Moving on
Hello everyone. Today, I am here to announce my resignation as CEO, effective immediately. This is a decision I have not taken lightly and I know there may be many questions about the specifics, so in this post I will attempt to hash out the details. As you can tell from our social media accounts…

Politicians give us tokenistic comments about the climate, whilst doing everything they can to prevent environmentally friendly alternatives to the car. Climate isn’t the only reason we’re here too. Our happiness is. Our independance is. So let’s fight for a better transport…
