You move above the streets, on the roofs. The streets would be free of pedestrians for the most part, imagine how many thousands of senseless deaths would be avoided yearly with people ran over by cars, bikes, buses, trains, etc.

>>2031885 would it be preferable if people drove to the chain stores and buskers at a strip mall? this is not an issue of street design.

>>2031891 Anon I hate to tell you this but that is a strip mall.

>>2031900 the opposite, strip malls are just fake shopping streets without the housing and convenient location, commercial space ripped from where it belongs and placed in the middle of nowhere

Why not land ektranoplans that use electricity from electric lines as trains does.
More speed, less road or rail lines infrastructure.

we have flying buses already. they're called airplanes.

>>2031920 The problem with airplanes is that they spend an ungodly amount of energy getting to cruising altitude, great for when your flight is mostly cruising, shit when you get short flights between small indonesian islands. Ekranoplan is not as fast nor as efficient at cruising, but it's much easier to get off the ground, so it has its place for short range flights over water.

The end of ebike terrorism is in sight. Let's not count our chickens before they hatch, but I'm tentatively feeling hopefully about this. During the time that the last thread was up, hundreds of people were killed by ebike fires. We need to put a stop to this. I just hope they make sure to add prison time for people caught with unlicensed ebikes.

I've seen people on e-bikes that never had to turn the pedals one revolution. Just twist the throttle and go. 40 MPH. That's a phony e-bike. I can put pedals and a chain on a Harley Sportster.

>>2029164 >How do I avoid Boeing flights? You can look up the usual equipment (plane type, sometimes even which exact plane) for a scheduled flight. It's needed so that seat reservations can be made.
Late substitutions are possible so you're not guaranteed. Can't do much about that.

>>2029475 It is an objective fact the 737 is an obsolete 60s design. Boeing already figured this out in the 90s with the 737 NG whose engine cowls are flat on the bottom. Boeing management instead of committing to a brand new design which would take a decade and billions of dollars. Decided to coast until the A320NEO came out and started stealing their market share. Boeing rushed out an upgrade and lied about the scale of changes using software to fix hardware problems in order to get the FAA to sign off on allowing existing pilots to do a conversion course via reading a PowerPoint presentation rather than sit in a simulator.

>>2029594 A misrepresentation in its not the whole picture but what Boeing did do is no less damning. The aforementioned lacking corporate culture does exist and was responsible either way. In fact it’s worse, Boeing was not just trying to avoid engineering cost but also regulatory cost- putting lipstick on pig and making it more attractive to airlines. Which is hilarious when you think about the ridiculous self regulatory privileges the FAA has given them

Why did people ever think wide one-ways downtown are a good idea? Just making it two-way would slow the traffic down and help the local businesses while encouraging pedestrianism.

>>2029058 I am of the opinion that "urbanists" overestimate the danger on these 30 mph multiple lane streets.
The only thing odd with this (we have lots of old wide main streets) is that the parking spots aren't angled. Angled parking means easy mode- no having to watch for dooring.

I want to strangle every single big buck roadie fred and especially every single downhill-bike-in-a-park pomp who rides around just to do chainsaw sounds with their bicycle's very very expensive hub. "Give way, the asshole is coming!". Like, if you wanna make motorcycle sounds, get an actual motorcycle. A Harley actually sounds cool. A freewheeling bicycle sounds supremely annoying, and also means you are a weak shit who is not pedalling. Fuck you, go ride into a river.

>>2031882 I have zipps too and I don't think they're that loud. they're a little louder than some generic garbage wheels I had back in the day on a cheap bike, they're about the same as my old mavics, and they are a hell of a lot quieter than chris bling. I think a lot of the complaining about loud hubs is just overactive imaginations coupled with the usual unracer seethe about nice things

What the fuck is wrong with these mongoloid slackers? They completely underschedule longhaul trains everywhere outside the NEC so almost no one can use them for shorter trips and then wonder why ridership is in the shitter. Each route should be minimum 3x a day per direction.

>>2028386 That's not amtrak's fault, that's due to the arcane way that California governs their state supported routes leading the San Joaquin rail authority to be stuffed full of the cheapest motherfuckers and thinking cutting the cafe attendant would be an easy savings. They totally didn't expect the blowback (somehow) and are now scrambling to attach a cafe car order to the next batch of Venture cars being built.

Here's my retarded idea. A crossrail-type project connecting NJ Transit and the LIRR in a second place. A new tunnel going from the terminus at Hoboken to the LIRR tracks in Long Island City. A new giant station connecting to the Subway somewhere in Greenwich village. Please tell me all the ways that this is stupid.
