I know you're not the same moderator they were talking about, but I just want to make you aware of this: https://ponder.cat/comment/1193264
Just found a really good video covering the example of what’s stopping USA to build transit projects (specifically in LA). He invited an expert suited for this topic and the points are coherent.
- US has been building highways too much, they forgot how to build proper transit
- Environmental issues being weaponized against building transits (while highways keeps getting built)
- Similarly “citizen voice” has also been weaponized, for example Ticket Master CEO try to stop subway project so that it doesn’t tunnel below his Bel Air neighborhood even though the tunnel dug very deep below surface that it won’t affect on top
Highly recommend watching this video.

The article links this: https://www.oliverwymanforum.com/mobility/urban-mobility-readiness-index.html
This year’s index has a new Technology Adoption sub-index, which assesses how prepared a city is to embrace technologies like artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles (AVs), and air taxis.
Looks like the study isn't really about public transport. I was surprised that San Fransisco got to the first place too. But, skimming through the article it looks like the study focuses on "technology adoption". San Francisco got the first place simply because it added robotaxi. NGL, that's dumb.
It's not that good of a study IMO
what's with billionaires trying to make cautionary tales real (Metaverse, etc)
also, to quote some user from Hacker News:
His company, like 9 out of 10 YC companies, is destined to fail. That is all the poetic justice you'll ever need.
I wanted something like Skyscrapercity forum but on Lemmy, or something similar to r/transit.
...
Also just wanna give Lemmy the last chance, if it turns out sucks, tbh I will leave. You already know how negative my impression of Lemmy
>AI
>looks inside
>underpaid workers from underdeveloped countries
Lemme know if you made one
I remember there was a tweet thread a while ago that compares "techbros" reinventing trains to a carcinization--a phenomenon where basically many animals eventually evolves into a crab-like organism.
This is a discussion thread right? I hope I am asking this in the right place
I am thinking about opening a community about public transport/transit here. My questions are:
- how do I promote it so it gets more audiences and it doesn't become empty?
- how do I find moderators for the community? due to many things it's possible that I am not always available moderating it
I'm thinking of adding "Question of the Week" type of thread to !publictransport@slrpnk.net
