What could have been done to save the Pacific Electric Railway?

What would public transit in LA be like today if it had been?

Why does this opinion always piss people off

Can we just go back to being foamers? Who gives a fuck about cars.

A token system:
>A person buys ~10 tokens
>Can use 1 token for bike, 2 for bus, 3 for train and/or 4 for short term ride sharing
>Now people have an incentive to use buses/trains/bikes, but also have something cheap for last mile.
You're welcome.

Such a simple argument from reddit but it BTFOs any right winger on this board. Uncanny.
>Nooo, le heckin bunker troon
Cope.

SS United States to be sunk, creating the world's largest artificial reef. RIP to one of the greats.

To the surprise of no one.

I don't drive or cycle, I'm just a simple pedestrian, but in my whole life I've always been harassed or disrespected by cyclists riding on the sidewalk.

When I walk in front of a car, they will always stop, even if they honk, they won't try to harm me.

A cyclist on the other hand never tries to ride around me, they always seem to expect for me, a pedestrian, on a sidewalk, to either get out of their way or stay completely immobile.

Not a single driver called me names, but more than once I had a cyclist call me a moron or a loser

>In Caltrain’s transition from diesel to electric, the transit agency opened a new online store featuring a variety of branded merchandise. In addition to holiday sweaters and exclusive boxed models of the new electric train, a much larger commodity is up for sale: the “Caltrain EMD F40PH-2 Locomotive (Used).”
>“These gently used, lovingly maintained 1985 F40 diesel locomotives could be yours,” the listing states. “The historic locomotives come with 40 years of service, and more than 1,000,000 miles traveled. Perfect for your model train set, train-themed diners, ornamental lawn decor or planter box, unconventional bed n breakfast or just to show up your overly gnomed neighbor’s lawn.”
> When Caltrain completes its electrification project with full service Sept. 21, it will retire most of its diesel fleet. Almost 100 gallery cars will likely be sold to another operator, said Caltrain spokesman Dan Lieberman, and the locomotives are being split up by age.
>Nine newer diesel locomotives will remain in use for the Gilroy service, which isn’t undergoing electrification because Caltrain doesn’t own that portion of the corridor. However, Caltrain has 20 diesel locomotives that have passed their expected retirement dates and will no longer be operational.
>These older trains might be scrapped, Lieberman said, but first, Caltrain wanted to give rail fans the opportunity to bring them home and make something out of them.
>The engine must be disabled and the buyer must cover the costs of storage and transportation, according to the listing. The locomotives will officially go up for auction in October.
