same
who doesnt
talking about bus
we have this cool electric bus operated by a private company
Woah electric bus

thank you bus
As far as i'm aware we don't have electric buses
well you guys do have trolly bus though
and tram
which is cool
still cool tho
But we only have 2 ferries in klaipฤda, transporting people from the city to kurลกiลณ nerija
i see
well i wish our country would develop more in the railroad infrastructure
but after all, you can only choose either highways or railroads
and highway is important so i hope they expand the railroad after the highways
damn CalTrain new electric trains fleet

The first set of electric trains for Caltrain are going through their first phase of testing, and agency official Dan Lieberman spoke with NBC Bay Area about the latest updates on the project.

Damn is it really a double decker or just a window
double decker
In the concrete jungle
Nl had this for tens of years already
Double deckers aren't exactly state of the art anymore
Electric transport ๐
Doesn't TGV double Decker still exist???
yea i saw it at amsterdam central recently
but literally every dutch intercity train is a double decker
yep it's iconic
Elon musk is a piece of ๐ฉ
Apparently he came up with the idea of hyperloop to cancel california's high speed rail
To halt the transition from cars
don't like that guy
Always never like this guy
Hsr and maglev superiority
This is painful
what am i looking at
"There are only fields around Vilnius. Why should we become Amsterdam or Hong Kong or New York when we have no natural boundaries for growth? Except for stupid green goals. Promote cars - parking lots, make them free, add more roads and lanes. The only logical solution."
Comment on a post where some politician wants to increase population density in vilnius
bruh
Is this good for transit ?๐ฒ
yes
elon musk being elon musk
Yes
Elon Musk momento
how will they refill
it's gonna be a driving bomb
fuel cells, apparently
i think it's quite comparable to nuclear power plants
both are safe, but accidents are catastrophic
yep
Maintainance and checks should be often
but if that happens then i'd go with it
at least it has 0 emissions
just steam and condensed water
hey, same with nuclear power plants
modern nuclear designs cannot melt down
theyre designed as such
oh
only ones that have that risk are outdated soviet era plants
even in cases of worker incompetence?
yes
cool
i'd ask why we just don't build more of those but the answer may be obvious
i mean, once again, zero emissions
apart from water vapor and steam
but seems kinda impractical
unless we get better at extracting hydrogen and we develop safer technologies, i think we should probably leave it behind
yeah but then the issue with planes would be that if it crashes the fatality rate would probably be 100% lol
Well, it depends
hydrogen is combustible, don't forget
its not like plane crashes are survivable right now
kerosene is almost worse
hydrogen will not explode until it is mixed with air sufficiently
But again, the ammount of crases per flights each day is miniscule
though the pressure tanks exploding would probably be worse
Most of the time it's just minor incodents
anyways, hydrogen trains - a step in the right direction, just the wrong application
hydrogen doesnt have a good application
Boats would be a good starting point
except as a replacement for natural gas
i'm sorry, but dreckos only grow their fur (or scales if glossy drecko) in hydrogen
besides, theres other fuels you can synthesize with excess energy
like gas
thats way more usefull
Hydrogen train are safe
It doesn't use radioactive/reactive Isotope of hidrogen
Yknow
Like deutrium and tritium
It just use normal hydrogen,which in some case are flammable but generally safe
Hypergolic more worse
Deuterium isn't radioactive
It was If you mixed it with uranium,but overall never being a good idea and yes it less reactive than normal hidrogen
@bitter citrus maybe If you interested reading about this plane,and oh yeah sorry for tagging
this is a super cringe twitter account
god
@bitter citrus are bike parking garages childish?
and the inconvenience of parking
lol
muh politics
the whole reason we got bike garages is because theres just too many bikes
correction: DOT is going to fix this city... it's heartwarming.
poor old bus getting decommissioned
Indeed
Cool thread
Epic
Bus adventures go brr
Was supposed to arrive at my destination at 17:19 but it's 17:27 and i'm still not there
Busses
Bus go brrr
I started absolutelu simping for trolleybuses
Look at those beauties
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Vilnius has a well-developed public transportation system; 45% of the population take public transport to work, one of the highest figures in all of Europe. The bus network and the trolleybus network are run by Vilniaus vieลกasis transportas. There are over 60 bus and 22 trolleybus routes, the trolleybus network is one of the most extensive in Eu...
Wow trolley
Trollingbus,the only vehicle i support for trolling car lane
the trolling vehicle
Oh cool our bus system will be getting improvements
Sleep trolley
g
bus
trolleybus
Rail bus
bus rail
Trolley bus it's a bad idea?
Good one
very good idea
.
not worse than that
imagine le straddling bus
Le straddling bus after the actual bus/minivan try to ram it from behind
No this is a good idea I want to see this with my own eyes
imagine an ambulance has to go through there
me when roof rack and bike
if you really have to just make an elevated monorail
i guess no trucks are allowed to go by there
sounds utterly impractical
then it simply had to be an elevated monorail
Suspended train :
wuppertal?
Yep

car discussions #2 (merica)

we had streetcars
tram > metro
Based
Brt bus
depending where will you use
Metro can be useful if the people will use the line very often
and if there is no space
tram is good if you have a range in the middle and if you have enough space
Use the RER
cat turned into train
Funny
low floor boos
Have fun taking it up anything more than a five degree angle
Brt bus
They love france
(he loves france)
(he is correct he loves france)
(he is correct with the message he is correct he loves france)
lol
useless idea
and will cost too much
you will have to build roads for that
what happend at crasches?
slightly taller van:
stop trying to "revolutionize" transit
fun fact: metro is practically immune to traffic
if this was meant to be immune to traffic this is a pointless idea
just build a tram
Just use Plane to do Paris -> Nice like Macron ๐ TGV is useless
and if you still want to avoid traffic, but cant go underground
maybe put the train on stilts
Since i got to experience the paris metro experienceโข๏ธ, i will do a little slander
"Yes, i take the stairs in Abbesses station, how can you tell?"
Newest train on M12:
When your metro ticket doesn't work for no apparent reason:
(You have to pay an 80 euro fee if you go to the metro without scanning your ticket)
Gonna be honest, i'd gladly live in paris just for the metro system
I have to pay 120โฌ-150โฌ if I get caught not having a ticket
yes

Tram x bus
I wish the trolley bus went through the grass like a tram
I wish there were more boxy trams
I mean the modern pointy train-like trams look cool but boxy trams are way cooler
Old cities skylines tram
This new brt is insane
railbus
Jermany buses:
Flixbus real
Reall
(real)
My city got new buses
Transport your discussions here.
first
Vroom vroom
yeah let's make threads for every topic possible
How to kill a channel 101
you get to ride a vehicle +1 million euros
they even open doors for you!!!
have air conditioner
even announce location for you
imagine, not to think advanced
?
well with such buses as we have here nobody wants to use them
We have a decent bus system
and that is because Ukrainian cities are at top 10 in traffic jam ranking worldwide
Thankfully I mostly transit to Amsterdam so in city transit is covered by metro
cring
We have a massive bus network cause we haven't discovered how to make ametro line while avoiding roman crap
Bro our metro system is so overbudget
It feels like the transport company in charge of our buses tries to stick to a theme when it comes to design but it fails
Also, a long ass tram line that is crowded 1/3 of the time
Too many old building foundations as well as soft wet ground
Not that i mind, i can get from points a to b to c to a quite comfortably
wtf
hope with current events our government will finally understand the importance of public transportation
Let's not talk about that
because of all the changes we got here there were only demolitions of train and tram lines
:(
๐ฉ
True
huh
I have no choice but to use public transit anyway
You don't get around in Amsterdam in a car
Unless you hate yourself
And your wallet
Parking is not cheap
bike?
I need to travel an hour by train
ah
I get to school by car since my mom gets to drop me off while going to work, then music school and going back home are all easily accessible by bus
well travel 3 hours but on bike :troll:
Since i live like 7km away from my school it's not worth it
bro
just teleport
cringe.
/tp school
my parents forbad me going to school on a bike and were giving me money on taxi instead
I still don't know why
speaking of taxis
forbidded
show me your taxi cars
just a regular cars
We have like a million of those
even with no taxi signature
Same cars but different companies
in my hometown we still don't have even ubers
and there's only 1 or 2 local companies that you need to call to order a car
There's this popular electric scooter and car rental company called bolt
Very popular in our city
we have bolt but only in big cities
In a city of pretty much 100k we have a ton of people use bolt, mainly younger people though
their scooters are good
Yeah
Never got to use them but from people i know i've heard they're pretty darn good
Here a lot of people have their own electric scooters
And you barely see rental scooter here
I wanted to buy a scooter
I could do a fun game of count the amount of bolt electric scooters that are placed around in random areas of the city
I own a bicycle which i use sometimes whenever i want to spend my time actively
but it's a bit broken now and I'm too lazy to go fix it
nice
You could partially consider boats as a form of transport in our city, but it's more private transport for fun or fishing
Either way only one part of the city is connected to a lake so public transport vis ferries would be impractical
why people underestimate water transport
in some scenarios it's really good way of transporting
Not to mention that same lake is where a lot of people go swimming during summers
So it's not exactly the best idea to put water transport
in soviet times we had a "sea tram" from my hometown to regional center and it was quite good
like you're avoiding all the traffic on land
but they got discontinued:(
I know the coastal city in lithuania has ferries but to transport people from one side of the shore to the other without having any bridges built or having to cross through russia
also we had a train to our town
but it got discontinued as well
for no reason
and now the only way of commuting are ugly unsafe scary buses
We dont have dedicated taxi vehichles
Only private taxis
Just normal vehichles with a taxi plate
Speaking of ugly unsafe scary things, my god how scary old soviet elevators are
I got claustrophobia from them
Well thankfully it's pretty much over but i still am sometimes scared of them
And speaking of elevators, would you consider elevators a form of transport
Since technically they do automatically go up and down transporting people
yeah
it's my childhood phobia #1
luckily, as far as i know they all are replaced with a new elevators here
also, for some reason there always was a button for a 10th floor while all soviet buildings were 9 floor tall
and i remember in my aunt's house there was written near 10th floor button "rockets on the US"
:fall:
whenever i take an old elevator, i always get this feeling that it'll just fail any second and the elevator will fall and that would be the demise of me
not to mention that somewhat dim lighting they have
and how it all looks like it's made of wood
oh, perfect horror story material
i remember such a lift suddenly stopped and my grandma tired of waiting for a rescue team just parted the doors with the bare hands
unfortunately i do not have a 9 story apartment block within walking distance so i cannot get to one of those spooky eerie elevators
oh yes and that small amount of space
we have double elevators in 10+ floors buildings
all 9 story buildings have 1 single door elevator
as far as i'm aware 12 story buildings have 2 single door elevators
in 14 and 16 floor buildings we have 1 single door and 1 double door
and these cool 13 story buildings have 1 single door and 1 double door
i always liked the double doors more since there was more space
but even if i had to go to the 9th floor, i still preferred going via stairs
why Baltic soviet housing is looking so much better than other former republics ones ๐ฉ
also are those the ones which are in game lol
afaik rockfort made them as a theotown plugin
these bad boys have 1 single door elevator
ah yes they are rockforts ones
for some reason I thought they were added to the vanilla game
and these rockstars have 2 single door elevators
i've never been inside those punks before but i have a feeling like there are either 1 or 2 single door elevators there
same goes with these
i've heard that the reason why we have so many 5 story buildings is because that used to be the limit of how high you can go without needing an elevator
thought so
we have such standards here to this day
but they were changed a bit, so every 5+ floors buildings should have at least one high capacity elevator
like service one
high capacity as in?
idk
in my house it's 900kg
or smth like that
in modern built houses there are the same elevators as in my house, but alongside there is like really small one
two persons can barely fit in there
i wonder what elevators would this 16 story building in vilnius require
but some new buildings have double doored elevators as well
as far as I remember there are two double doored elevators in those buildings
actually this whole topic of elevators is fascinating lol
I'd never thought I would be discussing elevators xd
like when would you require three elevators?
I saw more than two elevators only in business centers
wait this is not really transit
maybe in some 25+ floor monstrosities they have 3 elevators lol
this is apartments and housings
elevators are transit
i mean
period
yeah depends how to interpret it
anyways i wonder how many elevators these chonkers have
2
please don't suggest making separate elevator discussing thread
or 1
๐
2 100%
soviet building, so regulations with 9+ floors are applied
i wonder if this building would or wouldn't have elevators
it's half 6 floor half 5 floor
also if the 6 floor is technically a penthouse they don't install elevators as well
I've been in other buildings with floor count differences and it's always been that one side has an elevator and if you wanted to get to the other side you took the elevator and then one set of stairs up or down
taxis look like this here, mustard yellow cars, mainly crappy cheap chevrolets
Some Dutch taxis
Literally just private vehichles with a taxi sign and a blue license plate
interprovincial buses my beloved
i just really really really f-ing love buses
private transport is some f-tier sh-t
anyways
let's talk about dugout loo
loop
honestly what the f-ck elon musk
tbf everything the boring company does is garbage
las vegas loop is just a subway, compacted into tiny teslas and having horrible efficiency
What's this
transit discussions
Checkout this fancy train
Comfortable as hell
Also pretty sure I'm cruising at >125kmh
Damn
I'm not a guy who uses trains often
I've been on a train like 4 times in my life
broom
I only rode a train like once
I typically prefer buses
I would use trains more often if they had like earlier ones from my city
trains imo is far better than any transport
plane? Get shot down, crashing has almost 99% fatality rate, TURBOLANCE, and food is fcken sucks
Depending on usage
car? Traffic. done
In here train just have 3 accident
I have to interject that flying is the safest mode of transport
Boat? wAvEs
Submarine? IF WE HAD ONE!
I did a Milan to Schiphol and it was almost as long
Submarine was slow
It doesn't help when your parents wake up like 8 hours before the flight to get ready
true
no fkin wonder why the chat suddenly dead
All aboard felllas
Space Rocket? Moneh gone...
lol
Trains are very competitive compared to cars
Here
Depending on the destination it is faster and maybe even cheaper
Old
Tesla planned to build gigafactory in here
But they already got tight competition from commuter line and another massive transit system

I'm glad they didn't come here
Nah its bad idea for Elon to make one
Exactly
Lithium enrichment itself was disaster
That's why I said "didn't"
Not having a tesla factories doesn't mean that the country is not improving
^ This goes to some retarded Malaysians who think like that
Many of my fellow countrymen also think that
They think without Tesla we could not improve
Turns out government plan for massive transport has lay foward
Mans said "omg malaysia is not a developed country!!!"
My brother in christ, we have Bayan Lepas
Imagine building Tesla factory in Venezuela and then the inflation rate lowers
Tesla is just another business doing business things, like exploiting workers
It's more like they go wherever labour laws are underdeveloped
If Tesla build factory here not only workers Problem could happen
Nature gonna follow soon after
The massive amount of Lithium in here was in protected area
That means you could not simply Strip it for mining
I have joined transit
Only India trains lol
metrovรญa (metrovรญa)
nmp
@subtle orchid what do you think, how many and which elevators would this 16-18 story building have
2
Cable elevator?
train
I propose another solution
ah yes, the netherlands, the country where one person gets 47 bikes
Just need more bikes man
I can't even find my bike half the time at my rural station
But the bike stalls around Amsterdam central station are something else
This is just the above ground section
There's a underground garage that opened a while back too
bikes
Utrecht centraal tho, they got the largest underground bike storage in the world
De grootste fietsenstalling ter wereld biedt plaats aan maar liefst 12.500 fietsen en bevindt zich onder het stationsplein bij het Centraal Station in Utrecht. Je kan er uiteraard heel goed en functioneel je fiets stallen om je weg met de trein te vervolgen, maar er alleen een rondje doorheen fietsen is stiekem nog veel leuker!
The largest bic...

you also have gears
Fun fact at a metro station I go to often there's a nuclear bunker complex attached
lol
Funniest thing i got three bike but all of them got sell back because i have motorcycle now
Funnier thing I have a bike
ded chat
ok and
ok
No
Let's talk about transit.
My city only has one transit line which is a light rail.
Sad
I got a train station
Has 1 line going over it
There's a bus too but that one is garbage and intended for towns without trains
i got a train station
but it's intercity
there are a few buses which go to the train station
but it's right next to the center so you can pretty much take any bus and get over there
with the exception of routes 8, 9, 10, 10a, 11, 13, 16, 19, 22, 23 and 25
oh i lied
25 does get you to the train station
Only large cities here get multiple train stationd
But even intercity lines get a train every half hour
And it's a double decker so it's got plenty of capacity
as far as i'm aware lithuania straight up doesn't have multiple train stations in cities
Those small stations are usually only in lines with lighter trains
And the lines don't go nearly as far
actually if i recall correctly we do have 2 train stations but one is pretty much never used
because it's a train station to some random suburban area
it's pretty much there as a "middle station" between 2 cities close to each other
That reminds me of the arena station in Amsterdam
It's a big station but usually completely deserted
Ah, so it's pretty much same for us except that station is tiny
But during arena events
Obviously it's designed for throughput for events
Sounds like dugout loop
Because good luck parking
At least this is actually trandit
Transit
Dugout loop is just uhh
What elon musk and only elon musk considers "transit"
Are there any buses going to it at least
We do have a bus which goes to the arena but it goes very rarely
Yeah, it goes only 9 times a day
6 times in the morning and 3 in the evening
Yea they got em
In work days only
Well I don't use any busses
So that bus route is obviously made for people who need to go from their home to their workplace, it's not for the arena lol
And it is pretty obvious when you know where it goes, it goes from the most populous district of the city to an industrial area
Actually we have a few of these routes just for this purpose, which go a few times in the mornings and evenings, sometimes they only go in the mornings
I frequently use buses
I bike to my train station, get the train to Amsterdam central and take the metro from there
Well i was about to write a big message about my city's bus routes but i accidentally closed discord and now the message is gone
Oopsie
Train in His mind just bunch of car grouped to move together
Dude wanted to milk transit fans by creating train Version but less effective
He would just explain it like it was part of his childhood and then says "No, we won't do it"
literally just dug a metro and slapped tesla's on it
The tunnel was unveiled in mid-April 2021 with regular Tesla Model 3 and Model X cars used for shuttling, running at about 35 miles per hour (56 km/h)
its slower too lol
also a capacity per hour of 44000 in perfect conditions lol
thats gonna hold up well when theres 50000 football fans wanting to go home
44k Times 24
Lol
Its more downgraded version of Trash
Our commuter system could reach normal capacity 1-2 Million in Work time
Assuming it was around 16 hours if you count it based on work hour
If it was 24 hours then the number more bigger
Around 20 percent
Don't forget the fact it was in weekday
When weekend comes,the Whale go into the net
Also this was from 2016 when we not buy the newest brand of commuter train
Now it has more powerful train and could pull 12 wagon
I doubt this was per hour
More like per day since you know
My bad, that's an extra 0 too many
It's 4400
In a perfect test
Thats better but also dayum
4400 per hour
Imagine lose to a vehicle that more older 40 years than that but still manage to pull thousand Times more
Literally the F-4 Phantom.
Too fast than modern jets
If someone ask me which to ride,either horse or Elon Musk loop,i do rather choose horse since it was more efficient and even better totally Eco friendly

not to mention
youve got cars driving over a fixed line
but you dont bother using rails??
I remember He Protest over California hsr
Saying it was stupid to not draw hsr in straight line lol
And as we know California is full of mountain
So government didn't want to risk building tunnel into the mountain since their money was dry
Public transit momento
where ya going

nice
