It’s a crosspost. I didn’t write the post

I gotchu. I changed the link to an archived one, it’s all good now

The prefictability is really a flaw. Busses can go anywhere with a road. Much more flexible.

I beg to differ. A pedestrian or a cyclist is much more likely to be hit by a bus because buses can go and turn anywhere. Flexibility is an asset outside of cities and high-density areas, but in an urban area public transit on rails is far superior.

Take your liberal propaganda and stuff it

Your reaction is perfectly valid. Come, join us at fuckcars

It won’t get stuck in car traffic, for one, and it’s reversible so its operational footprint is smaller than that of a bus network. Also predictable because it’s on rails so people outside the tram know exactly where it’s going. Also lower operational and maintenance costs because less wear and smoother ride

F-150 SuperCrew with an 8-foot bed is 244 inches long, just over 20 feet. But that’s a truck with an 8-foot bed, it might actually do something useful sometimes. This is a three-row pavement princess SUV.

Expect a lot of dinged doors and door dinging.

…which will then lead to wider parking spaces and even more space stolen from pedestrians and cyclists.

With how cops are, it’s tantamount to the same thing – it’s tacit approval for them to straight up murder protesters regardless of provocation. They can always make that shit up later and get off without consequences.

And I’m sure no one is ever going to misuse that and claim the protester calmly standing in front of the car was “threatening them!!!1!!!1”

As a car enthusiast I’m incredibly conflicted because muscle cars are cool – but I can’t for the life of me tell you why. They’re loud, heavy, inefficient, and much clumsier and slower than other sports cars (which is why I prefer sports cars anyway). They have incredible amounts of power but they can’t even use it properly except on a prepped drag surface, maybe.

You’re right, they really are dumb as fuck.

None of those things automatically give you the right to murder someone. Due process exists for a reason.

The vehicle, which had its blue lights on, was trapped on Waterloo Bridge on Wednesday morning due to congestion caused by Just Stop Oil, Met Police said. Pictures and footage from the scene shared on social media show queues of traffic in both directions on the busy bridge.

The climate campaigners have hit back at the force’s handling of the incident and claimed it was the Met police blocking the ambulance so they could “blame it on a protest march going in the other direction”.

The protesters weren’t the one blocking the ambulance. The cars were, and the cops didn’t do anything to alleviate that so the ambulance could get through the cars and to the protesters who would’ve let it through anyway.

You should read the entire article when you try to do a gotcha.

Or are we going by skin colour?

Considering ICE recently detained a US Marshal “by mistake”, I think that’s right on the money

Sarcasm.

And protesters always swiftly move to let emergency vehicles through, because they know not to block actually useful vehicles like ambulances and fire engines

I figured that was happening, which is why I updated the title to explicitly state it’s a Critical Mass event

China does have a superb high-speed rail network, you gotta give them that
