Why does Lemmy and reddit love trains so much? They could solve some travel problems in some but are we expecting tracks to run literally everywhere and into every suburb? What about rural places?
It’s a matter of perspective. If someone’s from the USA, they have no idea whatsoever that trains could be anything good at all because that’s the opposite of what trains are like in their experience, but if they’re from the Netherlands then they know that trains can be simple and great.
the Dutch train system is so incredibly cool, you can get from one end to another end of the ‘main’ part of the Netherlands in an hour and its so easy to just get to any station anywhere and then you can just go everywhere for so incredibly cheap. Literally the only thing you need to get anywhere in the Netherlands is a bike and something to buy train tickets with. You dont even need to buy tickets, you can just tap your debit card on the gates in the entrance station and then tap it when you exit and it just handles everything for you
And on the first day multivac said LET THERE BE TRAINS
We are the simulation and everywhere we’ve evolved to using trains of some form, with a few very notable exceptions
