Can’t wait for all the animals to die on the tracks
What about the cars prior that are objectively worse in more ways than one. That probably had a much higher kill rate on both people AND animals.
I didn’t say there was a problem with the train lol just don’t put grass on the tracks
Animals don’t understand that road means danger
They definitely dont understand that this grass is dangerous.
What’s your point
That there is no reason to believe they’ll die at a greater rate on these tracks than on a road.
Yes there is. Some small animals burrow in grass like rabbits and mice like I’ve already said and insects are food for birds like I’ve already said.
Don’t feed the embarrassingly low energy troll, folks. Carry on.
Yes, being concerned about putting creature habitat directly where trains run is trolling.
it’s about not being stupid. You aren’t gaining anything useful putting grass between the rails of a metro besides potential problems.
Someone said it’s been done successfully, which is surprising if true, but it’s still not really doing anything.
What creatures habitat is flat mown grass? Natural or otherwise.
Things that burrow like rabbits and mice as well as a ton of food for birds like bugs meaning birds will be likely to be there way more than pavement or gravel
Low energy troll.
Lol I’m right so you can’t argue anymore. I see you.
Living life by fucking my girlfriend and ordering supplies for my Cinco de mayo party. I don’t live on this app.
Get a life, loser 😂
Neat. You’re still wrong tho
Tracks like these have been successfully used in a lot of cities already. It’s objectively better imo
Seems dubious, but I’m curious if animals genuinely have a comparable hit rate on regular tracks vs grass filled rails.
It’s probably marginal.
First of all, these are tramway tracks, and they’re usually inside of very urban areas which don’t have many animals roaming around.
Secondly, I’m no expert, but I would argue that this sort of low cut grass will mainly attract insects. This might to birds being encouraged to find food there sure. But city birds are used to traffic and will most likely dodge tramways
Only rational argument in this thread. I don’t think it would cause a genocide of urban animals, but it’s just annoying that a city would put something attractive to them in the path of a literal train
I get that.
I’m really happy that more cities are doing it though. I’ve lived for years in a city that has those in some sections, and I really appreciated walking / biking near them compared to regular tracks.
