Public transit should be frequent, especially in a city of 2 million people. Waits should be no more than 10 mins to change lines. The trams may be slower for an individual however they are faster for everyone as it pulls people out of cars. A capacity of only 4000 people per hour is basically nothing in a city of that size.

Then build trams, bike lanes and bus lanes in el alto and la paz. Just because its not possible one place In the city, doesn’t mean they can’t be done in other parts.

E-bikes are a great way to get around hilly cities.

The cable cars leave long gaps between stations so some more local transit would be beneficial.

As for transport in Canada stick to the conventional methods, they are conventional methods because they work.

I was talking about public transit for Toronto

The conversation has prompted me to have a tour on Google maps. First I explored round universidad pública de el alto. It’s surrounded bu 2 lane boulevards and a motorway. Lots of the roads looked pretty empty once you were away from the main roads. Though the street view is now 10 years old in that area. There is plenty of space for protected bike lanes on these roads.

I also looked as places in La Paz itself and while it is steeper it looks comparable to Lisbon, which has lots of trams and metros. On places where it is really to steep for conventional trams. Bus lanes or more specialised options like cable hauled or rack and pinion are used, but are rarer.

I do have to say, what a beautiful city. Overall, some roads may be too steep for trams however many are suitable. A road being busy isn’t a reason to not build. One tram can cary over 100 people, by getting people from cars into trams it reduces traffic, even if one lane is used for a dedicated bus and tram lane (which can also be used by police, fire and ambulance). This leaves the remaining lane for people who need to drive, rather than those who drive because they have no choice.

That’s still less than a bike lane and a the low end of a bus lane. If the space is avaliable for a cable car. An elevated metro (or Brussels style pre-metro) would be a better solution in my opinion.

If we take that assumption that is 20 people a minute, or 1200 people an hour. About as much as if everyone just drove in their cars.

They lack the capacity to be usefull unfortunately. A tram, bus lane, train/metro or bike lane would do the job better.

I think you might be mis-understanding slightly? In the UK the date is on the plate as part of the number e.g. AB25 6CD would be on a car registered in 2025. We don’t have anything on cars like a registration (tax disk went long ago) number plates are big and plastic here for some reason, someone smart could probably explain why it’s good or bad.

Sounds really nice, is there a recepie or more details somewhere?

Best pencil i have used

I hope it stays that way, but they are already pressuring everyone to move further right. I’m worried that the gammons will vote them in

I personally haven’t taken amtrak or via (I’m guessing your in us or canada) i don’t consider traveling on a train wasted time. I can sit and read (i get car sick), i can do work, charge my laptop, use on board Internet or 5g. I can also get a night train and sleep for the journey. America was built by the railways, there is no reason they can’t make a return.

Paying for WiFi sucks. At least in my country pretty much all trains have WiFi. Though if you have 5g in the car you should be able to get it on the train too (at least everywhere the car would). They’re also faster for all but the longest journeys (wish they were cheaper though)

I hope you aren’t watching a show while driving?

Thanks for the info

How did you get the cells, did you buy the car and take the battery out, buy the battery by itself, or buy the cells by themselves?

I think this might be what they are talking about. Brilliant video, the story just builds and builds and builds. https://youtu.be/K4yCXIZ32lk

Are there other gasses that could be used. E.g some of the noble gasses like argon or neon?

Metals are made of crystals, they usually defourm along the grain boundaries and fatigue cracks also grow along them. By eliminating those boundaries you reduce the chance for fatigue cracks and make the overall blade stronger.

Also lots of other places (YouTube as an example) allow you to migrate your account indefinitely, over a decade after they were purchased.
