The bigger problem is when trains have to stop for signals, which many light rail system at-grade end up doing.

Many of the light rail system I have seen in the US are at-grade. Things are too spread out, so many miles of rail are needed, and they are being built in towns originally designed for cars as the primary mode of transport. So, the right of ways aren’t there for elevated rail and to do so is far too expensive. So,…

Light rail is GARBAGE!!! It is the most inefficient use of land possible. It is a HELL of a lot more expensive than express lanes for buses and takes away from possible mixed public/private lane possibilities. It will never get to everywhere in a given area, so another mode of transport is always needed for last mile…

More likely, the opposite will happen... states are carving out special rules for these, but if they take off and they are getting people destroyed when an SUV drives over the top of them, the Feds will step in and force them to meet the same safety standards as normal cars.

How is anyone stupid enough to give this company money? Worst case scenario (and most likely) is it will end up as vaporware. Best case (realistic) scenario, they make it to “production” deliver a few hundred cars and then close up shop due to lack of demand/funding to continue operations.

You can “reserve” one for as little as $100... it means nothing.

There are no normal human beings in SoCal... they are all douchebags, so it might seem normal, but it’s not.

Skeet! Skeet! Skeet!

There is a Johnny Garlic’s near me that I went to shortly after it first opened and was by far one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. Food was terrible, service was worse, and severely overpriced.

It looks like it has been designed in a way that the poles are close enough together than even if a cable snaps it will not reach the ground.

When will people learn that socialism is not the same as fascist communism?

Ronda has been hated by many for quite some time. She has a terrible attitude and is a poor sport. The mainstream media who don’t follow MMA may have been in love with her and viewed her as a goddess, but they only were exposed to her put in the best light possible. Just about anyone who has followed the sport…

In MMA circles it was a WIDELY held belief that Ronda was a big fish in a small pond, fighting women who lacked the striking skills to dismantle her. EVERYONE has been saying for years, that all you have to do to beat Ronda is keep her at distance and win a striking match. The problem was the Women’s division is full…

Because the market has moved away from full-size cars. There isn’t enough room in a typical car to transport handcuffed prisoners after you put the safety shield between the front and backseat area.

I typically am anti-PC and think there is too much catering to those that are “offended” in today’s society. However, I see no problem with this. This is a corporation that makes decisions based on $$$$. They see the problem for color-blindness as a loss of enjoyment by a certain section of fans. If those fans go…

I’ve lived here all my life. It is the blandest “big city” in the US. Do a Google image search for “Santa Clara” or “San Jose” vs. “San Francisco” “Austin” “New York” or any other big city in the US, you will see exactly what I mean.

No!

It’s all about TV viewership... and a bland theme park in the middle of a bland town doesn’t make the impact that one of the most iconic cities in the country does.

Nearly all of the events for the Super Bowl (other than the game) are being held in San Francisco, because the South Bay is a bland spanse of suburbia with nothing interesting for TV or visitors from out of town.

This Super Bowl is gonna be a clusterfuck for anyone atteding.... all of the events are being spread out over the entire bay area. Tons of people are going to be booking hotels/events in San francisco not realizing that the game is over an hour away (probably over 2 hours on Super Bowl weekend) in a car with no good…
