One of the complaints about Catrain's long overdue electrification is that they won't be able to fit as many bicycles as before apparently? I think a good compromise is to build a bike lane along the right of way and give cyclists tethers they can attach to the rail cars so the train can just pull them to wherever they need to go.

To be fair, they're probably doing that so they can deny people the ability to travel if they have low "social" scores

Crosspost from the California thread:Sydin posted:So without doxxing myself or my workplace, my transit agency just recently got hit with a pretty scathing Grand Jury investigation around our oversight and finances. Among other things, one of the main recommendations of the report isn't just to not continue with our current planned light rail extension into a poorer section of the city, but to look into potentially considering shuttering our light rail services entirely. Now to be fair, we operate at an incredibly steep loss for light rail, and ridership has dropped pretty significantly in the last decade (the report complains that ridership has gone down even though local income levels have gone up, which, yes no poo poo you fucks) however the report goes into pretty loving detail about how light rail is outmoded as a viable public transit method, and that we should look into better alternatives, of course without actually listing any of these supposed better options. Now where could the Grand Jury have gotten ideas such as these I wonder... Poor trains  .

china is trying to limit certain group's access to transit, unlike america, which famously has a "yes-fly list", designed to help people gain access to faster air planes for the purposes of free speech.

Just like how they are also using it as a tool to enable Han Chinese colonization of contested areas out in the far west of their country.

you can put aside the de rigeur scaremongering in here: the meat of it is it's mostly targeting businesses and the punishments are designed for the wealthy, which is why all high-speed trains aren't restricted, only the superfast luxury levels.
