    And the trains. Last time any expansion of this occured was in 1930. And it shows.
    Aside from increasing density along the established corridors, a train going North-East from Victoria Park Station would be in order (covering the same North-East I mentioned for the trams); a second from Huntingdale Station to Ferntree Gully Station should also be in order.
    But unfortunately since the late 1960s every Victorian government has been beholden to the automotive and development lobbies. The current is particularly extreme with intentions to expand suburban sprawl all the way out to the You Yangs

    take my city, Melbourne for example: >>106707 if I wanted to get from say Belgrave, Lilydale, Hurstbridge, etc to the City centre or the other side or somewhere pretty far away along the route then a light rail vehicle even if it were operating in its own dedicated right of way would be a very bad choice for such a journey- the distance passenger comfort number of passegers and so on, thats why trains are operated
    if however I wanted to get around the city and inner urban area then the vehicle would be a tram or light rail vehicle as seen here: >>106704

    HEY MELBOURNE, HOW ABOUT YOU INVEST IN SOME TRAINS THAT DON'T BREAK DOWN WHEN IT RAINS FOR ONE OF THE WETTEST CITIES IN AUSTRALIA? Also trams are a bad idea if they just run along the train lines for the most part.

    no no no, the Comegs break down when temperatures exceed 35 degrees celcius - their air conditioning was built in the 1970s and has never been upgraded.
    While the Siemens have perpetually faulty breaks, sometimes rain is blamed and sometimes soot from bushfires is blamed, which requires speed restrictions and limiting it to three carriage service to ensure they do not overshoot stations and can stop in time if there is an emergency or accident.
    Even when they've been temporarily repaired the noise and smell of a six carriage set pulling into a station is overwhelming.
    >Also trams are a bad idea if they just run along the train lines for the most part.
    I find getting off at Box Hill and then catching the 109 to the Balwyn Cinema to far more enjoyable than having to get off at some further station and then having to walk all around a bunch of suburban streets for 30+ minutes. Also see the South East of the map which has the best coverage, cant do that with a train

    oh yes. and to think seattle could have had the federal government pay for a much larger system with an 8th of the price it is now back when labor and construction costs were dirt cheap. but of course conservatives held firm reigns on seattle politics until 2008.

    so now we gotta play catchup with portland, a smaller city than seattle.

    Wow, I'm shocked to hear ANYONE talk positively about what Atlanta's done because we could and should have done so much more if the outer counties hadn't been filled with rednecks who blocked everyone from building a decent system. We could have built a great commuter rail system on top of what we had intown, but Gwinnett, Cobb, and Claytn counties would rather pay MARTA tax and still keep the system out than have access between inner-city Atlanta and the "white" suburbs.

    We used to have trams once, but with many lines you can't argue that their removal was unjustified, they were replaced with subway lines that follow the tram lines precisely, only the one line that ran east-west in the south was not. An east-west line in the south is in dire need.

    GWAAAHAHAHAHAHA. Good one.
    Because of the lack of funds they recently replaced a planned subway line with something else, get this: A "high-speed" bus line, with it's own ROW, elevated Stations, and (this is the best part) FUCKEN DIESEL BUSES. Yeha, more buses. Not trolleybuses, not a tram, both of which can accelerate faster, look more modern and are cheaper to operate, no, DIESEL BUSES. The line runs along an important avenue, average speed 20kmh. The traffic lights don't even change to give those buses a green light, you see them standing there waiting for the green light. Fail planning is fail.
    We DO have one light-rail line, it was built as a replacement for the last tram line which ran until 1984, it was all double tracked and ROW, but it was still using the 30-something year old PCCs (Yeah, we had PCCs, we even had the only ever newly-bought PCC outside of the US, bought in 1947 =) ) so they modernized the line and put a light rail there, actually quite decent.
    But I seriously doubt trams will ever be built again, city officials would rather spend huge amounts of cash in paving new roads with concrete for these "high-speed" bus lines, it was supposed to hold for like 10 years, they had to start repairing it after MONTHS. Yeah, really economical guys, buses with a 5 year life span, a road with about the same, ever-rising fuel costs... Definitely better than a tram line.

    I told you, nothing like that is gonna happen. There was a plan, but it was completely scrapped, the problem was that in the center city it's prohibited to put up wires, and the technology for a tram without overhead wires is too expensive. I don't know why they don't just build a conduit system, but what ever, it would have been a useless waste of money anyway.
    Clear enough for you?

    For reference, that network is regional, not metro. Cross-City (red) is 35 miles end-to-end. Chase line (blue) is 45 miles from Stafford to International. Northampton is 50 miles from New Street. Snow Hill route (green) is 67 miles from Malvern to Stratford.

    From New Street: Walsall 10mi, Wolverhampton 12mi, Redditch 15mi, Coventry 18mi, Lichfield 20mi, Rugeley 25mi, Leamington 28mi, Rugby 30mi, Northampton 50mi

    From Snow Hill: Kidderminster 18mi, Leamington 23mi, Stratford 25mi, Worcester (SH) 33mi, Malvern 42mi

    For comparison: the epically-long journey on London Underground is the Metropolitan Line Aldgate-Amersham - 28 miles.

    What he said... I think.

    Our rail network is a bit shit really. Other than the main stations (New Street and Moor Street/Snow Hill), there isn't anything in the city centre, it's just a suburban network (and a fairly limited one at that).

    We've got a decent bus system though, even if it is quite expensive. Luckily I've got a train station at the bottom of my street, so it's only £1.25 return to Birmingham - on the bus it would be £3.30.

    From wiki:

    >>From 1927 to 1957, Rochester had a light rail underground transit system called the Rochester Subway. It was the smallest city in the world to have one. There are proposals to put in a new system, possibly using some of the old tunnels. One includes converting the Broad Street bridge tunnel—the former canal aqueduct—into an underground pedestrian walkway, which would also include a Rochester Transportation Museum, and a tram system.

    You are a moron.

    Most of them were built by JR. JR was until recently a government entity. The private railways were able to build their lines because of government land grants. Half of the Tokyo subways were built and are operated by a city governmental agency. Without heavy governmental involvement Japan's rail network would be nowhere near as good as it is today.

    Why shut down possibilities because "socialism" sucks.

    That depends entirely on how you define socialism. Certainly there have been failed socialist states, but the argument becomes ridiculous when you begin equating limited public services with socialism.

    The word "socialism" in America has become, in the eyes of those who use it, an axiomatic way to end an argument. It's as though by asserting that something is socialist, and thus inherently evil, there is no further need to justify one's position.

    This does not work because socialism is a very ill-defined concept with respect to how it is normally used. One can make the argument that based on the historical evidence totalitarian socialist dictatorships do not work, and thus a totalitarian socialist dictatorship is an undesirable form of government. One could also conceivably make the argument that because some publicly funded programs have failed, publicly funded programs are generally undesirable. However the argument that all publicly funded programs are bad because totalitarian socialist dictatorships are bad is a misappropriation of logic. When people play that game with socialism, they are using the same word to describe two vastly different things, which obscures the real issues and serves only to inflame tempers by appeal to emotion.

    It's a pretty common thing - when people in white towns/suburbs say they don't want a rail service because of fears of crime, it's usually because black people use that system. It seems that those people assume black people=criminals.

    The Baltimore light rail system has a gap of about 6 miles with no stations right through one of the city's very white neighborhoods, and people there have fought against a station - because most of the users of the light rail are black.

    A lot of the white people in Westminster, MD object to a rail link into Baltimore for the same reason.

    And as soon as you get out to the mainly white suburbs of Washington, DC; past Rockville to Gaithersburg and Germantown, the metro system ends, despite the fact only another ten miles or so would allow it to cover right up to the end of the built up area around the city. Rail service out beyond there is by commuter rail trains, which enter Washington via mainly white suburbs like Kensington, and come from mainly white rural areas.

    The suburban middle classes have ways of keeping segregation alive.

    You can hardly blame them. It is usually a bad sign, if a neighborhood is frequented by many black people. They aren't the cause for negative effects, but an indicator and thus an enforcing factor themselves.
    It is like when a lake dies from algae. Algae aren't bad, but too many of them kill the eco-system, and they mostly multiply when there is also something else wrong. It's the same for black people and the social structure.

    Isn't this the coffee-mug stain myth one? That's why the ring line is always printed in brown?

    Hardly, since I've been there by train, but for whatever reason I can never remember passing/stopping in Bielefeld Hbf.
    It is as if I was put to sleep every time.

    This is like the wierdest thread I've seen on 4chan so far during the 4 years I've been lurking here.

    Granted, I've only been lurking on /d/, /s/ and /b/, but still

    What? The yellow line is being redirected over the new rails? I suppose that makes sense as it would be good to spread out the light rail traffic.

    Putting the Yellow Line on the Transit Mall? I think that was the intention from the beginning. Tri-Met just had to wait for the MAX lines to be built on the Mall for the Green Line; until then, they ran on Morrison and Yamhill like every other train.
