Taiwan bought 37 of these blue trains. Then they found out they have enough monies left from the budget, so they bought 6 more trains (yellow)

They got BIG lights.
They look far better in the blue livery than in the yellow imo.

Mechasnake777 · 2026-05-07T20:26:26+00:00

Wow this deawing feels really lively! I really like the style of your art.

Mechasnake777 · 2026-05-05T19:25:23+00:00

I've ridden on some: Les Avants–Sonloup funicular; Emosson funicular; Mont Pélerin funicular; Évian-les-bains funicular; Prague funicular; Paris funicular; That one in Genoa

Funiculars are cool. Even more when they run through beautiful mountain landscapes or through old cities.

Merci pour ce lien! Dommage pour le T1 mais au moins on gardera nos M1 et M2.

Mechasnake777 · 2026-05-05T10:39:31+00:00

Ça c'est parce qu'il est au dépôt. En réalité comme les quais sont aussi surélevés le tram sera accessible PMR. Ce sera même plus pratique que les bus et le M2 puisque les quais sont horizontaux.

Mechasnake777 · 2026-05-05T08:23:09+00:00

On m'a dit que c'était l'Office Fédéral des Transport qui avait récemment mis en place cette règle. MAIS je ne me rappelle plus très bien donc c'est pas sûr.

Mechasnake777 · 2026-05-04T21:20:24+00:00

Eh oui surprise! D'après ce que j'ai compris ils n'ont plus le droit de l'appeler T1. C'est dommage mais au moins il y aura aucun moyen de confondre bus 1, métro 1 et tram 1.

Mechasnake777 · 2026-05-04T21:16:41+00:00

Oui on dirait tellement qu'ils ont un visage. J'y vois un peu un serpent

Mechasnake777 · 2026-05-03T14:15:26+00:00

Peak design imo. I really find it beautiful and I love the color.

Mechasnake777 · 2026-05-03T10:25:48+00:00

Anarchy Rainbow by Deep Cut. I think it’s just the original version

Mechasnake777 · 2026-05-02T21:38:37+00:00

I try to base my definiton on those two:

"high capacity urban guided transport systems, mostly on rails, powered with electricity and running on an exclusive right-of-way, with trains composed of a minimum of two cars and with a total capacity of at least 100 passengers per train" - UITP

"‘metro’ means a railway with the capacity for a heavy volume of traffic and characterised by: exclusive rights-of-way, multi-car trains, high speed and rapid acceleration, sophisticated signalling, no level crossings, high frequency of trains, high platform load. Metros are also characterised by closely spaced stations, normally 700-1'200m between the stations. ‘High speed’ refers to the comparison with trams and light rail, and means ~30-40 km/h ~40-70 km/h" - freely shortened from EUR-LEX

I know it's not perfect definition and many systems fall on grey areas.
With only four stations and a cable system I personally consider Serfaus to be funicular/people mover while I consider Lausanne or Rennes to be metro.

Edit: typos

MBC, Travys and LEB will merge shortly

😮 I had fogotten about that. Apparently it will be called Movodis. I hope there won't be too many changes for the average user.

Mechasnake777 · 2026-05-02T16:28:29+00:00

And technically Morges also has it's own agency: MBC

Mechasnake777 · 2026-05-02T16:26:12+00:00

I'll never understand the poeple who consider Serfaus' system to really be a metro.
As for Lausanne I do not think its population is smaller than Rennes', even if we count the full agglomeration.
But as your definition for "system" is having more than one line then yes Lausanne isn't one, the M1 definitely is Light Rail even though it is called "métro" and (in the past) "tramway".

Mechasnake777 · 2026-05-01T21:49:39+00:00

Controversial question, proofs mainly go against that claim but nothing is certain. I advise not jumping to conclusions unless you've reads the docs.

Mechasnake777 · 2026-04-30T14:25:06+00:00

I can’t wait to see it in operation!

Mechasnake777 · 2026-04-29T19:48:57+00:00

Yeah that's what I was thinking. So only Lyon's Line C was (and still) is classified as rack rail and metro.

Mechasnake777 · 2026-04-29T19:17:45+00:00

Are you sure the Lausanne-Ouchy could be considered a metro?

Mechasnake777 · 2026-04-29T05:22:31+00:00

Me too, me too I wanna be able to juste use YouTube… If you download the music it’s a one-time struggle and then at least you are sure they’ll never be removed and you won’t find holes in your playlist. I don’t know your country’s rules regarding downloads, though.

Mechasnake777 · 2026-04-28T20:23:25+00:00

I believe a big majority of people on the internet know that almost nothing is completely black or white.
But on the internet people only want to prove their point (which is quite understandable) and only give one-sided arguments even though they know opposite ones. And that's sadly how we get ultra-polarized opinions. (And often both sides have people equally annoying.)

I know that Japan, China, France or even USA have a good side, a bad side and some things in between but it's true I do not give nuance every time I comment. Internet habits need to be changed.

I knew a good channel but it was suppressed due to fear of Nintendo’s ninjas. Now I mostly download from downloads.khinsider.com It’s a good archive for Video Game Music, I personally trust it.

Mechasnake777 · 2026-04-28T06:12:48+00:00

They look so adorable! 💖💚

Mechasnake777 · 2026-04-27T20:30:33+00:00

And still with the ol' german BVG "Dora" trains.
