the notion of trains entering tunnels is deeply heteronormative. thinking of the train as the "phallus" of capitalist patriarchal society, and the tunnel as an entrance to mother earth, we can see that the entry of a train into a tunnel is an act of forced, non-consensual penetration. the train represents the "phallus" of capitalism, of straight white men heading to work at imperialist corporations. the tunnel represents mother nature, who is thus symbolically repeatedly raped by white supremacist capitalism. first, the public transit system must de-emphasize heterosexual voices and provide a platform for queer voices. for example, instead of entering tunnels in an act reminiscent of violent PIV rape, the public transit system could represent the queer act of docking by having trains collide into each other at full speed. second, the centering of the "train driver" creates a non-consensual hierarchy in the train. a feminist train system would center democratic and indigenous modes of governance by allowing all members of the community to vote on where the train goes.

They're bad. Like for the same price you can get a Chinese car like this

>>2063540 current russian car prices are wack because they are really pushing towards a monopoly on the russian market, where everything else including chinks got tariffs now so lada can set prices just slightly lower than chink+tariff and get huge margins.
before the special military operation they were actually comparable in price, and you had a choice- get a chinese or korean car that was extensively engineered to have an exactly 5-year lifespan, or get a russian car that had no regard for longevity either but was engineered in such a comparatively naive and primitive way that with regular maintenance you could make it suffer its existence for well over a decade.

trains are extremely overrated by pro train shills. they dont nearly bring as much usefulness as people claim. how often is your average person from estonia really traveling 50+km to justify the need of HSR? does everyone just jump on the train and travel 200km daily for no reason? something like tampa to orlando makes more sense not soviet city 17 to city 20

>>2061637 >no one has a need to travel to and from those countries Having HSR in Baltic countries would both be a strong incentive for people who want to go from Scandinavia to Central Europe (just add a ferry crossing to Helsinki and you got an alternate route from Poland to Finland) and vice-versa, and could also be used to propel the tourism industry in all the Baltic countries. Once Ukraine and Belarus join the EU, they'll actually benefit from having a near-direct land-based link to countries like Estonia and Finland due to HSR infrastructure currently under development.

What would your dream transportation job be? Any time period, any place. For me, it would be running steam locomotives on the ATSF from the late 1930s to the end of steam. A close second would be an airline captain in the 1950s and 60s to experience the beginning of the jet age.
