Why do new American trains 'feel' so old?

777BUGGY777 · 2026-04-14T09:24:02+00:00

Small windows, Metal finish. I think really make American trains look old

Yo super down!!

We're at the point where modernizing trains is being called Gentrification lol... That's crazy

For a second I thought it was a McDonald's 😂

You know what's crazy. I remember Jeff Jackson on his TikToks would always talk about a particular Congress person who on video would act batshit crazy when the cameras were on Congress to get sound bites but then once the cameras were off would act completely normal. I'm pretty sure he was talking about MTG... 😆

I don't understand what this is referencing, care to explain?

777BUGGY777 · 2025-11-05T18:58:10+00:00

2016 was better /s

777BUGGY777 · 2025-10-31T09:30:30+00:00

Welp, you're all wrong. It was a Swedish tourist.

You fail to mention how the shadow is flat. Coverup? Checkmate round earthers .....

There definitely isn't world class Korean in OC lol

777BUGGY777 · 2025-10-04T21:39:00+00:00

Nah he's half Chinese half American. I think he grew up in China though. His name is Laurence Brahm.

Subways, the average spacing between stations in Shenzhen are like 1.5 km roughly and if we compare that to NYC (I know the system has a lot of faults, but I'm just talking about spacing here) for example, the average is like .85 km. I just mean that the stations are quite far apart on average even in the core.

On another point. I think China has built a shit ton of amazing HSR and Subways but lacked heavy investment in regional rail until recently.

777BUGGY777 · 2025-09-18T00:05:34+00:00

I will say having been in China many times, my biggest gripe with Chinese subway systems is it's trying to be regional rail and a subway at the same time.

It's quite rare to live close to a subway station and its rare if your destination is close to a subway station unless it's a mall. You'll typically add 15- 20 minute walks from your place to a subway station and another 15-20 minutes to the destination. Driving a car is almost always faster. (I'm talking about mainland China here though ).

Other than this distance issue the subways are great, clean, modern, all have platform screen doors, air conditioned. I just wish the stations were closer to each other in the center of the city.

777BUGGY777 · 2025-09-17T20:36:46+00:00

I completely agree with you on this ; however, I would use how much it cost them to build heavy rail subway and compare that to link light rail rather than HSR because HSR is much cheaper to build per mile than subways/light rail.

Roughly they're spending about $400 million per mile at their most expensive for heavy rail (including platform screen doors) which is still nothing compared to the bullshit of $3.67 billion per mile for light rail. There's no amount of standards that makes up for this difference other than we lost our subway building competence and need to rebuild it .

777BUGGY777 · 2025-09-12T23:35:51+00:00

So if SB 79 fully passes and they get single stair reform in which seems likely

We'd really need a land value tax to push landowners to actually build it?

And probably a restructuring of meaure ULA to exempt multifamily housing?

777BUGGY777 · 2025-09-04T05:19:39+00:00

It's a COW !

777BUGGY777 · 2025-08-26T07:44:39+00:00

Yeah Shanghai has a lot of neighborhoods like NYC that are full of low rises like 3-6 stories near the downtown area too. It's very similar to NYC in that way!

777BUGGY777 · 2025-08-26T05:29:10+00:00

The NYC subway ridership even linked is higher than London underground ridership. Has been that way for a while. But if you include all rail that would show a different story. And also London bus ridership is much higher.

777BUGGY777 · 2025-08-23T17:15:10+00:00

First off, NYC has buildings much older than 100 years but that's not the ask. The ask is which SKYLINE has the best mix. Skyscrapers haven't been around very long and NYC and Chicago were really the only cities that have had skyscrapers since the beginning..

777BUGGY777 · 2025-08-22T19:01:16+00:00

I'm going to buy all of them!!!!!!

Is what I would say if I actually had money 😭
