It sounds like your city does not prioritize trains at all

train was PACKED and spent 10m at every stop

add more wagons or increase frequency for example

then they hit a car

intersections with car traffic are always a problem and they should be minimized

train was every 10. Some days every 30, some days 2 in a row

i can bet the tracks share the same space with regular roads and signaling does not prioritize public transit, which usually leads to this sort of inconsistent schedule

that didn’t make it any easier

that's usually the excuse used to cut funding to public transit instead of the other way around: "see it doesnt work, why waste money on it". They never mention how it's been underfunded for decades, how cars are always prioritized, and the success cases seen all around the world where it works properly

does the train increase commerce in an area?

stations are usually prime real state for commerce and housing due to all the foot traffic it brings. Just look at stations in Japan, they are basically big shopping malls, without all the unnecessary parking, and high towers all around for housing

Just chill in the cabin with some chicken soup as much as needed, and comeback to your happily rambles whenever you feel like it. Btw, have you finished God of War by now?

How big is that? 100 m²?

I thought you needed one more lane, so we approved $600 million to fund highway widening while public transport continues underfunded:

It looks like it was taken from the tower in Crest, France, but I might be wrong

What did you end up doing? Did you go with no batteries and automatic ATS in the end?

no idea what chemicals or minerals leach into that

That's why we have screens and first flush diverters on rainwater harvesters :)

Why not? Could it get deformed by the bike's weight?

zkproofs for the win!

Buenos Aires in Argentina already rolled out a decentralized digital id via zkSync on the Ethereum blockchain for their citizens, you basically have a zero knowledge proof that verifies who you are without revealing sensitive information. No more doxxing required

For those interested on how zkproofs work, it's all mathmagic:

Of course, public transport has a limit and we can root for both as well, including protected bike lanes even in the boonies like we successfully see in the Netherlands

Root for better public transport and active cities instead of car dependency :)

Give them a free ride and cut a lane to convert it into a native climate resilience greenery in the city :)

Caps aren't stored individually, they scratch each other all the way into the capping machine, see this cap feeder for example:

It used to be all Africa until the Suez incident

What's the last movie you logged on letterboxd?

Ask on lemmy as well, so next time someone else might not need to go there for the same answer :)

I demand updates! Jokes aside, what did you end up doing? How's it looking now, if you don't mind sharing?

Unfortunately you don't need a rail layer to repair that and it would be too valuable to bring that sort of machine to the front

It's definitely feasible, go for it :)

I would only recommend against dry pour, as it takes more experience to get it done properly, otherwise you run the risks of having a brittle concrete that will look terrible in a few years, specially on steps, which have constant friction
