@Alon here‘s a breakdown of the under construction cost increase of the U5 extension in Frankfurt https://www.stvv.frankfurt.de/download/M_55_2024.pdf if you are interested

Media literacy public service announcement: Al-Jazeera is Qatari state media; its reporting in English is okay on issues Qatar isn't directly involved in, but is basically Pravda on issues it is. Middle East Eye is Qatari state media for reporting that's so trash that even Al-Jazeera won't touch it - that's where Hamas massacre denialism comes from usually. These sources are to be believed to the same extent one believes Global Times, or Russia Today.

@Alon aljeezeras reporting on the grand ethiopian renaissance dam was pretty slanderous too and is widly refered to in other reports despite being wrong to the point of comical maliciousness (no egypt isn’t going to loose 30% of its agriculture on a hydropower dam that actually reduces evaporation losses for egypt)

I'm seeing so much criticism of German racism that makes it look as if it's entirely the fault of Jews or of Germany's special attention to the plight of Jews. On social media I've seen more complaints from people who are not Jewish about a tiny minority of Anti-Deutsch people than about normal center-right Aryan racism. All the complaints I see about police brutality against Arabs suddenly get a "this is because of German guilt" addendum as if police racism has anything to do with Jews.

@Alon antideutsche had an outsized impact on deutsche Feuilleton and uni departments where deutsche journos studied at but anything apart from that is just normal Ausländerhass

    @RM_Transit 1500 riders per mile for an urban transit system is honestly a bit pathetic (Phoenix Valley Metro pre-covid level of riders per mile). Manchester seems to share the Denver/Dallas/Portland fate where a lot of mileage doesn’t add any significant amount of ridership and the whole enthusiasm and momentum for expansion died down since 1990 to the 2000s when they all expanded at rapid pace. Choosing the wrong corridors/alignments can actually be harmful in the long run.

    @Alon @RM_Transit copenhagen is also overrated bigger than Stockholm, yet a fraction of the transit ridership a modal shift towards cars from 2005 to 2019. Oslo on the other hand one of the few cities that shifted from cars to transit by like 10pp solely based on restrictions

    @RM_Transit https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schienenfreie_Innenstadt this article gives a good background about the “tram wars” in the 80s and this page is a great resource about the history https://www.tramfan-ffm.de/gleisplaene.htm complete network overview from 1950 to 2015 https://www.tramfan-ffm.de/netzplaene2.htm and from 1872 to 1949 https://www.tramfan-ffm.de/netzplaene1.htm

    @Alon @RM_Transit they also went for low floor trams for the green line which is nuts. U need to blog anout the obsession with geenfield low-floor systems and 100% over way more simpler and (track) maintenance friendlier 70% low floor trams

    mucklasunterfusboden,
    @mucklasunterfusboden@mastodon.social avatar

    @RM_Transit @Alon exactly here in Calgary’s mother system we started to run 100 meter walk through trains. something that’s not possible with almost all low floor designs. Low floor was a great thing to bring accessibility to legacy German systems and preserving french mediaval town centers but in North America with 40-50 meter wide streets? If this can be high floor any LRT in NA could have been high floor

    mucklasunterfusboden,
    @mucklasunterfusboden@mastodon.social avatar

    @Squig @RM_Transit @Alon low floors are inherently inferior to high floor when it comes to passenger ergonomics, door placement and anything that goes into dwell times. It’s lots of trade offs only meant for making legacy systems (with no platforms) accessible on a budget but for greenfield systems there’s no good reason to take them (well if ur a french city wanting to preserve it’s historic core maybe)

    @Squig @RM_Transit @Alon i just have numbers for Frankfurt but even for being the model LRT it took 30 years to recover the ridership of the tram lines that were closed to build the U-Bahn.

    mucklasunterfusboden,
    @mucklasunterfusboden@mastodon.social avatar

    @Alon @Squig @RM_Transit the ridership for the Strassenbahn in Frankfurt dropped from 151 million in 1981 to 48 million in 2000 with the U-Bahn (almost completely build out to today’s level) did carry 94 million. Only in 2007 did the joint ridership surpass the legacy system

    @Alon @Squig @RM_Transit the height of tram wars in Frankfurt (and accelerated white flight) depending on the party in charge they tried to sabotage one system on the expense of the other by either canceling tunnel projects last minute to save a tram line or adding detours to the most important tram line to annoy the riders enough to change on to the u-bahn

    @Alon @Squig @RM_Transit U4 was completely grade separated so they trialed automated operations akin to Nürnberg in 1990

    I have to blog about British construction costs given what's happening on Birdsite right now, don't I?

    mucklasunterfusboden,
    @mucklasunterfusboden@mastodon.social avatar

    @Alon yes please plus a section why ridership per mile on what’s actually is built (in terms of Light rail) is soo soo much lower than on the continent the average British tram has a ridership per mile of about 2,000 way below almost any system on the continent (French outside of paris tram is around 4,000 to 8,000) even tampere (not really an urbanists paradise) started out with 4,000 per mile during covid…

    @mucklasunterfusboden@mastodon.social avatar

    @Alon ur right i forgot reading through it it still mystifies me how radial system outside London perform so badly like Manchester shouldn’t have less ridership for a sytem of its size than Darmstadt

    Because the Hamburg hotel was bad, we left early and are on a free regional train to Berlin. So far there's practically no seat turnover - it looks like just about everyone on this train is going end-to-end, Hamburg-Schwerin. We'll see how many of these riders also connect to Berlin at Schwerin soon.

    @Alon similar observation RE30|RE98 (Frankfurt-Kassel) used to be very crowded bringing in commuters from half of hessen into Frankfurt but weekends u never saw people standing nowadays u see people standing almost all the way

    @RM_Transit what’s ur thoughts on Clem Tillers paper about sandbagging the more expensive palmdale route vs i-99, as well as his blogpost about how cal hsr wants caltrain to not run a frequency based schedule but bunch three trains every half hour with a 25 minute service gap?
