Catching up on some older #NotJustBikes videos... This one was thoroughly depressing. Pleasant that I live in a place where public transport is pretty good, but depressing to see... well, the power of conservatism, I suppose. The whole #fediverse vs #BigTech is just another example of this.

@Elizafox @notjustbikes OFC dedicaded routes are better and the only good excuse for #Trams is when you want to cover high volumes of commuters in a dense urban area with dedicaded lanes but can't demolish roads and install big stations but need to provide more capacity than you can serve with all the buses you have.
And whilst I'd love to see the "Line O" linking Opladen with Deutz, everyone can agree that for those that need to take that trip end-to-end the RB48 & RE7 are superior alternatives in service and those that need to get on or off at one of the places that line stopped the Bus Line 250 will be sufficient.
Seriously, the #FinchWestLRT in #Toronto looks like if someone played #CitiesSkylines in real life and merely chose to "convert road" with the one 6-lane #Stroad design that has #Trams on then as soon as they unlock Trams...
For real...

Ever wondered how the South #London #Trams and DLR branding evolved? I’ve mapped out their visual journey from the early days of "Docklands" and "Tramlink" to the modern unified #TfL roundels we see today.
Which era of the design is your favourite? 🚈🚃
On the tram home today we met some Polish visitors travelling with their Aussie grandson. They didn't speak much English, but we had a brief chat and I said "Do widzenia" on the way out at our stop. Nice to have these brief exchanges on PT sometimes, spread a little friendliness.
I do like it when a tram trundles by (I'm sitting in a Brunswick Street cafe). The world is disastrous in many ways but trams exist, so we must be doing something right.
