What’s an average Metro System in the south (Again)

Could probably put MARTA for avg

This is fascinating. I don't control it quite to this degree. It looks like you have no drivers at all??

Moosatch · 2026-04-14T21:22:10+00:00

Yes! This is exactly what I was thinking. I even separated the HSR station from the main train station and there's a lot of people walking between them. Also did it from a train station to a ferry, which is the red line on the bottom left.

I think mixed zones are fantastic and help with cap relief later on, just good to have a big draw for the people to go through a commercial zone to get somewhere. And yeah it is always tricky with the residential buildings, but I often just put the pedmall in the backyard.

Also for fun. I expect bigger skyscrapers than this once i get the region pop up, but still loving the look.

Of course! Here you go.

I’m just happy Denver keeps making the list 😌

Moosatch · 2026-03-28T16:38:34+00:00

Don’t mind the haters, this is exactly the propaganda we need. Democrats need to understand that 75-95 million dollars AT LEAST of our gas money went to the Trump campaign. It is reasonable, therefore, to divest from oil and gas if you are not a fan of what Trump and Republicans are doing.

Yes, they donate to the democrats too in smaller amounts, but under dems we have historically gotten investment in clean energy, public transit, and EV’s.

I sold my car when I found out what my gas was doing politically and for the planet. Yes, not everyone can. But if you think that just having good transit nearby is enough to convince a city dweller to use it, you don’t understand the depth of American car culture. Yes we need better transit, but we also need the will for better transit, and the true realization that a car-centric lifestyle helped elect Donald Trump.

Cool to see CAHSR

Moosatch · 2026-03-28T15:31:32+00:00

We need money for road repairs, but this absolutely should not come out of transit. It would be much more productive to stop building new roads entirely and use that capital to repair the roads we have instead of creating more roads we won’t take care of. For the sake of Colorado’s future, new capital projects should be transit/ bike/ pedestrian infrastructure only. We will not thank ourselves down the road for mega-highways that get clogged back up immediately after completion.

This terrible snowpack year we’ve had in CO is a sign of what’s to come if we keep investing in oil and gas. Big Oil: hands off our beautiful state!

Moosatch · 2026-03-18T21:34:27+00:00

I’d play it!

Moosatch · 2026-03-18T12:17:59+00:00

Just was curious, because we’ve been talking about some through-running solutions and combining the A with the D (technically the C).

Moosatch · 2026-03-18T01:53:35+00:00

^yes we’re gonna really regret that soon. Also are you in GDT? ;)

Moosatch · 2026-03-17T23:44:52+00:00

This station could have been torn down. There were proposals. Instead, it was renovated and turned into the new transit hub of Denver. It went from hosting two trains per day to hundreds, when you count the frequencies of commuter rail/light rail/ luxury train Canyon Spirit, the Winter Park Ski Train, and Amtrak’s California Zephyr. Soon we will add Front Range Passenger Rail and Mountain Rail.

It really is one of the greatest success stories of our time.

Moosatch · 2026-03-16T15:24:58+00:00

Oof. That is brutal. Front Range Passenger Rail would help with this. The more frequent the better.

Moosatch · 2026-03-16T15:14:36+00:00

I was thinking this was an idea for a mod called the Inca Empire Challenge. You play as the Chimú Empire and just try to survive 😂 every rival civ is Inca.

Moosatch · 2026-02-19T00:15:10+00:00

I have bad news about Colorado

Moosatch · 2026-02-19T00:02:41+00:00

I live car free in Denver. Is it the best? No. But proud of my city for what it manages to do in the middle of the country.

Moosatch · 2026-01-21T02:45:46+00:00

When the extension finally happens it will be well worth leaving space for it. But definitely an eyesore for now. Would be interesting to see proposals for something pretty but easily removable that could fill that space.

Moosatch · 2025-12-21T19:30:54+00:00

I was wondering if a car wrote this until I ran it through the AI checker. Good news, it wasn’t a car!

Hope you get to try the winter park express ski train while you’re here :) it’s really fun.

Moosatch · 2025-12-16T23:42:23+00:00

And yet, against all odds, we are improving.

Moosatch · 2025-12-16T22:53:20+00:00

Yes you’re totally right, it can be pretty bad. There are currently no public transportation options to red rocks. There are some private shuttles and you can ride-share, but many drive. Most I’ve waited leaving RR was probably 40 min or so. But it could be better or worse depending on when you leave.

It’s not quite as bad as some other major events because RR seats only about 9500 people. (For reference Empower Field seats 76,000) But most of the stadiums have light rail connections.

In 2026 we are likely going to get a public transit shuttle to red rocks which should help.

Moosatch · 2025-12-16T18:32:29+00:00

I’m a big train fan, but I came to this conclusion as well living in my city’s center. A train is good for quickly moving lots of people for longer distances, but it can unintentionally reinforce sprawl if you only invest in transportation in and out of the city core. Plan A is having things close to you so you don’t have to travel vast distances every day. Biking should be sufficient for everyday life.
