I haven’t talked to my buddy Skyler McKinley from AAA Colorado in a while and I have a stack of interesting transportation news that is coming out of his office like gas prices, oil prices, summer travel, road trips and a very interesting story about the increase in fatal wrecks even though fewer people have been driving since the start of Covid. Also, how tone deaf is Moovit sending out the below press release about lower transit use in Ukraine since the war? See for yourself. All that and more on the Driving You Crazy Podcast.

Moovit Press Release:
Hi Jayson,
Public transit usage has decreased significantly in Ukrainian since Russia’s full scale invasion on February 24th. While public transit continues to run, there are no services available when curfews are in place, for example 8:00pm - 7:00am in Kyiv.
Moovit [t.nylas.com], an Intel company and creator of the popular urban mobility app, is sharing this visual to show the percentage of change in demand for public transit in several of Ukraine’s major cities — Chernivtsi, Kharkiv, Kyiv, Lviv, Mariupol. The data is based on the daily active use of Moovit users.
If you are interested in using this in an article, please provide credit to www.moovit.com [t.nylas.com].
Thank you,
Sharon
