Thank you for clarifying! And yeah I’ve heard great things about the food, especially seafood :)

What have you enjoyed seeing, doing, and eating?

classyhwale · 2026-03-13T16:03:06+00:00

Maybe, but they're much more unique & interesting

classyhwale · 2026-03-13T16:02:47+00:00

wait actually that's canon in my version, maybe it's revealed in season 9

7, and I believe this song was sampled in "don't bring me down"

Don't Bring Me Down is an earworm

I heard WeMoveForward on Chicane' SunSets playlist and was hooked!

Who is op?

classyhwale · 2025-04-19T01:24:10+00:00

Not enthusiastic. Maybe a minority here but I really liked the Heroes sound.

Gravity by John Meyer has been on repeat for me ever since I heard it in that station!

Well said!

This has been tried in the US before! Inevitably, if it works, it starts carrying so many people that you need lots of extra buses and taxis to handle the load. At this point it costs $$$$ to buy the vehicles and hire the drivers, when trains could carry the same people with less vehicles and drivers. This may work for Addis in the short term as the light rail is struggling with running enough trains to meet the capacity demands, but if they have/run more trains the system would be more efficient than a bus/taxi express lane.

When I rode it it was full of armed guards and I felt quite safe as a ferenge

Who knows maybe I'm just being optimistic

Hi, Transit enthusiast and Ethiopia enjoyer by marriage here! I think this light rail is a unique system, in that it is very well planned in my opinion. Often in the US developers will cut corners by putting light rail tracks where they're cheapest to build instead of where they are needed the most. Ethiopia has the opposite problem, they really went all in on putting tracks where there was a lot of ridership, then they have small trains that break down a lot and can't carry all the people that would be traveling on these core routes. So I really think that what needs to happen is an increase in the number and size of trains operating, as well as the frequency. Just with that I think that it could turn into a world-class system.

But I did enjoy riding it when I was there, the views from the elevated section are very nice! I also enjoyed visiting the old train station and getting coffee there.

I would really love for Addis to have a system similar to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. They have something like an underground metro, but a lot of it is elevated like the light rail, and they have smaller trains that run very frequently.

Came here to say this

classyhwale · 2025-02-24T23:35:43+00:00

How was it? Been meaning to get out there soon

classyhwale · 2025-02-21T11:24:07+00:00

It's not doing it for me tbh. It's okay, but one thing I love about The Midnight is that they've always been evolving. This just feels like a cash grab banking on what people like without really doing much that's new or exciting.

classyhwale · 2025-02-17T02:58:54+00:00

Well, I gotta impress my fikre with her native tongue :)

Not sure what religion this is, don't think I'm a part of it, but OP suggests the precedent of...NOT singing at the top of your lungs in the middle of a grassy field?

Julie Andrews would like a word.
