[–] jtrek@startrek.website 8 points 1 month ago (1 child) That's not a general problem with trains that proves they suck. The suck is places have been built out for cars with other modes as after thoughts. I live somewhere with much better train and bus coverage, and it makes it easier than driving for the vast majority of trips. The day to day suffering is because of cars. So fuck cars. Fuck the culture that made them primary. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Eyekaytee@aussie.zone 1 point 1 month ago I mean if you are only going around the city sure but even in not just bikes favourite country the limitations are obvious With a total road network of 139,000 km, including 3,530 km of expressways,[2] the Netherlands has one of the densest road networks in the world; much denser than Germany and France, though not as dense as Belgium.[3] On the roads it has grown continuously since the 1950s and now exceeds 200 billion km travelled per year,[8] three quarters of which are done by car.[9] Around half of all trips in the Netherlands are made by car, 25% by bicycle, 20% walking, and 5% by public transport.[9] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_in_the_Netherlands But that’s a tiny country country that is extremely flat As soon as you get out into a real world the problems are obvious Is A High-Speed Rail Possible In Australia? | Utopia https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8av3knflbQo permalink fedilink source parent
