When I go to big cities, I see an abundance of cars just blocking the streets creating traffic jams and such. I think the reason why is because a ton of people live in the cities to the point where they not only expand "horizontally" like building more buildings in more areas around the city, they also expand "vertically" like building higher and taller buildings like skyscrapers for more people to live in. So what I would like to know is, since so far roads only expand "horizontally", why can't we build roads "vertically" like stacking roads on top of roads like skyscrapers stacking story on top of story?
All modern cars look boring and similar, to the point where car collectors focus only on older cars that look cool. I wonder why? >be car engineer in the from the 40s to the 70s >make cars look as cool as possible, with bright colors, so people will be drawn to them >begin to fetishize speed >min/max your design’s aerodynamics to increase speed >cars begin to look alike but at least they are fast and fuel efficient >but police pull over speeders… >and fast drivers like to wrap themselves around trees… >consider going back to less aerodynamic, more interesting designs????????? >no way, never change because easier to do the same forever >wake up one day, wonder why you live in a gray world driving a gray blob to a job talking about efficiency on excel spreadsheets Do engineers really???
>over 3.5 times as slow top kek, you can't make this shit up. Imagine taking over 3.5 times as long to get somewhere and having a significantly worse experience due to the other riders
For as much revenue the MTA generates it dumbfounds me that they don't have cameras on all their subways. Being a Chicagoian I know there are cameras on all the subways and the trains that connect it to the suburbs. Are they really just not not putting in the cameras to protect the image of NYC's diversity?
top fucking kek, trains and busses are so slow that best case scenario they are 3.5 times slower than driving and any delay would make a bike faster. what a garbage mode of transport. the government needs to divest of all public transit and build more highway lanes
How many of these companies does cour country have left?
I've tried looking for Canada, and the only one I've been able to find is National Steel Car (picrel) since it's one of the largest in NA. We might have a locomotive manufacturer called Railpower, but the Wikipedia is lacking and I can't find anything reliable about them. If any of you could help I'd appreciate it!
