/n/, is it really necessary for a metropolitan area to have all three of the following rail transit modes?
>Metro/Subway (dense, high-capacity urban service)
>Suburban/Regional Rail (extremely high-capacity, long-distance service)
>Light Rail/Tram (medium to low-capacity, local service)

Or is it more efficient to adopt a more streamlined approach—for example, a high-capacity S-Bahn-style suburban-regional system like Berlin’s, paired with a hybrid Stadtbahn system like in Karlsruhe or Stuttgart, which blends elements of metro and tram?

It seems like running all three separate systems leads to higher costs and complexity—different rolling stock, infrastructure standards, control systems, and agencies. Wouldn’t a well-integrated two-mode setup be more cost-effective and easier to manage?

Why are they like this.

Picrel is what I consider good city planning, although to be perfect it should also have infrastructure that allows pedestrians to cross the road above or under ground so that neither pedestrians nor drivers would need to wait for green light at zebra crossings.

This spring-loaded tooth has gone a bit stiff and sometimes doesn't engage anymore. I tried a bit of WD-40 and that might have made it worse (I know, not a lubricant). Is there something else I can try before having to take it apart and potentially lose spring, snap ring, and my sanity?

this is a fishbus, this really exists and is used by the FBI to transport busses (the fishbus is really huge)

My husband is an airline pilot and he’s been away for 6 days. And I know it’s not normal cause he’s only away for 2 days and is back home. What is going on? Why is he not answering my calls. I’m pregnant for god sakes

This is my imaginary island country of Regalia.

What kind of transportation would be feasible on this island? I imagined the country as a British colony settled in the early 18th century and gaining its independence after WWII. The population is around 1.8 million, though the overwhelming majority live in the twin cities of Kingsport and Arkham. The interior of the main island is sparsely populated and mountainous, with a few dormant volcanoes.

I'm trying to imagine the rail lines connecting all the cities on the south coast, and the ferry system between Kingsport and Arkham.

Helicopter crashed in Hudson river. 4 dead 1 in critical condition. Looks like rotor came detached from fuselage mid flight.
