sorry idk but the way the world is so fast and the people in it still want it to be faster is sooo annoying to me. people groaning while standing in line for 3 minutes people being mad the train ride is gonna take 2 hours people complaining that the bus is a few minutes late people being angry that construction work is taking months even though it used to take decades. don't you see the world is already so so so fast in every single aspect can't you understand that being mad will do nothing and just make your mood worse. enjoy the moments of stillness you're given. just stand in line and look at the people around you. sit on the train and watch the scenery. you'll get there.

#it's literally one of my main pet peeves not even sorry actually!!!!! esp ppl loudly complaining while standing in line or #when the train's like 2 minutes late coz it has to stop and ppl start yelling #hell even if it stops for 2 hours. who cares who cares who cares unless you're late for like a weeding or smtg who cares !!!!#literally just relax slow down. look at your phone idk #this one should be it's own post but like when people complain about budapest public transport it makes me so mad....#bruhhh shit's on time 99% of the time and it's like. outstandingly good compared to any other city #hungarian infrastructure in general like are the trains the best NO but they get you pretty much anywhere for like 30 cents #calm down !!!!!!!!!!#barking #humans

Advancing Andhra Pradesh's Public Transport: N Chandrababu Naidu's Focus on Strengthening Transportation Infrastructure

N. Chandrababu Naidu, the former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, has indeed emphasized the importance of enhancing public transportation infrastructure in the state. During his tenure, he aimed to strengthen public transport to improve mobility, reduce congestion, and promote sustainable development.

Amaravati Metro Rail is one of the significant TDP projects under N Chandrababu Naidu's vision was the development of a metro rail system in Amaravati, the proposed capital city of Andhra Pradesh. The metro project aimed to provide a reliable and efficient mode of transportation, connecting various parts of the city and promoting economic growth.

Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS): N Chandrababu Naidu recognised the significance of bus-based public transportation and implemented BRTS in selected cities like Visakhapatnam and Vijayawada. BRTS systems provide dedicated bus lanes, intelligent transportation systems, and other infrastructure enhancements to ensure fast and reliable services. For more info on the contributions of TDP delve into the official TDP website.

Integrated Public Transport Systems: The main agenda of the TDP government focused on integrating different modes of public transport, including buses, metro rail, suburban rail, and water transport, to create a seamless and efficient transportation network. This integration aimed to provide convenient and comfortable travel options for commuters.

Electric Mobility: N Chandrababu Naidu also stressed the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in public transport. He encouraged the use of electric buses and supported the establishment of charging infrastructure to promote cleaner and greener transportation options.

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS): The implementation of ITS by the Telugu Desam Political Party government played a crucial role in improving public transportation services. ITS includes technologies like real-time passenger information systems, automatic fare collection, and traffic management systems, which enhance the overall efficiency and convenience of public transport.

Last-Mile Connectivity: Recognizing the importance of seamless travel, N Chandrababu Naidu's government focused on providing last-mile connectivity options to commuters. This involved the development of feeder services, bicycle-sharing programs, and pedestrian-friendly infrastructure near transportation hubs.

Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs): To expedite the development of public transport infrastructure, N Chandrababu Naidu's administration actively sought private sector participation through PPPs. This approach aimed to leverage private expertise and investment to enhance the quality and reach of public transportation services.

Molten lava on Hawaii's Big Island could block main highway

Molten lava on Hawaii’s Big Island could block main highway

HILO, Hawaii — Many people on the Big Island of Hawaii are bracing for major upheaval if lava from Mauna Loa volcano slides across a key highway and blocks the quickest route connecting two sides of the island. The molten rock could make the road impassable and force drivers to find alternate coastal routes in the north and south. That could add hours to commute times, doctor’s visits and freight…

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/09/12/railroad-strike-deadline/

so. just learned that apparently our transportation infrastructure is about to be even more disrupted cause rail companies have had workers on absolutely fucking barbaric schedules for decades 🙃

i would reccomend clicking thru the embedded top tweets link and reading some of the replies cause there are people talking about their experiences that illustrate yeah, its fucking bad. this one i wanna highlight, because it being inhumane should already be reason enough cause shit can get BAD when the person behind the controls aint in working shape.

(if you want an example of a major rail explosion, look at the Lác-Mégantic rail disaster)

ill also say that this aint the only way our transport system is shit to its workers, heres a last week tonight segment on how shit truckers are treated, but apparently this would probs effect about 1/3 of our transported goods, so. if they dont reach an agreement get ready for at least a temp disruption.

apparently the disruption might be bad enough that it forces their hand REALLY fast (somewhere here i read about the last strike only lasting 3 days cause of how bad it was?), but even then itll probs be noticeable for us to some degree

anyway! i wish the workers all the best in winning themselves some conditions that aint fucking horrible, and fuck RR companies for pulling this shit for decades apparently. i want my people hauling hundreds of tons over thousands of feet to be well rested and able to take a day off if theyre sick.

In Pursuit of Mobility Equity: The Importance of Data Analytics in Transportation

Mobility equity plays a foundational role in ensuring fair and equal access to every societal necessity, from schools to supermarkets. The collection of accurate, representative transportation data therefore underpins equitable access not only to transit but also to every essential service in a community.

The challenge of gathering accurate data and analyzing it effectively is best met through public-private partnerships. Collaboration between these sectors is key to clarifying data collection objectives and the value of data analyzed. Without that clarity, the analysis could be compromised, potentially resulting in biased conclusions that may not serve the public good.

The data collection and analytics expertise of organizations such as Hitachi makes them powerful partners for providing communities with innovative technology to move toward transportation equity.

Overcoming Challenges Through A Neutral Intermediary

To achieve transportation equity, authorities must have a reliable source of comprehensive and contemporary data. Collection must occur via a thorough understanding of the community’s actual needs, and the data itself must help meet those needs. Reliance on historical data is insufficient, as it may not account for changes in the population or accurately represent underserved populations.

Participation and information-sharing provide a fundamental understanding of transportation equity and tapping this crucial data source requires organizations to build public trust by demonstrating responsibility with personally identifiable information (PII), transactional transparency and accountability.

Organizations must also demonstrate transactional transparency by informing their customers everything about the data they will collect, how they will collect and the purpose for its use. One way to instill confidence is for a trusted, neutral intermediary to manage this data and to preserve the privacy of end consumers while ensuring that the data used creates value safely and fairly.

Finally, the data collection process must facilitate repeatability and scalability by using a standardized recording of the approach.

Addressing Data Analysis Challenges Through Technology

Public-private partnerships are helpful when organizations face data analysis challenges. To help, transit authorities and municipalities can partner with private technology companies who possess the requisite tools and knowledge to develop the right models for society at large.

Standardizing data-sharing is an important first step in improving access and reducing costs and procedural overheads. An open-source data exchange standard, for example, can provide common access to data across various providers, municipalities and customers. Policymakers and private sector stakeholders must also be cognizant of the mobility challenges that rural communities face.

Analytics and AI deliver the equity differential

Data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) are essential to these efforts. AI-based advanced planning and scheduling software, for example, can optimize operations and manage assets more efficiently by routing vehicles to where demand is greatest, as well as supporting predictive maintenance and repair.

Collaborating to build an equitable mobility ecosystem

Hitachi’s vision of mobility extends beyond the technology related to vehicles themselves to the entire transportation ecosystem. This perspective is ideally suited to launching innovations that help municipalities realize equity in underserved communities. It supports the formation of partnerships with key stakeholders, including providers of infrastructure, communication, and data collection and storage services that interplay with Hitachi’s advanced transportation technology, analytics and cybersecurity.

Cars vs Accessible Worlds

Alright, let me talk about one thing in terms of accessibility in science fiction settings - and Solarpunk specifically - that also has more than one side to it: Cars and accessibility. Because it is more complicated than you'd thing.

See: The fact that our world is so car centric really, really hinders accessibility. Wide streets are a hindrance for even normal pedastrians, cyclists and so on. If I want to get from A to B, and the route crosses a street, and there is only a traffic light every like 500 meters, it means tat I usually need either to risk my life or take the long way around to get there. And that is a fucking bother even when you are healthy and can easily take that long way around. And the more car centric a society is, the worse the issue becomes. Here in Germany it is a lot easier still to cross a street than in many places in the US.

And of course this gets a lot worse if you are disabled. Be it that you just cannot walk that far. Or if you are blind and cannot even see in what direction you could go for the next traffic light. Or if you are hard of hearing or deaf, you might be more in danger of being surprised by a car. (And that is without going into how electric cars being so fucking quiet makes stuff even more dangerous.) And, you know, neurodivergent people might also just struggle with the fucking noise that is created by roads and is often inescapable in big cities.

And of course even outside of the environmental issues, the constant presence of cars is also a health risk. Not just because of the risk of accidents, but also due to the pollution and how it interacts. Even if we all were driving electric cars, there would still be all those microplastics created by tires and streets and stuff.

So, really. We do need to move away from car centric infrastructure to make our lives healthier and to make the world more accessible for disabled people too.

BUT...

But there is the issue that some disabled people still might be in need to use some sort of personal transportation device that can cover both short and large distances, because for one reason or another public transport just does not work and cannot work for them.

For example someone with severe anxiety issues, or someone who will be easily suffering from sensory overwhelm. There might be other issues, too. Just some folks will always need something like cars.

And of course there is also the fact that stuff like emergency services will still need streets accessible to cars. Because the emergency services will just not get around using something like cars to get to all the places they might be needed.

And this... makes things complicated. Because infrastructure should not be car centric, no. But it needs to be accessible by cars - and be it just for emergency services.

This is just something that I would love to see more talked about especially within the Solarpunk sphere.

Freeways are NOT safer than surface streets, the most deadly accidents happen on freeways due to the high speeds involved. Look up actual statistics and go to drivers ed b4 you bootlick for freeways.

My very first ask! Thanks anon!

So, even though you called me a bootlicker for advocating for public transit, I'm going to address the core of your argument and leave out the ad hominem.

1. Couldn't find any statistics on freeway vs. surface streets percentage. If you've got it, let me know and stop using the smoothbrained alt-right "do your research" line. Only related thing I could find is that 17% of traffic deaths are pedestrians, which (statistically) don't occur on freeways.

2. I suspect you're right that more fatal crashes occur on freeways! However, we have to adjust for how much travel time is spent on freeways vs. surface streets. If they're far more heavily used (spoilers: they are), then even a higher number of deaths still equates to a LOWER number of deaths per capita, meaning they're safer. That's statistics, even if they don't agree with your world view.

3. (And this one is really important) Freeways suck. They suck for a plethora of reasons. There's so much scholarship and research on the suckiness of freeways. Public transit infrastructure is the solution to that problem. I will never advocate for the expansion of freeways (or even their use over surface streets), especially at the expense of a robust public transit system.

Huh, I guess I addressed the bootlicker comment after all, you sly devil.
