The future where people can "live and let live"? Yeah sounds dangerous /s

Also a lot harder to crash a train into a skyscraper. Just sayin'.

What an amazing transformation. I wish there was a magic genie that could go throughout the world and make changes like this.

FYI, andrew tates was sentenced for human traffic and others happy things..

Until teleportation is invented, high speed rail should rule.

Apart from that, more green in the city centers has been proven to reduce summer temperatures significantly, thus reducing the effect of heatwaves. There is a reason why more and more european cities experiment with green streets, superblock zones and roof gardens.

Probably either Mäkelänkatu or Hämeentie (streets in Helsinki Finland)

Yay Finland! 💪🇫🇮🌲 This pic is from Helsinki.

This looks like the tram lines in Amsterdam, taking people from the more residential areas into the city centre. It's fantastic. It move so many people, and at a fraction of the pollution caused by cars. It's also a fraction of the noise cars make, and it's faster than cars too. The trams don't get caught up in traffic.

As long as the people who drive and operate trains keep their jobs

THIS is how you do it. Make public transport efficient, fast, reliable and cheep, and see cars start to rapidly disappear. It's not that many people prefer cars by default, it's just that they prefer them at least for the fact that they don't have to be stuffed along with other people in one place, in sometimes horrendous physical conditions like no ventilation, no comfort whatsoever etc.

Trams get grass but the children's park doesn't.... Cum on...

When I was coming home from my last trip, I saw that my city started to renovate some tram tracks by laying grass carpets!

It looks so pretty

looks like the streetcar tracks in NOLA

And on public transport ppl can play on their phones and not kill anyone

Looks like the Netherlands to me, anyone know where this is?

It's crazy for how long it has been known that adding lanes just doesn't work and yet most city planners/councils seemingly never got the memo.

From pretty much the rest of the globe…we’re sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers… xx

It will cost £414($535) for a return from cardiff to birmingham for 4 people. That's 100 miles(2 hr by car) each way or Allentown to New York round trip. The train is a luxury in the UK

Brilliant idea!

Swiss trains are amazing as well

That is insane.

I wan that green pea!

In Japan you can only buy a car if you have a private parking space

I wonder how many grannys and grandpas have broken their legs trying to get out of those "cars". They look like you need a ladder to get in!

Where... tell me where... 🤯🥺

Elon Musk is a muppet.

I always thought this was done for safety sake so the families knew everyone who was giving their kids candy and it was a controlled environment. Which is also sad.

My partner looked at it and shouted "dream house!" 😫 No I do not agree, unless the garage is a cat room

Unfortunately that really is a huge safety problem. In an extra high SUV your viewing angle is so skewed you have virtually no chance to see anything smaller than an adult. Also it makes you drive more in the middle of the road instead of on the side, because you are unable to see the curb otherwise. SUVs are a traffic nightmare.

"exceptional" I don't know. "Special", in a air-quote sense of the word, on the other hand...

bill was already shelved, and it was for people reporting any parking violation. Civil Liberties groups like the ACLU fought against it

The poicture reminds me of the sad story of what was known as the "loneliest tree" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_of_T%C3%A9n%C3%A9r%C3%A9) . It was a single tree standing in the middle of a huge desert, hundreds of miles away even from the next road. What happend to it? Yes, you guess right: it was hit by a car.

When is a mini not a mini ?

Every time I see this, it blows my mind. But I thought it was just like one major place where this happens and something something that I read. But even so. It’s still massive cars. And now I wonder if it’s AI. I hate having to always wonder that now.

Wow. What is the center green patch? Surely it’s taking up too much space!

Well that clinches it, I'll just take my helicopter.
