View of Europaallee in direction downtown Frankfurt from the Emser Bridge. You can see the tunnel ramp of the extension of metro line U5 that will leave the tunnel here and continiue as a light rail on the median of the road.

Oude RET sneltram metro (SG2 type T) bij de spoorwegovergang en station Prinsenlaan in Rotterdam op 22 mei 2015. Op de laatste dag in dienst gefilmd. Op de achtergrond een SG2/1 (met en zonder R-net) richting Oosterflank en Ommoord. De oude Rotterdamse metro's gingen eind 2015 definitief uit dienst toen HSG3 5701 instroomde in oktober (sinds 30 januari 2016 tegelijk met de 5702 in dienst). Laat voor meer info een reactie achter!

If you're ever in Sac and take light rail down the R Street corridor, wave at us! This is our row of second-floor windows at the Sacramento Bee.

my biggest soapbox is that somebody HAS to get lightrail to bucaramanga, santander, colombia like

- that city is ridiculously well set up for it, there's a perfect street to put it in right in the middle

- no place in the city would be more than a 30 minute walk from the lightrail

- EVERYONE would ride it. culturally speaking they would embrace it immediately. most people already ride motorcycles to save on gas, this is the logical next step

- THE CITY IS SO DENSE that its absolutely insane they don't have functional public transit. like think roughly halfway between the density of san francisco and brooklyn, but a bit closer to the brooklyn side.

- again, their current public transit is absolutely unusable and also actively making quality of life worse. their few, overpriced busses are literally from the 80s and spew black smoke everywhere. if you walk on any busy street the air quality is pretty bad and it's mostly because of the busses (again, people there mostly prefer fuel efficient vehicles that don't cause much air pollution)

- it would be much less expensive than putting light rail in many other cities, as mentioned before only one line would be needed and since it's such a dense, geographically small city it wouldn't even be a particularly long line. materials and manpower would also be much cheaper than building it in a country with a higher cost of living.

THIS WOULD COMPLETELY REVOLUTIONIZE THE CITY.

i firmly believe that just adding lightrail would dramatically improve the quality of life of every single person in the city. most people would ride it, their commutes would be faster and much less of their income would be spent on transportation. the few people that didn't switch would have MUCH faster commutes as almost all traffic would be eliminated. the pedestrian experience would be better both due to less cars and motos and the elimination or near-elimination of the highly air polluting busses. it would also cause less pollution - not that eliminating c02 emissions should be put primarily on third world countries that already emit much less on average than countries like the US but this would be a much easier switch than any other city I've visited and would create a bigger difference since adding this sort of infrastructure to most cities in the US would not encourage nearly as high of a percentage of people to switch due to our absolutely batshit car culture here (US i mean). also

THERE'S LITERALLY NO DRAWBACKS EVERY SINGLE PERSON WOULD LOVE IT AND IT WOULD MAKE EVERYONE'S LIVES BETTER.

so yeah if you're reading this and you have like around 2 billion dollars* to spare this is my recommendation for something that would make a HUGE difference that nobody's even bothering to consider

*calculated at 100 million dollars per mile (US number so it would most likely actually be far far less) for the 15 miles from the northern end of Bucaramanga to central Piedecuesta, a suburb and home to Universidad Industrial de Santander. an additional 2-6 mile line connecting Bucaramanga to the neighboring town of Girón would also be absolutely amazing.

The Honorable Citizen Fare

While visiting Portland Oregon I always use the TriMet light rail to get around. It’s quick, clean and affordable and offers a Honorable Citizen fare for Senior Citizens. Beaverton Station-Portland Oregon Washington Park Station-Portland Oregon Zoo Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day 🙂 Alice Cees Which Way Challenge

as a disabled person in minneapolis who relies on public transit to get around, I can always rely on Jacob Frey and the downtown council prioritizing hypothetical tourists over my ability to access places in my own city and do basic things like getting to medical appointments
