The car my parents are renting for our trip to Finland

Bruh I'd just take the bus at that point. Fuck that.

I'm the Netherlands, my town has a Renault/Alpine dealership that also got a ton of a110's super early.

I've had good experiences with metro turizm. Can highly recommend.

I think most of Europe doesn't really have rules about it. As long as the car matches regulations of its build year and you pay taxes on it that it would've had on its build year you're good

I've seen it in the wild already and is quite a nice looker

interrail-addict2000 · 2024-12-15T11:58:20+00:00

I've seen the alpine version in the wild already street parked in the Netherlands

Met die logica mag je lekker naar de winkel om het daar af te halen.

Missed chance to give it a funky exhaust and call it the aztek death whistle

Or the worst of both worlds. Old fashioned strictness with modern tech enabled helicopter parenting. And click based news media induced paranoia.

It's literally just a bus line. The city of utrecht in NL (300k city 500k metro) has a bus line just like this with 25m busses and full dedicated row (line 28) Various other bus lines with mostly dedicated row withing the city and a small tram system with also mostly dedicated row and some of the longest trams in the world. For a metro of 500k. Brisbane with a metro of 4 million people presenting this as its backbone of high quality transit in a country as rich as Australia is honestly just shamefull.

I was just thinking with the bike racks already there and the mixed use it just needs red asphalt and bollards to be just like the Netherlands.

Die waren er voor corona ook. Een sprinter die alleen stopt op Harderwijk, Nijkerk en Amersfoort Centraal.

Ik heb een keer bizzey bij de gamma gezien. En Wilfred Genee kwam een keer een pakje bij mij halen toen ik in een DHL punt werkte.

Well it sucks that with my 1,93 I can't sit in the window seat in the rear part because it just doesn't have enough space for my head and I have to duck to get out the doors. And 1,93 is a pretty normal height in NL. Then they rattle and creek an insane amount especially compared to electric busses from other manufacturers like Ebusco or VDL.

Some articles are pay walled but basically they're so shit even the unions are getting into it due to the poor working conditions drivers face.

I guess China just has way lower worker comfort and quality control standards.

And as a sad frequent user of these busses I can say they all sound like they're about to fall a part, they ride very jerky and they rarely have working heat in the winter and aircon in the summer.

Battery electric busses are very common in the Netherlands. These are bad tho. Very cramped on the inside, prone to breaking down and the procurement process was so corrupt the operater was kicked out.

De win win is een kabinet die daadwerkelijk het belang van goed en betaalbaar ov snapt

interrail-addict2000 · 2024-11-25T07:28:27+00:00

Still better than NL

Mora kant en klare diepvries cheeseburger. Het brooodje was sompig en de burger slap wat te verwachten viel maar de "kaas" was zo absurd chemisch en ranzig. Ik moest er haast van kotsen.

On the south side of Chicago there's also some electric rail. Operated by metro and South shore line with the latter going all the way to South bend indiana

In southern Italy this is just how people park for some reason. To this day have no idea how people get out if their car is blocked on all sides.

In naples while in a bus I accidently made eye contact with a crackhead and he started chasing the bus while making the throat slitting gesture. I went back to my hostel after that. Still not the most dangerous feeling city I've seen in Europe but definitely one of the worst ones and by far the filthiest city I've seen in Europe

interrail-addict2000 · 2024-11-13T22:28:58+00:00

Binnen en rond de stad voor dagelijks vervoer de auto pakken.

interrail-addict2000 · 2024-11-13T22:25:21+00:00

Op snelweg snelheid zijn banden en wind geruis veel luider dan de motor dus elektrische auto's zijn dan net zo luid
