Great article in @scotsman.com by @fredpaxton.bsky.social about the rise of the far right in East Germany - and what this means for political discontent in Scotland.

I don't often need to catch the bus when I do, it always seems to take an age to get where I need to be! This is excellent work by our urban transport experts that looks at hours lost to traffic congestion and what can be done to get us all moving.

Do you ever feel that you're spending most of your life on a bus? Data shows you could be right - thanks to a study into the impact of journey times led by @ubdc.bsky.social experts and commissioned by @firstbus.bsky.social

Great read in @glasgowtimes.bsky.social
