Who builds those setups? I mean cars|parked cars| bicycles | greenery | pedestrians. Especially when despite the longs rants, the only picture seems to be a render. Here there are only two variants: The cheap/high speed: cars|bicycles|parked cars|greenery|pedestrians And the more luxurious: cars|parked cars|greenery|bicycles|pedestrians.

Jasper Tin Neck posted:This only applies to low quality systems (which encompasses most American systems, to be fair). Several Asian systems are even profitable by farebox revenue alone. I suspect there is some hidden "population density.map" thing in this graph. With very high correlation to some political variable. Like, size of the transit zone relative to the size of the urban zone.

Well, judging by the memery around Germany's recent 9€ ticket the most important use of a fare system is to keep the inner city poors out of the resort towns. Anyways, the experiment (of allowing county wide travel on slow trains for 9€ per month) was immensely successful for practically everybody. With the only resistance to extending the program coming from people who obviously just hate poor people. And paper pushers who have their job depend on the confusing ticketing borders between transit authorities.

mobby_6kl posted:Is there a study of the results of that experiment? I'd really like to see some concrete outcomes rather than just "oh some trains were crowded" stuff. Like change in vehicle-km driven, # of public transit trips, etc. Personally it's never the cost of public transport that's stopping me. It was only a few months ago, detailed studies won't be out till years in the future with how that bureaucracy moves. e: Preliminary summation be the statisteschen bundesamt: https://www.destatis.de/DE/Presse/Pressemitteilungen/2022/07/PD22_284_12.html VictualSquid fucked around with this message at 11:15 on Sep 29, 2022 |

I feel like we should eventually get multi lane bike paths. So that the fast riders can easily overtake the normals. And maybe even an unusually slow lane for those 6km/h mobility scooters and stuff. Maybe even a shared fast bikes and small motorcycles lane for the 45km/h crew. Has there been any place experimenting with those? Also, in my experience you only get bad interactions between bike racers and normal cyclists in car cursed environments. If the racers notice that the bike path has lots of normal people cycling along a 10km/h, they switch to the street if they can safely. Only, place I have seen with bad racer/normie interaction was mostly because the car street next to it was ultra deadly, even for cars, and the racers truely needed to share the lane with large amounts of foot traffic.

I don't think the main problem is normal people getting intimidated by fast bikers e-bikers or even fast E-"bikes". There are just too few of them in most places, they have to slow down to match traffic more often then people have to jump out of their way. And the ones who dare, take to the streets instead. And the other problem is the growing choices intermediate vehicles, that are too fast or large to comfortably ride on a bike path and are too slow and fragile to comfortably drive on a street. Now, technically enforcing safety regulations to such an extend that a race biker or delivery trike can ride 45km/h on the street without fearing for their lives would solve that. But building some "high speed" bike path "highways" feels much more realistic.

Lobsterpillar posted:I think that's just a wider path eg instead of 3-4m, more like 6m. With sufficient width it will self regulate as slower cyclists keep to one side. Yeah, a wide enough cycling path will probably self regulate to do 90% of what I want. And sufficiently traffic calmed streets would deliver 90% of the rest. But, I still feel that a dedicated lane for the intermediate vehicles and going fast would make a lot of things easier. Even just by reminding them that they shouldn't be on the bikepath if there isn't a designated sub-lane.
