Interesting read. Kind of incredible to me that there are several government backed schemes that seem little more than a way for landlords to legitimise their work. It looks like they take hundreds of pounds and do no actual checks. Its just a money printing scheme for massive American companies.
If you like him, do you like the policys of the party? If you like both why not vote for them?
It’s always surprising to me how people expect roads to be so well gritted and cleared but nobody expects the same of paths and bike lanes. The snow is even dumped onto the paths and bike lanes the majority of the time.
Maybe she had a visit from some ghosts?
If your are very lucky, you can find one by the side of the road in Australia.
I less care about the effect on the body (idk if its good or bad) and more care about shitting out micro-plastics.
I swear every Labour scandal he is involved somehow. Yet he still keeps coming back, like a political boomerang.
Article doesn’t say
Correct me if im wrong but aren’t all the possible prison sentences for people supporting Palestine action less than 1 year. Will they be eliminated or extended so everyone gets at least a year for holding a card?
Then build trams, bike lanes and bus lanes in el alto and la paz. Just because its not possible one place In the city, doesn’t mean they can’t be done in other parts.
E-bikes are a great way to get around hilly cities.
The cable cars leave long gaps between stations so some more local transit would be beneficial.
As for transport in Canada stick to the conventional methods, they are conventional methods because they work.
I was talking about public transit for Toronto
The conversation has prompted me to have a tour on Google maps. First I explored round universidad pública de el alto. It’s surrounded bu 2 lane boulevards and a motorway. Lots of the roads looked pretty empty once you were away from the main roads. Though the street view is now 10 years old in that area. There is plenty of space for protected bike lanes on these roads.
I also looked as places in La Paz itself and while it is steeper it looks comparable to Lisbon, which has lots of trams and metros. On places where it is really to steep for conventional trams. Bus lanes or more specialised options like cable hauled or rack and pinion are used, but are rarer.
I do have to say, what a beautiful city. Overall, some roads may be too steep for trams however many are suitable. A road being busy isn’t a reason to not build. One tram can cary over 100 people, by getting people from cars into trams it reduces traffic, even if one lane is used for a dedicated bus and tram lane (which can also be used by police, fire and ambulance). This leaves the remaining lane for people who need to drive, rather than those who drive because they have no choice.
That’s still less than a bike lane and a the low end of a bus lane. If the space is avaliable for a cable car. An elevated metro (or Brussels style pre-metro) would be a better solution in my opinion.
If we take that assumption that is 20 people a minute, or 1200 people an hour. About as much as if everyone just drove in their cars.
They lack the capacity to be usefull unfortunately. A tram, bus lane, train/metro or bike lane would do the job better.
Do you have a link, not that I don’t believe you, but I like to check before I tell other people
Trains can have multiple stops, a possible route would be via Brussels, Rotterdam, Amsterdam and Hamburg. It would have plenty of demand. Berlin itself is one of the hub stations of Europe. You can get a train to almost every European country from there.
Don’t threaten me with a good time
Here is the view from near Aberdeen yesterday. My throat is still quite sore from the smoke.
