Scott Redd

On Omaha’s ORBT, your bike rides for free!

Do you combine modes of transit to get around?

@scottredd not a cyclist here. My city is too small to justify a bike and everything is too far to make it with a bike.

Cool to see a bike in a bus though !

@maruku Sometimes I take the long way around when the ride is too short.

@scottredd I just walk. In France we have the luck to have proper sidewalk infrastructure, making travel by foot not only doable but quite enjoyable !

@scottredd Tallinn has free public transport, but bikes aren't meant to be taken onto a bus or tram (though someone will occasionally sneak one on if there's enough space). They're allowed on trains, but only for free from November to March (when hardly anyone cycles anyway because of snow etc). So for most of the year you have the slightly odd set-up where you travel for free but have to pay €1 to bring your bike.
