A single train with a single crew can transport more people in a day when travelling at higher speed.
This is running costs. The capital costs are irrelevant.

It’s cheaper to run a high speed service than a low speed one. You can transport more people with the same number of staff and trains because it runs faster. The solution isn’t to run an artificially cheaper low speed service along side, it’s to run the high speed service in a sane way.
The problem isn’t how they’re constructed, it’s how they’re run, and this article is basically just complaining about SNCF without realising it. They run bad timetables and aim for high occupancy rather than transporting more people. Jon Worth has better writing on the topic IMO.
Should it not be double foldable? It has two folds
Or the fact that it doesn’t need to be real because 1. It’s still funny and 2. We all know that the incident has happened somewhere, because shit like this happens so often.
Which part of what I said do you disagree with?
exactly, either way you need to make sure there isn’t any oncoming traffic.
If there isn’t space to overtake two cyclists side by side, there isn’t space to overtake one cyclist. If there’s another car coming towards you while you overtake, you’d be endangering the one cyclist.
The 20mph has had a measurable impact in Wales, and it does lower average speeds even if more people are now driving over the limit. It really should come along with infrastructure changes to reflect the lower limits, but that would take decades and this is something that can be done quickly.
Traffic flows best at 20mph. Here’s a scientific study that proves it (pdf warning)
Lower speeds have a huge impact on the pedestrian you hit. There’s a big difference between the fatality rates at 30mph Vs 20mph
New roads don’t reduce traffic, they create more. It’s called induced demand. We should be building viable alternatives to driving.
You can get a permit to carry a gun in Switzerland if you actually have a good reason for it, like being a security guard. Otherwise you can transport it to your shooting range as long as it isn’t loaded. So I wouldn’t really say she could carry that in this context.
I’m surprised by how many people here buy into Apple’s marketing. I thought people on Lemmy would be more aware.
Please don’t listen to the other guy. London is huge and incredibly diverse and there’s plenty of great people.
Gotta have at lease a little bit of victim blaming
Different places have different laws

Speak for yourself. I’m not pulling this out of my arse, I’m telling you things I just happen to know.
