Good luck operating a subway across the American border these days.

>>1079315
Thankfully this is the US-Canada border, which is a lot more lax than America's southern counterpart. Especially because the border so often divides communities by the building in cases like Derby Line.

In Europe there are dozens of cross-border railways and trams, though this is made possible by free movement of people; just have a valid identity card with you, and between some countries just a driving licence or social security card with your picture is accepted.

Pic related, TILO, Swiss-Italy regional railway system. Used often when I spent vacation in Como-area.

Nothing special, only ''border thing'' they have is just legal notices for both countries in the train for example if you have to be fined or don't have a valid ticket, and before crossing the border there's just an announcement saying you must have a valid travel document (identity card is fine) with you and you must have nothing to declare.

In Denmark-Sweden a driving license is fine for crossing the border. Seems crazy for my mind.

That's actually in its trial phases here in America. If you live in New York, Vermont, Washington, Minnesota, or Michigan, you can apply for something called an enhanced state ID/driver's license which allows for travel by land or water to Canada, Mexico, and the Carribean while using only your driver's license instead of your papers.

This is the proposed rapid bus network by the opposition party in the 2016 local elections in Canberra. It would've created one of, if not the best bus networks in the world, with rapid routes servicing all major suburbs and population centers. All of the routes except 1 & 2(blue and red) are new, and the blue/red are extended at the southern/northern ends respectively.

But no. Instead, we're spending about 1 billion AUD on 11km of tram to replace the red rapid bus route between the city and gungahlin.

Someone from Toronto post the flavour-of-the-month fantasy map. God knows it won't be the last one

>>1079607
I like how Toronto has a new official transit development map every fucking month and every week when the Mayor race is on. And the grand battle of subways vs. LRT.

>>1079570
Regular bus, but at high frequency. There's also a lot of bus lanes/bus priority intersections, sort of a BRT-lite with 4-15 minute frequency depending on time of day.

>>1079623
Sounds regular desu

>>1079624
Map doesn't quite make it obvious, but virtually all of the routes are on 80kmh main roads that either don't get congested, or have uninterrupted bus infrastructure, or had plans to build it. So I think BRT-lite fits.

>>1079635
That sounds way better than the Jeffrey Jump in Chicago.

>>1079375
Well, crossing the American border is like crossing the Berlin Wall, even to/from Canada. You have to show your passport, for one. Frequent crossers can get special passes, but it's still rather more cumbersome than European borders.

And it'll probably get worse under you-know-who.

I was just in Milan and took the TILO to Lugano. I had to change trains at Chiasso so it's not quite seamless

>I was just in Milan and took the TILO to Lugano. I had to change trains at Chiasso so it's not quite seamless
I've taken the train between Milan and Lugano in the past, and it went through. It was a long distance train; I think it was going somewhere like Zurich or Basel (can't remember, was ages ago).

Lugano is dead gorgeous.

>>1084583
Piss, forgot the change at Lugano. But it's because Swiss railways prioritise the SBB trains on the busy Ticino tracks so they don't have only but few through services.

But you can't build there, since it lacks the population data to calculate the ridership, right?

I can build, but it just doesnt tell the population data etc. But i'm just using it for fancy looking maps

I love enmodal/jp wrights subway

I like the new ability to branch off from the same subway line, but I wish you had the ability to make fully closed loops

>>1091990
Me too actually. I also wish I had the ability to decide where stations branch off from the line instead of lines automatically deciding how to connect them sometimes dragging other lines with it in the process. But honestly I'm just happy to have a free tool that's this good nitpicks aside

you know that it was possible to cross east and west germany in berlin. surely it was only a station which you can change but it should be possible to make it with more than one station.

>>1094125
West Berlin was not part of West Germany?

>>1094216
West Berlin was an exclave of the FRG completely surrounded by GDR territory.

>>1094285
It wasn't a normal FRG state. Americans, British and French were in command of their sectors and the citizens had special privileges and drawbacks.
For instance the Bundestag wasn't elected by the citizens, instead the city council send representatives.
West German citizens in Berlin were exempt from conscription.

Whoever is running the Chicago Streetcar nonprofit has no idea what they are doing.

Their whole plan revolves around creating a line directly down Michigan Ave which legally can't have streetcars on it

I pointed it out to them and they just dismissed it as "we'll get support from businesses"

I use enmodal.co thanks to this thread but i know there are other apps like remix (which seems to be professional-oriented). so id like /n/'s opinion.

how so?

Also that line seems to be pretty parallel to some L lines or am I looking at it the wrong way?
I don't get these meme streetcars running too parallel to heavy rail. Why not propose a sort of semi-circle streetcar running around the city center? Or a radial line which runs along some corridor that's far away from any heavy rail...

The Boulevard system prevents certain streets from having streetcar lines. Michigan Ave is technically Michigan Boulevard to Adams, north of Adams was a cable car line circling the block until the 1880s.

Also yes, they say paralleling the L provides direct competition, which I think is bad if it is to ever become part of the CTA. Creating a line that follows heavily used bus lines and feeds into the L would be much smarter.
