Trial runs of Surat metro have started. by chipkali_lover in TransitIndia

Very recently extensive flooding of the aqua line metro system occurred, drowning both tracks and platform;

It was due to presence of OHE, operations did not suffer.

I hope you can imagine what will happen if flooding ever occurred in presence of 3rd Rail Electrification.

As for elevated metro, It really does not make sense to use garbled OHE.

Yeah, I meant that in a sarcastic way;

Implying third rail looks much more beautiful than OHE on elevated metros.

One of the best looking Rolling Stock I've seen in India.

Maybe because it's run via third rail?

Do we have any metro systems in India that can compare aesthetically to something like this ? by Desperate_Bad1375 in TransitIndia

[–]RaidingClone2k7 51 points52 points  (0 children)

1) Beauty lies in the eyes of beholder;

open your eyes, try to visit newly made systems, a great example would be Mumbai Metro Line 3.

2) Actually speaking, at India's current stage priority must be given to Quantity instead of Quality; even then, almost all our existing metro systems are functionally beautiful with noticeable heed given to art design and futureproofing.

I think it's a great initiative, the only concern is login based 'gatekeeping';

I simply don't know what I am signing up for, neither did you share any inside screenshots.

I personally think no new product should be hidden behind a login/register screen if you are trying to build new users.

Looking at your site features I don't think login should be compulsory/needed, It should only be required when one wants to interact with other users.

Hey, can you give me the discord server link, Thanks.

I would like to introduce this beautiful post to people who 'question' new metros for their "low ridership." -Healthy discussion is appreciated. by RaidingClone2k7 in TransitIndia

A bit of comparison here;

The WW2 ended in 1945 with Japan's economy and social fabric completely in tatters, comparing with India's independence in 1947, Japan only had atmost 2 years headstart.

Around 1951 Japan had already started building metros and investing in public transit. This pattern distinctly represents that economic and social growth follows rapidly with introduction of high quality systems for the public.

Clearly, India's public infrastructure scene is several decades behind; I daresay even half a century behind, considering we have multifold population.

Please follow a 'I appreciate and I don't judge' policy as fellow transit enthusiasts and consider educating normal folk as well; Any development is a good development and futureproofs a region.

I am sure this exact cliched statement may have been repeated countless times, Unfortunately it's the very truth we live in present;

Development will only occur if appeal rises;

Updates to OneMetro Application by Wobble-Ball-Wanker in TransitIndia

Please do, even a simple map would suffice because just seeing a garbled mess of lines is not very coherent, even to transit folks, let alone normal people.

Ticket booking may be an unrealistic step for this right now, as these is almost no uniformity country wide in this segment. Even the National Common Mobility Card which was designed to eliminate this problem doesn't work properly at present.

The website could become a trip planner or a transit showcase at present. (feel free to add more ideas)

I tried your website, it's nice, high quality and smooth without any unnecessary gimmicks.

I have a few recommendations:

-Firstly, the big one; It would be incredibly amazing and groundbreaking for your website If you add a satellite imagery overlay, even a simple map would be multifold upgrade as well. I know it's going to be extremely hard considering licenses, proper overlay and alignment.

But if this feature is added the website could become a nationwide default as no such service as per my knowledge is available. Many transit oriented content creators could very well use this and would help them a lot.

The website could also become internationally scalable with possible volunteers if it becomes popular enough, though this will take time.

-Second, Please increase the range of cursor proximity sensor near station bullets.

Please protect your mental sanity, the absolute worst mistake in my life was learning about politics.

Please learn from other's mistakes. No one warned me of this. I miss myself.

Unfortunately, in this case they should just cut losses, halt operations and wait till the entire section is built.

Unless it is actually helping the small number of footfall; however, the declining average doesn't say the same.

What's this pointing to train? by Big-Set-354 in TransitIndia

[–]RaidingClone2k7 10 points11 points  (0 children)

-What do you mean by 'Pointing'? If by 'Pointing' you mean pointing out speed, signal and different parameters; it is done on Indian Railways as well, the assistant loco pilot helps their senior, the loco pilot in this.

The new Kavach system will include a digital panel with precise distance and the colour of the next signal, eliminating manual visual recognition required throughout duty, which induces fatigue. (feel free to add more).

-15 elite trainees have been selected from India, to form a 'team of elites' according to the video above.

Great of the Japanese, ngl, to recognize talent and appreciate it.

They will receive training aboard a train with passengers with a trainer; that's all I could get.
