What are the traffic issues that move citizens of your country?
For this special series, Global Voices authors in different countries contributed stories that highlight both the creativity of citizens to common transportation challenges as well as the recurring inefficiencies of urban planning.
This is a topic that brings people to the street in more than one sense. Last year, a price hike for bus fares in Rio de Janeiro kickstarted mass protests in Brazil. And across the world, urban cycling initiatives are championed where you least expect it.
This is not just a pedestrian issue, if you will…
