As an outsider of the industry, I think it's a great resource that challenges readers to consider new ideas and opinions! It's very neat that you take the time and research to curate a weekly newsletter about a topic you are so passionate about. I share it with anyone I come into contact with that is even remotely involved with transportation (or just likes newsletters).

Always a good read, Sarah. I rarely have time to click through to read the links though since I read it at work on a Friday morning when I'm trying to GSD before the week ends (or *should* end). Not bothered in anyway by the typos. London based, BTW. Would be a pleasure to shoot the breeze if you're back this way.

I really enjoy the fact that the newsletter straddles the tech/urban design/transit/transit/active travel line. Great variety, interesting call outs, and I particularly like the research pieces because it's not something I come across elsewhere. Keep it up, it's great!

Thanks Rebecca! Good to know the research is particularly interesting for readers!

Always a great read. I especially like it because you touch parts of the industry I come in less contact with on a regular basis. Also, if we're subscribers, does that mean we get cookies?!

Gondolas are a relatively inexpensive way. To implement fixed route public transit in difficult terrain. I think maybe you should reconsider being so dismissive of them.

I never notice egregious errors in your publication. There are editing apps to deal with this if they bug you.

You are doing a good job. What metrics are you not meeting? What do you want to get from this effort and how are you doing on getting there?

Keep up the good work. I like what you are doing.

Thanks Steve, really appreciate your feedback! Maybe next edition I'll dive deeper into my opinions on Gondolas. Agreed that in the right circumstances they can work well, although in the wrong circumstances they can take public funding away from more essential projects (having lived in London with the Emirates' gondola certainly put a bad taste in my mouth).
