@davel comedy mode: one more track, you wont believe how many more people can use just one more track ;)
@davel Air travel is also demanding on:
* Road infrastructure for the airport, trains deliver people closer to where they want in the first place and the connect better to the rest of the PT system.
* Land use. Airports are huge.
* Airports also cost a lot, factoring them into the price of moving people around is important, frequently this is paid for the state.
* Noisy in ways that just can't be mitigated.
It really isn't a good option.
@dexa_scantron @Never_Daunted park benches that face the shared path, encouraging people to sit and play fetch across the path....
@davel @elgordino the viability is: how do we let people move around the country, what is the cheapest way.
This is cheap.
It's also cheap everywhere else.
And by cheap I mean cheaper than alternatives.
@cm0002 @ByteOnBikes yes, but the idea that EV's solve things makes people think it is okay to not be all in on PT.
And it's not okay.
@spankmonkey @PonyOfWar I caught a public bus to high school. To get an extra 20m of sleep I caught the one that didn't go into the school and stopped on the wrong side of the road 1m before school started. To not be late we'd all walk out across the 4 lane road without looking. Cars will just stop.
After someone was rear ended the stop was removed.
@avidamoeba My gravel bike is steel. Steel is a good material to make bikes from. That is bikes intended to be used and repaired.
@avidamoeba @mapto Those are back because they are really sensible bikes for riding the places and ways most people cycle.
@jaypatelani @ByteOnBikes why make a worse EV?
