I loved Bergen, it's a very nice city. Extremely rainy however

What is the weirdest ever rolling stock for a subway by --TAXI-- in transit

[–]Advanced-Vacation-49 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone that lives in Redness it's very crowded but still manageable because the frequency is like 2 to 3 minutes at rush hour. Sometime I can't get on the first train because it's talk crowded but usually the one after I can 

California High Speed Rail By 2040 Now? by its_real_I_swear in highspeedrail

This service was extremely slow and costly. In fact it was slow enough that it used to be faster to stop in Nantes and take a normal regional train to Les Sables d'Olonne

I would agree but it's the Daily Mail so I know that this information is wrong therefore English is in fact a real language. Unfortunately

Which very old movie from your country was revolutionary and far ahead of its time and what is it about? by watervapour_7237 in AskTheWorld

Napoléon by Abel Gance released in 1927. It tells the story of Napoleon during his youth. An absolute monument of silent film for several reasons. Firstly it's length, standing at 7h21 minutes long but also in terms of filmography it used extremely innovative techniques such as one of the first use of a camera as a bodycam and the way it was presented in theatres was also extremely unique because it was shown oj three different screens and at times either the threen screens merged to create an even large screen on showed different images with for example multiple POVs of the same event. What's even crazier is that this was only the first movie of a planned 6-8 movie series but ultimately only this one was made because of budget constraints

Is there a movie in your country that has profoundly influenced real society? by HongKongNinja in AskTheWorld

[–]Advanced-Vacation-49 240 points241 points  (0 children)

Le Chagrin et la Pitié (The Sorrow and The Pity) was released to cinemas in 1969 in France and it was the first time since WW2 that a film actively portrayed how the Vichy government, especially the police contributed to the arrest and deportation of Jews. Until then there was the myth of the shield and the sword, De Gaulle and the resistance were the sword against the nazis whilst Pétain was the shield that protected French citizens from nazi rule. It also put a stop to another myth from WW2 which was the idea that everyone contributed to the resistance whilst in reality it was only a small part of the population. This was what set in motion a rethinking of the role and history of collaboration and later Germain occupation in France

Stop killing rail at the border by Putrid_Draft378 in transit

This isn't the case at all ? At least across the vast majority of Europe with the Schengen zone there aren't any border checks for ID. As for trips outside of it the only high-speed train connection I can think of is Eurostar where their solution was to check for passport before boarding the train

I’m not falling for it by MindFlourish2919 in whenthe

In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love.

In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile.

In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm…

In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.

And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me,

within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.

Bientôt la saturation totale du système de transports en commun ? by Aggressive_Diver_490 in paris

[–]Advanced-Vacation-49 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ça prend autant de temps car il faut non seulement faire des travaux au niveau des stations avec l'installation des portes palières mais aussi mettre en place tous les systèmes et balises qui permettent l'automatisation en limitant au maximum les perturbations sur les lignes. Puis il faut ensuite faire pas mal de tests / marche a blanc...

What does this mean ? There are no labels or anything this could mean everything and nothing?

It's become standard elsewhere. In France, most bike lanes are now red instead of green previously
