>>1021461>what are underground parking garagesCouncils already make enough cash from on street parking, it would be financially insane for them to justify building underground complexes.
>That's a terrible way of organizing public transit, and it's only done precisely because vehicles have limited capacity, and each line can only have so high a frequency while maintaining some regularity.Wrong. It allows people to make better use of the bus service by having buses which take them exactly where they want to go. It covers the most areas possible this way.
>Then the same would go for trams and instead of 200 passengers we ought to calculate 300 passengers per unit.It does not matter if there are 300 people on it who will all alight to simply catch a bus or taxi, which then will need to use the road anyway.
>Why the fuck must everyone and their uncle ride/drive on tram tracks? That makes no sense and is just shitty planning. The whole MUH NO GRID argument is just silly, there's more than enough streets so that public transit can run along some of them, and other uses can be prioritized on other streets. Also bikes are irrelevant for transit planning purposes.Let me explain this to you. The streets go in different directions at different angles. You will not be able to separate tram tracks from cyclists or motorcyclists, as it would cause chaos elsewhere. Your dream vision of trams will only work if the city is bulldozed and rebuilt entirely with wide streets and good planning.
>>1021462>Yeah it's really dangerous if you're like 14 feet tall.Overhead cables can snap and fall. I wouldn't want to be walking down a street if that happened. They are also incredibly unsightly and expensive.
>>1021463That is called capacity, not efficiency.
