@solveschoolrun.bsky.socialI really tried to work in that absolutely brilliant piece of work by @wearepossible.bsky.social & @solveschoolrun.bsky.social, out today I think. But I couldn't squeeze in. Annoyed me loads as it's such a good study. FWIW I'm not convinced it's just catchment. Car ownership & size likely higher?
Show PostPS out today by @wearepossible.bsky.social & @solveschoolrun.bsky.social is a brilliant study on 'school run' across UK & private schools: bsky.app/profile/cris... Another reason for slow buses? "25% of weekday morning car trips in London [are] trips to school". Imagine if those were cycled or bus?

Show Post“…suggesting that private schools are responsible for around two thirds (67.8 per cent) of school run congestion. To put it another way, when private schools are in term you can expect to see 3.09x more congestion compared to when only state schools are in term”
Show PostOne of the last projects I set in motion before I left @wearepossible.bsky.social has finally borne fruit: the School Run Cruncher! TL;DR? YES, it does indeed look like school run traffic to private schools is disproportionately responsible for morning rush hour congestion. You’re welcome!
