  • I'll allow it, architecture is urbanist-related. Mostly I'm grumpy that I'm typically the only one posting trains.

  • I think it's a shame when vernacular architecture is torn down, and the area looks very unique and walkable. At the same time, the buildings look old and worn down and sometimes preservation is very difficult.

  • The network news coverage of congestion pricing in NYC pisses me off to no end

  • This has been a revealing outlook into bourgeois media. My favorite is where they interviewed a guy who refused to walk for 15 minutes, take a bus or a train.

  • There are 4 cities in the U.S. with trolleybus networks: San Francisco, Seattle, Philadelphia... and Dayton, OH

  • Portland has never had a trolleybus system, but they do have an extensive streetcar and light rail network, both of which are called trolleys colloquially, so I can understand the confusion.

  • This is part of the reason why China is able to keep costs so low, they keep the construction workers they have and send them to work on another subway line.

  • Terrible right of way. Way too many transit agencies place their transit lines not based on where demand is highest or where transit will be most effective, but just where land is cheapest or where the transit agency already owns.

  • It's nuts to see double decker buses with only one door in use in urban service in the UK. Maggie "Milk Snatcher" Thatcher is responsible for the atrocious state of buses in the UK. If you want to get mad look at Sheffield before her bus privatization. Even the US is better- the bus services are public here and there is no capitalist middleman.

  • Another pet peeve of mine is a service that is branded incorrectly. A "frequent service" that only runs every 20 minutes. A surface tram being called a Stadtbahn with a U sign indicating rapid transit. A regional rail network that has trains every hour or worse with no central frequent section being called an S-Bahn.

  • If your transit system shuts down before the bars close you have a city that loves drunk driving

  • Buses can be great. My guess is that you are dealing with buses that are either horrendously underfunded (low frequency, poor quality seats, stuck in traffic constantly), or are running transit services that should have been a subway many years ago. Buses can play a great role (especially trolleybuses) in cities that can't build or shouldn't build metro everywhere. High quality buses running every 5-10 minutes to every station can turn a single metro line into a comprehensive transit network.
