@rekabis @fpslem Honestly, I don't think any human is attentive enough to drive a SUV in a town.

@mondoman712 @felykiosa it depends a little onthe road in question, there are roads with a sinple lane wide enough that a single file of cyclists are passable without crossing into oncoming traffic, but two abreast isn't.

But we all know this isn't what happened here. Driver just wanted to let his priveledge show.

@howrar @tpid98 I would hope a pedal powered e-trike would be using direct chain drive from pedals to wheels, the efficiency of that is very hard to beat.

@utopiah Just need requirements for airbags, etc to be dropped :(

@utopiah @tpid98 I wish kilow's vehicle would be legal here. I'd love one of those.

@Ptsf Sorry, I was reading more into your comment.

I was reading it as: <technical reason> thus electrification wont happen
But I think now it was: <example of US dysfunction> thus electrification wont happen

Is that more of what you were intending?

@Ptsf If you aren't interested in the comparison of the US and India it is probably a bad idea to comment in a thread about that topic.

More American's should care about public transport. It actually delivers personal freedom that y'all give so much lip service to.

@Ptsf @Beaver Now if someone wants to argue that electrifying the trains caused the power insecurity, they'd still be wrong, but at least in a way that is logical.

@Ptsf @Beaver Compared to India? Which parts of the USA ration which hours/days each region of a city gets power?

When I was in a random restaurant in some Indian town the drinks we ordered took an insane amount of time to be prepared. We realised that was because an employee had to ride a bike to somewhere that had power to make our drinks and ride them back to us.

The US is a bastion of peak reliability compared to India.

@Beaver And India thought that was a good idea even when rolling black outs have been a normal part of life. Electricity is just that good of a solution to many things.

@Lysergid schedules should be set up for 'normal' traffic, some days have less traffic than that.

@Lysergid @OlPatchy2Eyes Is it a scheduled stop? Having a bus sit there for 5 minutes when it is running fast would really suck. But I'd need a lot more than such a screen shot to know if this is a horrible stop or one that just looks silly.

There is a lot that goes into where stops should optimally be.
