Seriously, "air freight" just aneurysm inducing.
>Finally finished that 90s MTB resto conversion mod>It rides badly
>>2069503people have always liked retro shit. fashion is cyclical, etcmost "shitbikes" aren't shit and are just a frame with outdated styling but still 10,000$ of parts on it
>>2069178because my pannier rack was made of cheese and broke off.
>>2069517don't get me wrong i still like my old bikes, i think it's this argument that modern bicycle have zero merit that's silly.

It became a movie precisely because it’s such a rare case. It’s just like Hanks’ *The Terminal*.
>>2069622Believe it or not, you can do this right now. Except it will be freight trains, and its not very romantic. It does pay very well though.
>>2069622Thank you for the movie recommendation.
>>2069622>wanna get a comfy subway driver job>good working hours, good benefits and vacation days, decent enough pay, don't have to move to bumfuck nowhere and can stay in the city>they started boasting about autonomous trains on the lines in the last year so it'll all be gone in a decaderip
How is this guy alive? First one or two videos I watched, I thought he was just going for (You)s but they just get worse and worse. The only way this makes sense is if he has terminal cancer and he wants to die riding a bike and not in a hospital bed.

>>2069477Oh come on that looks fun not even that scary
>>2036202Who the fuck is this?
>makes public transportation irreleventYou're welcome.It's scientifically demonstrable in transportation modeling if your population density is low enough, local government should just subsidize rideshare and it solves all transportation demand
>>2068593But neighborhood convenience stores (as opposed to truck stops) that have gas DO have milk and eggs, and many of them even have kitchens. The real difference between New York's "bodegas" and convenience stores is that they don't have attached gas stations, and maybe not much in the way of other perishables (not that any these shops have great quality on those), which are located in the supermarkets 5-6 minutes by car and offer a far superior selection for a lower cost.
>>2068593the reason the prices are "reasonable" at the larger grocery stores is because they aren't delivering and displaying product in smaller stores closer to you home.
>>2067829> some logistic issue around having posession of a car (parking, no license, whatever)You say this like the logistics of having to find a place to park your car is nontrivial in all major cities, and doesn't cost money.I can budget $100 a week for public transit in virtually anywhere I visit and that's it for transportation costs. Even including an uber or two.>But what about going places without public transit?If I'm going deep into the woods or whatever, then renting a car pencils out. But the vast majority of the time, it's stupid. I've rented a car one single time as an adult for a trip where it was absolutely required. I've never felt the need otherwise.
>>2067599I hate standing around at a place waiting for a car to show up to be driven to place2. I would rather just walk or drive myself.
>>2069710Look, if money is your biggest issue, and if you're always traveling within/to big cities with good pubtrans, then good for you. And I mean that without a hint of sarcasm. But for me, and I think for a lot of other people, time is a more precious commodity on vacation, and unless a bus or train happens to go directly from where you are to where you want to be exactly when you want to go, then private transportation is going to be quicker; usually significantly so. Hailing a cab/uber, or better yet having your own car (rented or otherwise) is going to let you visit more destinations in a day rather than piddling along on a bus that stops every block to let people on and off.
The fundamental problem of any form of public transportation is the other people you're unfortunate enough to be forced to spend time with. Prove me wrong.Pic related
>>2067965I take the bus and while I haven't NEVER encountered this, it's pretty rare
>>2066408>they're carrying a load...let's be real here, you can't carry lots of stuff on the bus. maybe like two of the standard 20L "reusable" shopping bags plus a backpack, MAX. the same shit fits in panniers on a bike
>>2067973I agree, depending on what time you ride. If you only ride during heavy work comute hours, it's usually fine. But still, in general these types of situations are why people dislike public transit.
There are niggers sitting in the stairwell of the light rail who didnt pay, daring legit users to ask them to move.
>>2066317This is true for any public space, not just public transport. It can happen in a store, gas station, airport, parking lot, public restroom, post office, park, you name it. It's just part of life, eventually everyone has to deal with some other person they consider to be a nuisance or are not comfortable with. Unless they decide to leave civilization and fend for themselves in the middle of nowhere.
When are we getting nuclear powered ocean liners?
>>2066469 Each hull behaves different during sailing. Modern hulls are generally safer but a big factor is freeboard height which acts like a solid sail against strong winds.The hull motion is calculated on computer models during the planning. Also cell type balconies increase the surface contact impacting rolling. Of course, stabiliser fins are helpful in adverse conditions but increase the ship's resistance to waves. Officers do a lot work at passage planning making sure passengers are affected the least possible.
>>2066947At that point might as well just have a seaplane/flying boat
>>2067246That's both.

I flew down to the Bay Area to take a journey on the Niles Canyon Railway's mysterious and rarely traveled Eastern branch aboard the M200 Railbus. The last of its kind still operating, the M200 once served the California Western Railroad as a literal schoolbus for children. Today is its first publicly available excursion in several years.
>>2054600I think that is a former automat car.

Hey guys I love when school busses are repurposed either for USA van lifers or as public transit in other countries like MX, Nica, Guatemala, etc. SO I saw this and took a picture to share with you all I love the green color.

The Electra Townie is apparently the best selling bike in America. I figured it would've been some gravel bike or hybrid but nope, it's actually just a cruiser/commuting bike with a really weird seating position (even for cruiser standards). Anyone ever ridden one? I just got one used for about $150 as a daily urban rider but the weird tube angle is starting to give me second thoughts but I haven't had a chance to ride it yet. What do you velophiles think of these things?
>>206951550c has been deposited into your Electra™ account
>>2069523I'm not the guy who wrote the review dipshit. Unironically go outside and touch grass.
>>2069524On an Electra™ Townie®?
I have something similar I use for my mom so she can strengthen her core and mobility. The appeal of this style of bike is that you can put all yout weight on the saddle and have one foot flat when getting on and off the bike. People that dont cycle all the time or haven't done it in decades will want to be able to get on and off the bike comfortably and will just sit on the saddle like its a seat. Also the 1x with twist shifters is easy to figure out.
>>2060815It's what I've been riding for the longest time for urban commutes (Raleigh Sprite). What's cool about them, is if you straighten your back and fix your posture, you can easily use your whole body to propel the thing.I've since got a rigid MTB (Kona Unit X) as I no longer live in the big city, and it's not bad, very good on trails, very stable, but it's a leg-only affair.
That cozy, old school cabin photo of a Delta Air Lines L1011 TriStar from the 1980s is getting people talking for one simple reason: it looks roomy. Wider looking aisles, big overhead bins, and that warm lighting that makes the whole cabin feel like a different era of flying.Delta's own history of the L1011 explains why it felt that way. The airline called it "high, wide and handsome," noting a cabin about 8 feet high and 19 feet wide, plus wider aisles and large entry doors designed to make boarding and deplaning easier.Delta's first revenue L1011 flight was on Dec. 15, 1973 from Atlanta to Philadelphia, and the airline ultimately flew 70 of the type, the largest L1011 fleet in the industry.Delta retired the L1011 in 2001, after decades of domestic and international flying, including transatlantic and transpacific routes. And over time, the industry shifted hard toward efficiency and packing more people into each flight, especially after U.S. airline deregulation in 1978 changed how airlines competed. Looking at this cabin, you can see why so many travelers say, "Yeah... they really don't make it like that anymore."
>>2062036I don’t think the actual seats are any bigger though. It just looks like there are less overhead bins and a higher ceiling.
>>2066435They didn't recycle the air in that era, especially since you could smoke onboard.
>>2062036>>2062668where do the middle-row passengers place their bags?
>>2062668>>2062036Ok yeah a bit more room but>costs 3x as much in real terms>chance of dying horribly is like 20X higher>still pressured air that makes you feel horrible
>>2062046>People probably took less stuff too as rolling cases hadn't been invented>>2062039>Airlines hadn't started charging extra for checked baggage yet, flights often weren't completely full, so less overhead bin space was neededThe rolling cases is part of it. When you had to carry your entire luggage with you one-handed, you packed a lot differently. Rolling bags allowed people to carry more stuff. But when you didn't have a rolling bag, it was more of a pain in the ass to try to lift it above your head for overhead bags. So most people checked their bags. If they brought a carry on it was something small like a purse or maybe a briefcase

>>2066399
>>2066399Scale up the number of people flying ,light planes to equal the number of people flying cars, then apply the equivalent number of deaths and injuries due to bad driving, carelessness or DUI, and then imagine these bad/drunk pilots hitting hospitals, schools or chemical plants.
>>2066399I only JUST learned that my city has a residential aviation community now I want a house thereI want to be able to fly a couple cities or a state over on the weekend no more traffic no hangar fees I was content to just live in my crappy 1400 sq foot house with my crappy 80k engineering job for the rest of my life but now I want more money because those houses start at a million and then I need to own and maintain a small plane
The third anniversary of the deadliest railway crash in Greek history is in a few days so I figured I'd make this thread.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempi_train_crash30 years ago, dozens of trains daily serviced many greek cities, today, only one line is operational, linking the two biggest cities with just two trains a day. This is a combination of Greece having a very car-centric culture, the population concentrating in these two cities to the point where the countryside is all but abandoned, and powerful inter-city bus companies lobbying against trains.Infrastructure is severely outdated, since funds for upgrades are embezzled between officials and the private company owning the railway since the 2017 so even if there was demand, the system just couldn't take it and a lot of the disused lines would have to be essentially rebuilt. Do you think there's any way rail in Greece can be salvaged?
>>2066522Cause trains are cool and cars are the devil inshallah
Trains are way more energy efficient compared to cars and trucks, safer and don't cause congestion on highways and cities when run regularly. They can be surely salvaged as long as a serious private company acquires the infrastructure and makes sense to use it for commuting.
>>2066522Because the roads and drivers are awful. In rural areas, they are de facto treated as 4 laned to let impatient people pass.
>>2066520RIP Grekos
>>2066520Given rural population collapse the only realistic and useful expansion of rail service would be the reintroduction of direct services from Thessaloniki to Sofia, Belgrade & Istanbul
