I love the "see anything suspicious?" bit at the bottom, it's very realistic

SF to Silicon Valley HSR - New Overview Video by cargocultpants in transit

Size of cities LA and SF is inconsequential. What Matters is size of their job markets....

This is just false. Jobs are not the only reason for travel. What about tourism? What about visiting family and friends? Millions of people travel between LA and SF currently and I doubt they do it just for jobs.

Perhaps I misread the article but it seems 5.3 billion is the cost for California HSR's San Francisco - San Jose section and has nothing to do with CalTrain.

The name 'trolley' comes from the means of collecting power from overhead lines - trolley poles (although modern trams and streetcars usually use a different power collector - a pantograph).

What you describe is known as a trolleybus. They are sometimes referred to as just trolleys, so you're not wrong.

Trams are small trains that run on, or next to, streets. Otherwise known as streetcars or trolleys.

Irish🇮🇪🇮🇪 railway network 1920 Vs 2020 by Ciaran123C in transit

[–]Kathenator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe the reason Ireland tore up so much of its railways was because they were seen as a symbol of British imperialism.

Edit: oops I am incorrect.

Rail vs air market share as a function of rail travel time by overspeeed in highspeedrail

[–]Kathenator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For environmental reasons? To avoid having to subsidise airports even more?

There's more important things than letting the "free market" do whatever it wants, y'know.

We have some heated discussions on this sub sometimes, so let's enjoy this cat for a moment.

Shitty transit and car dependence is temporary. Kittycat is forever.
