You're viewing part of a thread.
@Tak @FireRetardant Yes, when a bus route will result in a larger vehicle with 1 occupant they are bad.
That is a very small % of passenger mileage.
Ideally busses shouldn't even be used in situations like that as rail is significantly more efficient but a train wouldn't want to slow for one passenger either.
@Tak Or build stations and tracks where so few people will use them.
Building more tracks for everything would be good, but still not an answer for everything.
A world where we only had trains and push bikes would be nice, but not likely to happen.
@LovesTha @Tak
People act like you need a huge population to have rail, but #Germany moves people around smaller towns just fine by rail.#PublicTransit #PublicTransportation #FuckCars #WarOnCars #urbanism #de
@figstick @Tak you probably need a density of more than 1 person per square km. That is where most people live. It is great for most people. Maybe even nearly everyone.
But for the last 0.1% something else is needed.
But even then it might be better to have personal rail vehicles on private tracks (the same tracks the farm should be using for it's produce.
