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'.

So much of the UK rail network was taken out of use. It could have been so much better than now

NYC to Miami is 19 hrs of straight driving, train is 25 hrs and jets are 3 hrs... Even if HSR was put in it would be 14- 16 hrs... I do agree that rail, especially high speed should be put in across the US but federal money would need to be put in to support ticket costs like is done in most of Europe

Welcome to Hong Kong 😁

I tried to catch the train the other day. They went on strike. My fully electric car powered by ecoelectricity didn't have enough range to do the journey (you can't trust service station chargers to work or be free) so I ended up taking my husband's diesel car. I did try...

And yet, public transport is abundant in large cities. Cities are built around cars by default because real adults don't want to and can afford not to be shackled to public transport's unhygienic people, contagiousness, lack of consideration for others (food, drink, trash, excreta, fights), their pet or childs safety, imprecise delivery area, or because they are disabled, they could miss on-boarding, or they have very specific destinations to attend-to. After taking "the backseat" in slower public transport, repeatedly, and even by necessity, The Individual of The City is most relieved to liberation and successful with discrete transportation, be that motor vehicle, bicycle, or motorcycle.

Has anyone else noticed how bad traffic had become over the last 20 years? It's unreal. You can't drive 2 hours without coming to a stop because of a wreck. Trying to drive down an interstate between cities that is only 2 lanes, a slow lane and a passing lane is a nightmare of stop and go. Or, the fast lane will have a line of cars bumper to bumper for miles ahead and behind. In another 10 years it will just be gridlock from Miami to Maine and a steaming pile of burnt cars from San Diego to Seattle. Something has to give if everyone wants trucks to deliver food!

We want mag lev rail for all!

Might work in Europe but the US is way too big and spread out for this to be feasible. Having a railway between cities that aren't too far apart would be nice though.

Gotta make something cooler for americans to get behind it.

Hear, hear!

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.

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.
