Brand new VLT line in Salvador just opened thus bringing the total amount of cities in the country served with VLT up to 10.The future is bright.
>>223127637I hate trams, they defeat the purpose of railwhy do trams share the road with cars. just build a train track
>>223127637I feel so sad that the government did not bail out BomSinal and let it go bankrupt. It was the only northeastern brazilian metro/light rail maker
>>223127668>why do trams share the road with carsNot always. Salvador's for example doesn't.
>>223127668>why do trams share the road with cars. so it can go through city streets lol
>>223127725Correct
>>223127725they shouldnt. just build the infrastructure. I love East asia and their train/metro system. Its just so aesthetic and practical. In Japan they just build a traintrack. Its better for urban planning
>>223127637Based, love a nice tram
>>223127770>>223127741>>223127725holy cringemaxxedthis is 100 times more asethetic and useful/practical
>>223127797Not always, VLTs exist for a reasonAnd if you need a VLT sized system without interfering with the surroundings just build monorail
>>223127830I love Japan and its urban planning. Just look at the monorail. It blends in seamlessly into the background. I love it
>>223127797Nah it's garbage, can't drive on roads, takes so much space building one line requires huge roadblocks. Like if you built a city to have space for thhat than sure but if you have an older city that didn't account for that in city planning it's total crap
>>223127876*holy shit, two cakes!*
>>223127753you can't build grade separated trains in most European cities, and building large networks under ground is not feasible
>>223127884true. But after ww2 a lot of shit was destroyed so..
>>223127910This looks cool, but it's actually retarded
vvvggghhhighspeedtrain going through city. so aesthetic
>>223127990Not so aesthetic to those living next to it
>>223127910In Kraków (which thankfulky wasn't destroyed at all) we're finally planning to have metro and it's more practical than monorail even though monorail would be easier to build because it is double use and it can have bomb shelters and missile storage so we're war ready
>>223128005Don't fall for the monorails it's a trap, we tried it here and it was a total failure, in New Mumbai, a satellite city of Mumbai Now they're planning a suspended monorail in one of the metros, like the one in germany
>>223128136What's the issue with it?

>>223127637youd have to be an idiot to take that thing i barely tolerate the one in rio
>>223128171It's serving its purpose here (São Paulo) just fine and we even got a second line last month, why can't everyone else into monorail?
>>223128171I think that has more to do with the corruption and average IQ in India than the concept of monorail
>>223128189Drone footage like this is so Chinaman coded but this looks pretty nice. Maybe I will COME TO BRAZIL after all
I would love to go to brazil but I'm scared of getting mugged
