Bay Area Rapid Transit, otherwise known as MuBARTek. only goes to the easy bay because the North Bay NIMBYs didn't want successful african americans in their posh neighborhoods, nor did silicon valley. On the bright side it's one of the quietest train systems in the US compared to NYC and Chicago.

My work truck is my commute.

2012 Freightliner Cascadia. I hate it, I miss my old Volvo VN780.

thats just cause NYC & and the El have to use legacy infrastructure
>NIMBYs
this is why the county system does not work
one neighbourhood of holdouts can fuck an entire city and state
it should be in the hands of the state legislature

>>322876
what country do you truck in?
what would you think of rolling highways?

Melbournes trains and trams, too many models to post

The MBTA in Boston
Fucking hate it

class 156
Northern service.
Liverpool Lime St - Manchester Airport (Semi-fast service)
Wavertree Technology Park - St Helens Junction - Newton Le Willows - Manchester Oxford Road - Manchester Piccadilly - Manchester Airport

>>322882
Yep

>>322873

Are you fucking stupid? The entire Bay Area pays for BART but not all regions get it. The South Bay wants it but funding has always been an issue.

Besides, BART is proprietary and wasteful spending, the wrong mode of transportation that would do what Caltrain and the Capitol Corridor but worse.

God I hate Northern Rail, but;
Clitheroe to Manchester Victoria with NR, change at Bolton,
Bolton to Deansgate with glorious Transpennine Express on a Class 185,
Cycle four miles through the plush Deansgate area of Manchester

Not realy a commute but an adventure.
Will it come or will it not ? Will it kill me or wont it ?

The USA. No opinion on them.

30 years old UIC-Y coaches made in DDR
uncomfortable
but at least the engine is quite good, although a bit old
and the view from the window is always fantastic

Man, I love the Czech railways. So damn cheap compared to the German railways and a great way to travel the country.

This guy right here or it's slightly older brothers. Rarely full, decent time tables, fairly decent time (though I have to go through all the downtown stops, which takes a majority of the trip.

Don't think I'm a railfag though. I love the MAX/Trimet, but I hate the lightrail. It is just an expensive fucking bus. They should have just bought more buses.

CityElephant is a double deck electric multiple unit operated in the Czech Republic.They are used for suburban traffic near Prague.

This beast, only I take the S6 and then either the S2 or S12

I commute in a Ford Focus, but when I get to work I use one of these.

Anyone else have to bear the shit that is Northern Rail? This is a promotional quote from their website:

"Northern Rail — Oldest trains in Britain. That's because the Southerners want to keep the north in the past, where they belong. Serves Cumbria , the North East , Yorkshire and Lanacasheeerre. Wannabe Northerners in Derbyshire and Lincolnshire also benefit from this exquisite service. They think that Leeds is the spiritual and physical centre of the universe. Therefore, Amazingly, ,passengers customers people who give us money travelling from Leeds to elsewhere go from bad to worse. Lancastershire has a massive network that covers every square millimetre. The lucky bastards. The network also serves Liverpool Lime Street, where Scousers ride the trains to Wigan North Western as a daily purgatory, and then return to 'the pewl', to get ridiculously drunk and engage in fights with Mancunians who are still waiting for their delayed trains back to Manc-land."

The Picture depicts the station at which I get off, fortunately the building at the bottom right is a pub called The Knott; it eases my troubles.

BART's East Coast Cousin, WMATA. Have you all hit mid-life crises yet?

>>323030
lol

But yes, Northern has the highest concentration of crap trains in the country. I stay in Scotland now, but when I was at University in Liverpool, I went to visit my Grandad in Wakefield and had to suffer a Pacer for the entire journey. Not pleasant. I believe there are plans to electrify Liverpool-Manchester, which is long overdue. They really need electrify all the lines around Leeds/Bradford/Wakefield, as well as Carlisle-Newcastle, Carlisle-Settle and... just fucking everything, just so we can get rid of the Pacers.

1970 built type MXA trains (by LEW "Hans Beimler", Hennigsdorf)

Yeah, they are ancient, a slow (Vmax=70 km/h), but I like them. They are comfortable, at least.

fuck all that noise, i skate to work for free

Israel Railways, 20 minute ride into Tel Aviv. And of course I only take one of these. Brand new, custom built by Siemens for the railway, and seriously the most comfortable train ride you will ever fucking take. I find it easier to fall asleep on one than I do in my bed.

>>323069
I think the idea is that if they use the Pacers as much as possible, and go light on the maintenance, they can be rid of them sooner when they all start failing.

>>323071
I think sitting in an MXA is a bit uncomfortable because of the seats (my legs are often between the person's legs who is sitting in front of me, but it's ok when it's a young pretty girl), so I'm often standing while I'm travelling by HÉV.

>>323071
Yeah, I forgot to mention it: there is an Ikarus 280.17 next to the train.

>>323078

Is it just really comfortable seating, or are the vibrations from the train just right?

On an unrelated note, I really wish my city didn't discontinue it's railroad. The closest one is about 20-25 miles away, which isn't HORRIBLE, but I'd still like it closer.

>>323096

The seating isn't impressive, pic related. Rather big I'll admit but the same upholstery as a typical bus, and no compartments. The trick is in the vibrations, or more correctly, the lack thereof, as well as the lack of noise. If you're not looking out the window you won't even realize the train has started moving (yes, it has actually happened to me once). And noise? Only a steady, barely audible tack-tack-tack fading somewhere into your dreams...

Still, it's bad, it grows on you. I visited Italy a while back and took the train into Rome, saw huge ass seats and actual compartments and went ZOMG AWESOME. Then the train started moving, and it was rocking around so violently I nearly reached for the emergency break. Then I looked around and saw no one was even noticing it...

>>323098
i dont like those seats
the headrest seems realy uncomfortable

>>323098
>>323114
At least you don't have the incredible cement seats in the amazing 3-2 distribution.

It's a shame, because Renfe's double decker trains could be fuckwin if it weren't for that little detail...

>>323142
I'd like to meet the guy who came up with the 3+2 idea. That way, I can stab the fucker in the eye on behalf of everyone that's ever had to put up with that shit.
