section titled "Facts & Figures" highlights statistics related to transport costs and funding. The final sections outline the EU response and key actions for governments, emphasising strategic planning, sustainable investment, and fairness.

A split-screen image with text on the left and a car on the right. The left side has a dark background with white text that reads: “The car isn’t just a vehicle—it’s a cultural artefact of capitalism.” Below this heading is a list of points: Work as a calling → The car enables work, productivity, and purpose Efficiency and rationalization → Cars are designed for speed, control, and optimization Material success as virtue → Car ownership signals achievement and self-reliance Individualism and autonomy → Driving is deeply personal; it’s freedom on four wheels Disenchantment and mechanization → The car is a machine, not a mystery—a symbol of modernity Uniformity and standardization → Roads, rules, and car design reflect bureaucratic order Asceticism and reinvestment → Cars are often bought not for pleasure, but to enable work The right side shows the front of a silver car parked on a road at sunset, with warm orange light in the background and a power pole visible in the distance.

This map shows the Public Transport Accessibility Levels (PTAL) across the Sunshine Coast region. Dark blue areas (scores 0–1a) indicate very low public transport accessibility, covering most inland and hinterland towns. Areas in green, yellow, and orange show better accessibility, mainly clustered around Nambour, Maroochydore, and parts of the coastal strip. The PTAL scores range from 0 (no access) to 6b (very high access), with a legend provided for reference.

Read the report. See if you think it is possible for any reasonable person to disagree with the proposed "five fixes". If you have another 30 seconds to spare, think through how one of your daily journeys would play out if you were disabled. #accessibletravel #transportequity

People who live in the town basically have to drive to the beach, leaving those without cars cut off from a beautiful public amenity... So even if you don't live in, visit, or know where Hayle is, please sign & share on principle for public transport as public service 🚶‍♀️⛱️🌊 #transportequity
