Sean Clark+FollowUber Dodges UK ‘Taxi Tax’—Here’s HowUber just pulled a fast one on the UK’s new ‘taxi tax’! Instead of footing a huge VAT bill, Uber rewrote its contracts so drivers outside London are now the ‘suppliers’—meaning most won’t have to charge the 20% sales tax since they don’t hit the VAT threshold. Translation: rides outside London stay cheaper, but Londoners are stuck with higher fares. Wild how one contract tweak can save millions! #Transportation #Uber #TaxiTax00Share

Amber Mcguire+FollowToll hikes coming to NJ & PA bridges in 2026Commuters in New Jersey and Pennsylvania will soon feel a pinch in their wallets: starting January 1, 2026, crossing eight major bridges will cost more—especially for those without E-ZPass. Toll-by-plate drivers will see the biggest jump, with rates rising from $2 to $5, while E-ZPass users will pay 50 cents more. Truckers and larger vehicles face even steeper increases per axle. The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission says these hikes are needed to keep up with rising costs and fund much-needed infrastructure upgrades.

Peter Castillo+FollowStreet parking rules every Clevelander should knowStreet parking in Northeast Ohio is getting tighter, and it’s leading to some real road drama. If you’re driving and there’s a parked car blocking your lane, Ohio law says you must stop and let oncoming traffic pass—no matter how rushed you are. It doesn’t matter if you’re on a busy state highway or a quiet side street. And if you hit another car because you didn’t yield, you’re at fault. With more cars lining the streets, how do you think this impacts daily commutes and neighborhood safety? Let’s hear your experiences and ideas for making our roads safer! #Transportation #Cleveland #StreetParking00Share
Sean Clark+FollowHouston’s new highway stripes: Safety or confusion?Houston drivers have spotted bold new reflective stripes on highway barriers, and while they might look decorative at first, they’re actually a clever safety upgrade. These high-visibility strips are meant to make barriers stand out at night and in bad weather, helping drivers—especially those unfamiliar with Houston’s winding connectors—avoid costly scrapes and accidents. It’s a simple fix that could make a big difference, and if it works, we might see it spread across Texas and beyond. Have you noticed these stripes yet? Do you think they’ll help reduce accidents, or just add to the confusion? #Transportation #Houston #RoadSafety00Share
