Even bigger trucks?

Terrible man has terrible plan. More at eleven

The video captured by Cruise showed that the ambulance parked behind the Cruise and did not attempt to pass the robotaxi in the rightmost unblocked lane.

If there is a lane open, and the ambulance waits behind a parked car for 90 seconds instead of going around in the open lane, is that really the parked car’s fault?

I know blaming the self-driving car is a fun headline, but maybe focus on the vehicle that struck and killed a pedestrian, rather than the one that wasn’t moving

Because there’s a market for companies to sell bullshit like this. Cities are looking for solutions to make it look like they’re doing something, without actually taking any space from cars.

Being visible and weird is the point. Doing something isn’t. They’re selling a service of providing the appearance of “innovation” to municipal streets departments.

The big benefit of light rail is you can make trains longer than buses, and fit more people. So if your system has outgrown buses, then you should move to rail.

But transit systems should always be trying to maximize frequency, because the more frequently a train or bus comes, the more convenient it is for riders. So if a bus fits 30 people and a train fits 90 and you’re trying to make a decision between providing a bus service every 10 minutes or a train service every 30 minutes, the bus service is the better option.

Different modes work best for different passenger demands, and you should use the right one for the number of passengers you’ve got. Overbuilding is expensive, and if you spend too much building out a network and the don’t have enough for operating expenses then you’ve got to reduce service levels.

It’s important for a movement to have both practical, achievable goals and aspirational ones. There’s plenty of room for content from people showing us how good it can be, without really caring about how we get there.

That’s Not Just Bikes niche, and he does a good job at it.

I was under the impression that the tube is consistently pretty damn close to maximum capacity at peak times. Is that wrong?

A lot of places do physical barriers that only open for buses.

I read this as “Birmingham made a shortcut that only rich drivers can use”

i checked out three or four instances and this one seemed to have the least amount of bullshit to deal with
