β€‹β€‹πŸš— β†’ 🚴 LondonπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Vehicle count down from 206k in 1999 to 124k in 2017

City traffic composition has changed significantly over the last two decades, both in terms of the total volume of traffic and the proportions of different vehicle types that make up that traffic. Figure 2.1 highlights the percentage change in total vehicle count (blue bars) and the absolute number of vehicles counted each year (orange line).

Traffic volumes of all vehicular modes (except cycling) have decreased over the last two
decades by at least one-third, with day-time car/taxi and motorcycle (MC) traffic declining 59 and 49 percent respectively since 1999 (Figure 2.2). Heavy goods vehicle (OGV)
volumes have declined by similar amounts while light goods vehicle (LGV) volumes have
seen their numbers remain relatively consistent since 2004 after dipping roughly a third from 1999 levels.

According to figures from CoinMarketCap, #Ethereum is the closest alternative, but with only $49 billion.

β€‹β€‹πŸŽ΅ Music Streaming Yet to Prove Premium Worth

For every #music streamer who pays, there are 3.6 who don’t, preferring a free trial or ad-supported service. Streaming may be more popular than ever, but there’s a lag in converting these listeners to paying listeners. As well as freemium tiers, account sharing has a role in this.

Diving into the users for each service, paid-for services like #AppleMusic and #Tidal see the highest levels of sharing, allowing friends and family to access them without paying for an account.

β€‹β€‹πŸ“Ί Netflix's International Expansion Picks up Steam

#Netflix released its prediction-beating Q1 figures last week and this chart is looking at one interesting aspect of the announcement - the growing profitability of the international streaming side of the business.

Moving from 8.7% in Q4 2017, in Q1 2018 the margin leaped up to 15.3%. As the chart also shows, this appears to be due to revenues significantly outgrowing the cost of revenues (70% to 49%). Marketing is still a big part of Netflix's international expansion, but these costs also grew more slowly than revenue, at 60.8% compared to Q1 2017.
