We just got a new protected bike lane, and drivers are pissed that their commute may be a couple minutes longer sometimes. I can't wait to ride the new lanes!

We sat for 40 mins while the police ran through the train to catch a 'trespasser' who fled paying a fare. He exited the train on the tracks and they couldn't find him. They gave up started the train and said we were on our way after 40 mins. 2 mins later the train stops again. Now we've struck someone. 40 mins, paramedics, more transit cops. Hooray they've captured the fare evader, an hour and ten mins and 1 maiming in, MTA cops score another victory for justice.

Yeah, buses are usually an issue because they are usually slow and in most American cities in rough shape or come very infrequently. Rail transit is almost always better, it is just that either doesn’t exists or sucks in the US as well. The main benefit of the MTA is that it has a bunch of double tracking which is fairly unique and allows things like express trains and 24 hour service. However, that is probably the best part since otherwise it is antiqued. Hell they even still use magnetic strip cards. (Also, it makes sense to locals but probably one of the least accessible systems out there as trying to figure out where your going. The NYC is the full 1040 form of transit systems.) I don’t think it will get better any time soon, it is just going to take far more money than the state is willing to hand over to fix it.

USA rocksThe Oldest Man posted:1. The US regulations for headlights are dumb as gently caress and require a certain beam throw angle rather than specifying the area to be illuminated. The result is that taller vehicles intrinsically do better on headlight tests than lower vehicles (because raising a fixed angle beam 2 feet makes it throw farther) while also being more likely to blind other drivers. There's no accounting for this in the regulations because durr hurr that would cost money to implement and kill jobs.
