I really don't know. Everything about it seems cool, it seems to be working for Vancouver.
Meme-ish, possibly worth considering for new build light metro kinda things, bad idea for conversion of existing railways. Lightweight bogies, potentially lower floor, can handle a bit steeper gradients, so could cut civil engineering costs a bit and no maintenance for gearboxes vis traditional motors, but worse efficiency and needs that pusher plate mounted on the track.
Some of the systems that have tried linear motor lines have later gone to conventional motors when adding new lines, like Vancouver built Expo and Millenium Skytrain lines with linear, then conventional Canada line, Guangzhou used linear for lines 4 5 and 6, then back to conventional for 7/8/9/13/14/18/21

>>1722624>light metro kinda thingsYeah you have to be 100% sure and committed to building an independent network of them. Trains can't run to conventional metro, light rail, or tramway. The reverse is also true with tighter loading gauge. >bad idea for conversion of existing railwaysHow Paris Metro converted to rubber-tyred guideway while keeping steel wheels and tracks is such a abnormality. >cut civil engineering costsUnfortunately they have worse capacity, limited capability of expansion Tokyo Toei Oedo Line is suffering from overcrowding (to be fair it is over-extended outside the Metropolis on the outer radial section)
What went wrong /n/?
>a mad dictator kidnaps you anmd forces you to design a network of rollercoasters as the main mean of public transport for the goverment restrict in his capital.what do?
>>1722007Dodonpa isn't magnetically launched
>>1722311They’re loaded onto a separate maglev tram that ensures prompt arrival at the next roller coaster station coinciding with arrivals of the roller coasters
>>1721964you need to be 6ft+ to ride
>>1721983Anybody else exclusively used some coaster with maximum acceleration to shuttle around visitors instead of the regular trains?
>>1722355Yeah, designs like pic-related were very popular in that your guests paid shit tons of cash just to go deeper into your park.
1. What are the top 5 selling bike brands in the USA?2. In your opinion, who are the top 3 bicycle manufacturers?
>>1722443This.I have nothing more to add, but to comment that it will be interesting to see how things change now that Pon Holdings now owns so many bikes brands (Caloi, Cannondale, Cervelo, Charge, Derby Cycle, Focus, Gazelle, GT, Iron Horse, Juliana, Kalkhoff, Kidtraxx, Mongoose, Santa Cruz, Schwinn, Union, Urban Arrow, and more!)
>>1722452I'm not a big fan of pacific cycles, or Dorel, but to see them just fucking entirely gobbled up in one swoop is astounding. We'll just have to see if Pon actually has a plan, or if they're just collecting name brands.

>>1721807It's even crazier when you find out that the 80lb knuckle (208) that swings shut is only held closed by the lock block (220) which only weighs a few pounds. That one piece of metal is completely capable of holding the knuckle closed even if the pin (212) is missing. The pin is really only there to keep the knuckle from falling out when you operate the lifter (224) to separate the cars. It's not uncommon where I work for inbounds to land with the pins missing on some of the cars. For a while, plastic pins were popular because they were cheaper, but they are also more prone to breaking when switching cars. Although the janney coupler makes my job a lot easier, when the lock block assembly wears out and you can't pull the pin because it's catching inside, they can be a real pain in the ass.

What radicalized you?
>>1721805Do you not see how ridiculous it is to suggest that we redesign our cities, but in a way that keeps racial inequities? If you’re not trying to design cities for a tolerant, sustainable future then your just a troll.
>>1721810It is possible to have rational discussions about urban planning without making Diversity Inclusion and Equity (TM) and sustainability the only focus. Strong Towns actually started on this premise, that the financials were so bad and so compelling that the other talking points were, quite frankly, irrelevant. But I seriously doubt you actually hold epic progressive views and are just a troll, so I've been master baited I'm sure
>>1721810You don't have to design inequalities. They emerge spontaneously and attempts to socially engineer them away always has unforeseen consequences. Legitimate solutions are nowadays criticized for not having enough white guilt or pandering to blacks.
>>1719360americans dont want to admit it but to fix the affordability issue, the government needs to step in and force it to happen, which is sadly "communism"

Is there anyone in planning history with worse outcomes for the cities they've been involved in? Her influence resulted in 3 of the most expensive cities in the world
>>1722137No, not even with the traditional capitalistic theory of supply and demand, it just means that demand outstrips supply to become more expensive, and in most of the areas this is diluted with non-capitalism factors like licenses, fees, and taxes that make it more expensive than it already is.If the expensive/desirable equilibrium was actually true, than I've got a $50 can of Spam to sell to you. Of course you can get it for cheaper elsewhere (not to mention better meat is less expensive), but it's more expensive, it has to be better, right?
>>1722297>it just means that demand outstrips supplyWow, you were so close. What would you call it when lots people want something? p-popular? d-desirable?Nobody is going to buy your $50 can of spam while thousands of people across the country are willing to move to New York and pay $2k a month to rent a shoebox.
>>1722297Why is there demand, though? With NYC, and how many places are empty, sure they’re proved too high. But in general, that’s not the case. In general, if stuff is selling and renting at high prices, that’s because people want to live there. Those places would be empty if they didn’t.
>>1722094>supply and demand
>>1722297Most unfit analogy I've read all month.
