Epic High Five posted:hmmm, okay you get a provisional membership, we'll upgrade you to full once you report back on your favorite aspect of the Moscow subway system big fan of the circle lines but when I was in Moscow I could walk most places I needed to get to on a daily basis i like the really long escalators but the ones in petersburg are even longer and therefore better i also think the beautiful architecture and attention to aesthetics in the older stations serves an important symbolic and psychological purpose which is to make people think of public transit as a high-value good rather than something dirty and cheap that only poor people should use vyelkin has issued a correction as of 17:22 on Sep 3, 2021 |

hot cocoa on the couch posted:imagine if we used billions of horses to get around every day and instead of emitting an odourless gas they just poo poo literally kilograms of waste onto the ground daily lmao anytime you read an old historical source that talks about the problem of "mud" or "muck" or the like in 19th-century cities, 9 times out of 10 they're just being euphemistic about everyone walking through ankle-deep horseshit everywhere they go

it's honestly disheartening to see how the US used to have nice dense cities with trees and trams and so on, and then look at the blighted hellscape of cracked asphalt highways that it is today

one time an old lady in my city died after being hit by a bicycle and it made the news for what felt like weeks, meanwhile there were hundreds of annual deaths from people being hit by cars that nobody even bothered to report on because it's just expected

Beijing and Shanghai are linked by 1200 km of high-speed rail but the United States of America is too big to have high speed rail between cities like Chicago and New York, which are a whopping, let's see here, 1200 km away from each other

QUEER FRASIER posted:Why can't even my fictional imagined US train lines connect? Because there's no point to building train lines through non-densely populated areas! Nevermind that we've been building freeways through the middle of loving nowhere for 70 years and watching them incubate development in entirely new areas it's also just plain stupid because even in non-densely-populated areas of the US there are cities big enough to be worth linking with HSR. like take for instance that guy's dumbass map where he claims there's no point linking the networks. his three little tiny networks in the midwest, northeast, and southeast connect cities like Detroit (metro pop 4.4M), Milwaukee (metro pop 1.6M), Madison (metro pop 900k), Minneapolis (metro pop 3.7M), Baltimore (metro pop 2.8M), Jacksonville (metro pop 1.5M), Orlando (metro pop 2.5M), and Tampa (metro pop 3.1M). why not link those up? im sure he would tell you something whiny about population centres and distances, but honestly when you're imagining a map that doesn't exist in real life and has no cost estimates attached to it, how much trouble would it be to expand your connections from detroit and chicago through Indianapolis (metro pop 2M), Cincinnati (metro pop 2.2M), Columbus (metro pop 2.1M), Cleveland (metro pop 2.1M), and Pittsburgh (metro pop 2.4M) to link up to DC and Philly? why not then extend that network down the eastern seaboard to hit Richmond (metro pop 1.2M), Raleigh/Durham (metro pop 2M), and Charlotte (metro pop 2.7M) on the way to Atlanta? if you can justify HSR to Madison, Wisconsin, you can justify it to literally all of those cities and end up with a proper HSR network, but car culture has convinced people that better transportation networks aren't possible and centrist neoliberalism has convinced people that it's better to be """""realistic"""" than to be ambitious

lobster shirt posted:i think the funniest thing about my local subreddit is that half of the posts are about how horrible the drivers are (true) but also you get downvoted if you suggest people do things like "go the speed limit" and "leave appropriate following distance". it rocks, sharing the road with bad drivers who think that they are good drivers and everyone else is bad, really makes you feel safe. ban cars
