Why Americans hate public transit so much?

If for nothing else, you gotta admit that a two-hour commute to work during rush hour twice a day and five times a week can get pretty tiresome.

I love this man.

Who is he?

Some guy who lives out in the sticks in Connecticut who capitalized on the hipster trend of "unracer" bikes and made a business out of it.

/n/ told me to hate him, and initially I did, but after some adventuring of my own - he made a lot of sense to me.

So this is a Ronnie Romance thread.

What was supposed to be so futuristic about the monorail?

That the track is narrower? That it's elevated (chicago already has elevated trains)?

Here we are in 2024 and still yet.no one has been held accountable for the greatest marine tragedy the world has every seen.

Why are we letting them get away with it? They knew what they were doing sending them out in those conditions. You know what it does to a community to loose 1/3 of their male work force over night?

They have yet to recover.

Still the most noble form of transportation is to be carried around by others, walking yourself is for plebs. Show us your palanquins then!

This thread is for talking about railways, and things related to railways, in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Trips, tracks, tickets, trains and stations, they're all good - making up rules is boring so let's just be normal. Questions are, of course, most welcome.

If you feel like travelling, head over to National Rail Enquiries (nationalrail.co.uk/); tell it where you're leaving from and where you're going to, and it'll tell you how you're going to get there; then it'll hand you over to a train operator to buy a ticket. The golden rule is that it doesn't matter which train operator you buy a ticket from, as they'll all sell you a ticket from anywhere to anywhere, for the same price. If you're a visitor from overseas, your best option is probably Trainline (thetrainline.com/) - they charge a booking fee on top of the ticket price, but they'll accept just about any payment card. There's also trip.com/, who are apparently a 'thing' with overseas students: I've not used these myself, so please speak up with any thoughts.

Here's a few links:
~The Man in Seat 61 (seat61.com/) - easily the best rail travel resource out there.
~Geoff Marshall (youtube.com/@geofftech2) - Likes trains. Mostly harmless.
~A Visual History of Railway Rolling Stock in Great Britain (gaelan.me/br-stock/)
~Realtimetrains (realtimetrains.co.uk/) - live train timetables: ideal for keeping on top of ETAs and platforms.
~TIGER (tiger.worldline.global/home/) - live station departure boards.
~Traksy (traksy.uk/live/) - live signalling information.
~Openrailwaymap (openrailwaymap.org/) - railway infrastructure, mapped.
