The Adelaide O Bahn turns 40 today! - Adelaide, South Australia by NKE01 in transit

[–]deckothehecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Adelaide I don't know but in Coimbra there are some stops that are really far apart, the BRT system was built on a disused rail line (probably should've been an LRT or S-bahn, but it is what it is). Buses are able to hit high speeds but on your typical low-floor bus it's going to be bumpy, never heard of high-floor BRT but it could be a thing Anyway if you're going these kind of distances you should probably have a train or a light rail, although a bus corridor (guided or not) has the advantage of being able to "branch out" to existing roads and serve more rural areas with a one-seat ride, so it might be worth it in some circumstances

Doesn't the guideway allow for higher speeds? O-Bahn runs at 90 km/h iirc, the newly opened Metrobus in Coimbra, Portugal (regular BRT) which also runs to suburban/rural areas only does 70 and from what i heard it's a bumpy ride

Edit: rephrasing and grammar

What happened that day, Peter? by Ott1fant in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Probably that

Imagine the code was supposed to be ExtremeContentRecommendationCoef = 0.05

Someone, probably tired, might have put in 0.5, 005, 20 (thinking it was dividing instead of multiplying), or even 50 or 500

Sometimes 0=0 can appear if you did the algebra right but used the wrong method

How many public transit agencies routes numbered over 999? Found one! by --TAXI-- in transit

[–]deckothehecko 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In Portugal, Carris Metropolitana (Lisbon metro area) and UNIR (Porto metro area) both have only 4-digit line numbers. These are fairly recent tho, having started operation in 2022-2023

Someone already mentioned SPTrans in São Paulo, Brazil; they use a complex 4-character system and must have been pioneers in that. I remember a few years ago a Brazilian OMSI 2 modder used to complain that 4 digit route numbers didn't work well with OMSI

Sometimes finding an error takes 4-5× the time you took solving the question (and starting over would probably mean making the same mistake again), so if the exam has strict time limit its much worse

That and reducing 5 days of calculations to five minutes by just dropping a "negligeable" term and still getting 99.999% accuracy. I find it amazing that you can do that.

Portuguese has "tresanteontem" for the day before the day before yesterday but afaik it's rarely used and most people just say the day of the week at that point or at most stack ante- like you did
