with DC under the federal government, they could try using that as a 'demonstrator city' for rolling out the expansion of existing and building new public transportation systems
rapid transit, commuter train, streetcar/lightrail.

>>163675
Well for the District, just around the Federal buildings, the only improvement necessary would be streetcars/lighter-rail/trams. Other parts of the District need MetroRail access before anything else, but NW isn't going to want any easier access to that section by the people in SE.

>>163719
VAfag here
the metro kinda sucks in northern va. It basically goes less than 10 minutes outside the city by car. Needs to be expanded about 10-15 more miles out.

>>163721
Protip: VRE.

Oahu, Hawaii.

Atlanta has byfar the WORST public transit system. It has barely been expanded since the 1970s and its going bankrupt and raising fares. Its also unreliable, slow, full of nigger ghetto types... They need to expand farther north because the population is shifting to the northern suburbs.

>>163738
what about Houston? Billions of dollars on freeways, and a single 12km lightrail.
>They need to expand farther north because the population is shifting to the northern suburbs.
Yes lets encourage suburban sprawl.

>>163738
>>163743
lolno. The whole reason it has never penetrated Cobb or Gwinnett counties is to make access difficult for people between I-20 and the airport to get to those counties (as well as North Fulton which really should be Milton county, but that is another thread)

>>163527
Didn't MTA abandon plans for the Crenshaw station?

>>163743
If anything that would only encourage intensification of existing low-density sprawl.

Did I forget to call the moderators Wankstains.

Moderators you are a bunch of wankstains

>>163758
Gwinett and Cobb counties voted against allowing Marta Rails back in the 1970s because they were worried about the kind of people it would draw to their areas and they didn't want to have to pay an extra sales tax to support it.

>>163830
No shit sherlock. That is exactly what I posted.

>>163830
what sort of people, train riders?

>Atlanta began as a railroad town and it still serves as a major rail junction, with several freight lines belonging to Norfolk Southern and CSX intersecting below street level in downtown. It is the home of major classification yards for both railroads, Inman Yard on the NS and Tilford Yard on the CSX. Long-distance passenger service is provided by Amtrak's Crescent train, which connects Atlanta with many cities between New Orleans and New York. The Amtrak station is located several miles north of downtown — and it lacks a connection to the MARTA rail system. An ambitious, long-standing proposal would create a Multi-Modal Passenger Terminal downtown, adjacent to Philips Arena and the Five Points MARTA station, which would link, in a single facility, MARTA bus and rail, intercity bus services, proposed commuter rail services to other Georgia cities, and Amtrak.
Good Grief.
How the fuck are you people going to implement high speed rail when you can't even grasp the concept of an interchange.

>>163831
"they didn't want to have to pay an extra sales tax to support it." Lets not get all flustered over internet arguments.

>>163962
It had nothing to do with the sales tax and everything to do with keep people in south Atlanta in south Atlanta. Saying it's about the sales tax is convenient.

>>163839
Marta buses and other bus lines are already connected with every Marta station. Building a facility to do that would be a complete waste of money. Besides, who the fuck rides Amtrak? If they needed to get onto Marta, I'm sure they could take a bus or walk a few blocks to the arts center station

>>164019
>buses

>>163703
DC definitely needs at least a tram system. What I love is for the tram system to replace the heavily used Metrobus lines!

>>163724
VRE only operates Monday-Friday. If you want to travel on a Saturday, you're out of luck unless you're willing to pay for a Amtrak ticket.

>>164059

Already being built...

Second Ave Subway

Having a regional rail interchange with a metro/rapid-transit system and/or commuter train system allows for smother transition and ultimately expansion of more services for both because it becomes an easier and obvious option to use rail.
For example I can catch the commuter train from anywhere in Melbourne metropolitan area to the city, get off at Southern Cross Station and walk to another platform, and catch one of the VLine trains to the regional cities or to country Victoria or an interstate service. This is true most places.
And if you intend on high speed rail, you cant have the station in the middle of nowhere unsupported by the local rail system - makes getting to it and getting around once you arrive somewhat of a bother, you need to interchange.

This is how the 60's imagined Montreal's subway in the 80's.

We only have 4 lines now.

>>164087
what happened?

this is dated 2006. lets see if it actually gets done. need some el up in bucks

>>164108

gray lines run only like once an hour, except not rush hour (so like a real train), colored is the subway/el/light rail (in the west)

Nobody posted the beast that is Tokyo?

>>164114
that looks horribly inefficient

>>164108

R-5 represent!

>>164115
>that looks horribly inefficient

It is, I don't know anybody in Tokyo that uses the Toei-Metro on a regular basis.

>>164115
and that's just the subway, there's the entire surface rail network to go with it.

Dubai = so Simple!

>>163527

wow. they should just call the purple line extention and the crenshaw line the beatdown express 1 and 2. seriously, what the fuck?

>>163525
Vancouver has the greatest metro system ever.

>>164198

I hope San Francisco is cool one day...

Extension in Bielefeld

Maybe if we actually built what's on that map. Right now it's just mid tier, gets the job done but could be improved in numerous ways.

>>164300
Even with all that, how in the hell would that be "the best in the world"? Ever seen the metros of Madrid, Tokyo, Shanghai, Stockholm, New York, Barcelona, Hong Kong, etc, etc? Plenty of transit systems out there with much better coverage, service, capacity, price, design, and so on.

People in Vancouver certainly do love blindly boasting about their city, thats for sure...

>>164310

BEST PLACE ON EARTH MOTHERFUCKER!!!

Seriously though, its pretty embarrassing and alot of people here hate it.

>>164267
here's what the bielefeld map actually looks like

LIES! He is one of THEM!

H-1, H-2, and H-3 were all built with federal money, and the State of Hawaii receives maintenance funding for them from the FHWA.

Berlin up your ass.

holy shit, those are ancient.

When's the london map from?

>>164420
What? How can that be a future map, doesn't even have the U55.

>>164467

It's from 2003.

The oldest one I have is from 2001, still without the S-Bahn Westhafen-Gesundbrunnen

Here's how London will look when they finally get around to re-opening the East London Line

>>164490
I've never been to london. Are all of these tracks actually Underground?

>>164574
thats why they call it Underground

>>164574
>>164579
Its actually only a little over half the track that is underground.
