Post road network gore.

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.

one (1) fucking accident and they were gone, I don't get it

Why did hydrofoils never take off?

what bike do i buy with $2000?

THIS is why public transit systems are never going to work in the west. Who wants to roll the dice for life vs death in order to save the environment?

It only works in homogenous high trust high IQ societies.

The newest development after gravel bikes with suspension forks: Gravel bikes with suspension forks and flat bars. I simply have to have one!

is there any room on this board for a city builder vidya general?
there's a general on /vg/ that includes city builder games but it also includes a few other genres so city building is rarely talked about

i just wanted to get the opinions of my fre/n/s on this topic
pic related is cities skylines 2, btw

Theoretically speaking, if I was an entrepreneuring billionaire and I wanted to bring back one of the great American passenger trains (Super Chief, California Zephyr, Panama Limited, Empire Builder, City of Los Angeles/San Francisco, 20th Century Limited, Broadway Limited, Powhatan Arrow, Coast Daylight, etc.) to run on a regular basis (let's put it at at least two times a month for a start), which option would be more feasible from an economic/technical/legal perspective?

1. Acquire all of the surviving rolling stock (sleepers, dining cars, dome/observation cars, baggage cars, etc.) from the original consist from private owners, heritage railways, and museums, as well as matching surviving locomotives (can be from ones different railroads since thousands of functionally and aesthetically identical EMD F and E units were sold to all Class I railroads). Renovate them as necessary to make them FRA-compliant, obtain waivers wherever possible. Put them into service as a part-luxury train, part-mobile museum.

2. Commission the construction of a replica consist. Building entirely new streamlined cars from scratch, designed to match the internal and external appearance of its original as much as possible, with changes only being made when it's literally required to make the car FRA-compliant/modern user friendly (updated wiring, HEP, power outlets at seats, WiFi support, replacing wooden paneling with MDF paneling etc.). Motive power consists of custom-built Siemens Chargers designed to resemble the original E and F units (streamlining, bulldog noses, matching paint schemes, etc.) as much as legally possible.

I've been directed here to inquire as to why ebikes are bad. My opinion as of yet is that if I get to work safely (for me and others) without needing to take a shower, it's good. Cycle lane availability means I don't need to go near pedestrians and don't mix too much with cars. This all adds up to me pointing to that ebikes are positive, could anyone explain to me their viewpoint as to why they would be negative? I personally hate escooters as they are always ridden by knackers unstably and in dangerous manners.
