You're right, for example you have to pay to use Kanmon Tunnel

flixbus exist, which i don’t even understand how they have ridership when they run routes parallel to railways that take like twice as long while obviously being less comfortable…

Would you mind explaining more? How's Flixbus?

Noted, didn't realize Ray was on Mastodon too

Yeah, EV batteries and very narrow tunnel (so narrow you can't open the car door apparently) is a bad combination

Noted, I intentionally didn't limit it to English, it would be good to see non-English speaking part of fediverse after all

Ahh found one. Adding it to the list.

Yeah, should have rephrased that. AFAIK Elon is a South African, not even US citizen right?

I'm not even from USA to be clear, but my limited image of USA is that it lacks efforts of building public transport, especially compared to other developed countries. Heck, compared to developing countries even.

One of the example, US seems like a perfect place to build a high-speed rail network. Yet, CAHSR seems to keep getting delayed. In comparison Morocco has a HSR. Even Indonesia has one opened last year.

I notice that communities in this instance prefers to post links. Wouldn't it be nice if we post more discussion/question types of post?

I’m on the Sublinks Matrix, the project has come to a halt.

That's sad :( any specific reason why?

Mbin so far looks promising to me

This moderator behavior here is exactly what you'd see on reddit lol
