I travel to Amsterdam each day by train for work.I feel such embarresment when I see tourist lost and trying to find the right train to Schiphol Airport.The Dutch Railways should pick up on these signals and improve the station and platforms.My train departs across from the one that goes to Schiphol airport.I tend to stay at the station 3-4 hours each day after work, pointing tourists in the right direction.Till I'm too tired and hungry and I go home.At home I'm too tired to cook and I eat a bowl of yohurt with fruit and go straight to bed.
>>1799568some people are timid travellers and, when travelling, a mistake can lead to being yelled at by someone whose language you do not speak well. or, the nightmare scenario where you miss your stop, and watch where you *should* be pass by the window. i feel it's unfair to say 'durrrr works for me, therefore everybody else is retarded'.
how do i find my bike in the parking structure
>>1799559The problem is this> Amsterdam has 15 platforms> One end is the "a" end, the other end is the "b" end (see picture i posted)Solution> Put clear arrows on the floor point to the "a" and "b" ends of the platform> Have a staff member on the platform with a vest "can I help you"> Clearly mark that the platform that goes to Schiphol aiport. 14a is the express train and 14b is the commuter train.
>>1800083well, i can't argue with any of that. wayfinding is very important for making travellers feel welcome and confident that they are in the right place
OP here, I'm a little creeped out. Almost as if the Dutch Railway company browses 4chan. Today and yesterdag there were staff on platform 14 with vests "can I help you?" in several languages.
>soviet architecture is depress...Oh. Never mind. I was wrong.
>>1799376>>1799516Late-stage capitalism has long depended on creating as many markets and marketable entities as possible, to exploit. This has led to nonsensical levels of forced individualism, where the mere act of having to acknowledge the existence of others has become offensive in the minds of some.One has to enshrine oneself in a personal vehicle, excluding oneself from their surroundings. One has to buy a separate house, preferably a unique McMansion, completely separated and detached from the surrounding buildings and community (if there is any). One has to oppose any kind of shared facilities or mutual support, be they unions, parks, public transport, or social security. After all, they might get in their way somehow and, even worse, they'll benefit someone else. Hell, one might have to use them WITH others!So, NO to hanging clothes outside.NO to kids playing out in the street.NO to actually solving homelessness, just push them out of sight.NO to acknowledging the humanity and soul of your suffering fellow man.NO to building shared buildings with facilities for all.NO to functioning infrastructure and transportation. Somebody might actually get somewhere without actually having to! They might enjoy getting around so much they wander into YOUR sight!Then perversely he christens his isolation, this self-assembled prison made out of ideas which were so grandly marketed to him, as "Freedom". Later he wonders why he is suffering physically and spiritually, why he feels so alone.And the next salesman comes knocking with his snake-oil and band-aids... Or a scapegoat and a fistful of bullets.

Believe me, I would be biking everywhere, but there's one thing that stops me. How do you guys deal with sweat while biking?
>>1800576Important question: what color and what logo does your cycling cap has?
>>1800576just have hair bro
>>1795988Just ride at a speed that doesn't cause you to sweat, it shouldn't be any more exerting than walking. And if you can't walk without being drenched in sweat, then stop be so fat.
>>1800461this anon nailed it. offices can relax the dress code without killing the professional vibe if they really wanted. you don't need to look like you fell into the bargain bin at rei to have acceptable, office casual clothes that perform correctly for riding a bike.
>>1800960you like sweaty hair plastered to your forehead?

>>1793232In the past I've made this recipe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bcejIf0w3UThey are close to a cliff bar in my opinion, you could play around with reducing the rice a little and replace it with oatmeal as well and event get closer.
>>1788100A good smoothie and pastrami or bacon

>>1800235because thameslink is a commuter rail service, designed to transport people from suburbs and dormitory towns into skyscrapers where they form the bedrock of the global economy (making debt instruments too complex to be understood and selling them to each other, thus generating value somehow). thameslink isnt its own separate THING, as it was formed by the usual process of upgrading existing lines and services, and glomming old/disused lines together, and calling the service that runs on top of those new/upgraded lines "thameslink".crossrail, on the other hand, was built to relieve capacity on the current transit modes that people use to get across london, most notably the Central line on the underground. so the central core section is a brand-new, purpose-built, high-frequency shuttle between important interchanges. the branches to the outer sections then serve commuter towns that are either busy or going to be busy (thus needing transit links), as well as the Canary Wharf financial centre and the country's busiest airport.tldr. crossrail is more of an RER-like service, unlike the thameslink commuter-rail service. they're similar but, different enough for it to matter.
>>1800314>the central core section is a brand-new, purpose-built, high-frequency shuttle between important interchangeswell, ok, 'shuttle' isn't completely accurate, it's not like there will be a train going back and forth calling at stations inside the core section. however, the crossrail service is going to be frequent enough in the core that it would seem like there is.
>>1800314>skyscrapers where they form the bedrock of the global economy (making debt instruments too complex to be understood and selling them to each other, thus generating value somehow)
>>1798602You can use them all with a contactless credit or debit card though, which makes it very easy.
Look at these TfL thugs harassing an elderly lady simply for entering the wrong zones on her Travelcard. Disgusting.
The purpose of this thread is to discuss various light electric modes of transportation, such as ebikes and escooters.Reputable Dealershttps://alienrides.com/https://revrides.com/https://www.ewheels.com/https://e-rides.com/https://www.euco.us/https://eevees.com/https://www.voromotors.com/https://fluidfreeride.com/

>>1798776You should probably replace most of the screws immediately with better quality ones. A lot of people complain about the screws being so soft that the strip themselves pretty fast from the vibrations and movement, especially the brake caliper screws. Turn of regenerative braking too since people have been frying controllers often on the 9+s and 10+s with it on.
>>1785000This bike was literally recalled because the frame breaks in half. Have fun!
>>1785467The worst of both worlds. Congrats!
In our densest cities, we could just put in an entire bus lane. But in Sunbelt cities we could add these with basically no disruption to traffic because the streets have so many lanes. It would increase ridership and reduce travel times.
>>1800192Take the TRVE BRT pill.The busways are the only thing that make busses in Pittsburgh bearable.
>>1800973BRT is just the world's shittiest light rail.
>>1800976Thanks for posting in the BUS thread, you fuck.Sorry, but your train circle jerk is >>>/trash/ that way.
>>1801008busses are great, but they're no replacement for rail.
>>1794391London bus driver here. Just tell me you've never driven a bus without telling me, ay? I think bus bulb stops would be great in some parts of London due to the retards that park in the stop (at least I get an excuse to drive past the poor sods in the shelter)
Solar. Freakin. Roadways.
>>1800925can the solar panels shoot lighting at the cars
>>1800925this would be cool with the addition of chargers for electric vehicles.
>>1800925There's a place near my parents' house that has done this in the dumbest possible way.They installed shorty posts in the green patch between parking lanes on hillside. They could have built a shady canopy, but instead they built something that modern MEGA trucks are capable of wrecking with their hoods.
>>1800926Roads and infrastructure are still /n/, /o/ is just on cars themselves. Are the dozen car/road hate threads on /n/ not good enough for you?

>Americans are REQUIRED to build extra parking spacesWtf is this real? I thought you were the country of freedom and property rights.
>>1799451Everyone hates parking minimums, but those same cities usually have parking maximums. So fuck off with that disingenuous bullshit.
>>1800405This is Italy's Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. It was built in the late 1800s and basically consists of several buildings connected and enclosed with a glass roof. There are no cars allowed inside. Does not that sound familiar?
>>1799451Civil "rights" act killed private property rights
>>1801046They're all over the place. Different names depending on the culture & how far back you look. Bazaar, market hall, arcade, etc.Leadenhall Market, London is the one normies are possibly familiar with, because of Harry Potter. Hamidiyeh, Damascus might be the most kino.
>>1800756>Never seen a mall with schools, theaters, churches, library and normal flats.I can think of malls (in the US) that have each of those, but not one that has all-at-once. Assuming you meant 'live theater', not 'movies'.
That will be $99 + tip.
>>1800920>cager behavior.you mean driving on roads?
>>1800869The $99 was just for cleanup. No further action since the police determined it was an act of mercy.
>>1800869that's why I stay on the side walk
>>1800869lmao i don't know who would willingly bike the rickenbacker, the bike lanes are shit
>>1800869There was a nice wide MUP with dedicated bicycle and pedestrian lanes. Why build bike infrastructure if cyclists insist on using the main road?
What happened? What is stopping us from having a country-wide transportation system like pic related?https://twitter.com/travis_robert/status/1500630174131527681?t=0LQYeUXhrwzEO5V7tidzoA&s=19

>>1771674The cross country disconnect is understandable, but the intracoastal lack of trains isn't. There ain't shit along either coast compared to China.
How do we make the roads safer for lightweight PEVs, velos and ebikes?I was thinking instead of those pesky traffic cameras we could install motion activated speed bumps. Just a series of blocks that normally sit flush with the road but raise up whenever someone does more than 5 or 8mph over the speed limit.Since most car trips are 11 miles or less it doesnt make sense to use a 4,000 pound vehicle to move a single human from A to B and back.What do you guys think?
>>1800246Well I guess you are right. The current state of affairs is basically a tug of war between bike riders, drivers, and public transportation advocates, even though there is plenty of room for improving things that would benefit everyone. Public transportation is not a zero sum game after all.
>>1796530>and not scooters or eucs.because those literally aren't legal on public roads*, and quite rightly as well. while we're here the purpose of an electric assist bike is to give you a push if you're too old or fat, not to effectively be an unregistered motorbike as you amerisharts seem to think.*except rental e scooters in some parts of bongistan, but you need a category AM moped licence.
>>1796190Speed bumps usually have signs prior and bright paint over them, keep those and there wont be a difference in perception for a driver- they will see a sign, they will see black n yellow in the distance, and once they close in they'll see the bump already lifted.
>>1796176>let's install a complex, expensive, maintenance heavy, over-engineered, motorized, computerized device cause i'm scaredHow about fuck you instead? If there's one lesson to learn from the memevirus of 2019 is that people like you should be quarantined for life
