  • Excluding London, how would you rank UK cities in terms of how good their public transport is?

    Jump

  • I'm not sure about the economic models of how such cities work, but Manchester and Nottingham have very competent rail/ tram services and public transport. I'm also pretty sure Nottingham also offers free travel to students.

  • The mindset behind this comment confuses me. Who do you think is more called to action by their beliefs, the one who vehemently opposes the status quo or those one who is apathetic to/ supports it?

  • Second of all they're right. It IS exhausting being like this, but someone has to do it. Because if people aren't being exhaustingly fed up of the status quo, billionaires will keep fucking us up, down and sideways. I almost wish I COULD be like Ilovethebomb. Ignorance, willing or not, is bliss afterall...

  • Are trams that good (genuine question)?

  • Fair. I have to visit there one time to get a good idea of it.

  • This is interesting. I was talking to someone who studies in Sheffield and they said it's a terrible city for public transport

  • The problem with this though is if a town/ city can afford a tram network but chooses not to in order to cut corners for upfront costs, it shows a lack of commitment. The wrong government/ council comes into power and a BRT us getting rolled back straight away for car centric infrastructure again.

  • Fantastic. So a nice small town can really rely on well planned out bike paths with a good tram network if they can afford the upfront costs. If not, then a BRT system or similar with separated bus lanes would be the next best thing, making sure that these "mid" to "short" distance forms of transports linl well with the town's train station(s).

  • I wouldn't call Birmingham a small city haha, but thanks for this!

    Edit: I am an idiot, I get what the link means by "Birmingham is a small city" after taking 5 mins to read.

    Edit 2: Just taken some more time to read this and it's gold, thanks for sharing. Really informative.

  • Sure. Some cities where I come from where trams exists have roads that have tram tracks in the middle of them. As others have alluded to this is probably rare - I don't really know as the last time I took a tram I was too young to remember it and I live in a town that has no trams at all.

    Because of my experience with seeing tram tracks on roads I assumed they shared significant parts of their journey with road cars which made me think they're subject to traffic jams.

    Jump

  • Yeah this makes sense. I come from a country that doesn't have many trams and when I do see them they tend to be interacting with the road which is probably where my perception comes from.

  • Thanks for the info I wanted to access the article but it's blocked by a paywall/ email submission to view which I'm not too keen on doing. I know Israel had funded Hamas to maintain its own status quo many years ago but wasn't privy to the possibility it may still be happening. Was wondering if you had any other sources on this?

  • Desire for Palestinian liberation can never be centrist, sorry.

  • I don't support Hamas just like you don't. I don't support the death of civilians, Israeli or Palestinian. What I have a problem with in the general sentiment of this thread is people acting as if the Israeli government's actions are not the cause of this war. Hamas would not exist if the Israeli government never oppressed Palestinian people first. The PLO wouldn't exist if the Israeli government didn't oppress Palestinian people first. Hamas killing innocent civilians wouldn't have happened if the Israeli govrnement never tried to genocide Palestinians. You can argue that Hamas would commit genocide if they could, but the fact is Israel is the one commiting genocide at the moment. Making out as if both need equal condemning (although they need condemning nonetheless) is equivalent to giving a bully the same punishment as the victim who fights back. They are simply not the same.

    Fuck Hamas and fuck Israel. But especially fuck Israel.

  • If a 16th century Native American wanted to destroy the government of the United States of America, would you say they were wrong?

    Hamas' blatant anti-semitism towards all ethnic jews is wrong. Hamas' desire for Israel to not be a nation anymore is justified.
