@Ptsf Sorry, I was reading more into your comment.
I was reading it as: <technical reason> thus electrification wont happen
But I think now it was: <example of US dysfunction> thus electrification wont happen
Is that more of what you were intending?
@Ptsf If you aren't interested in the comparison of the US and India it is probably a bad idea to comment in a thread about that topic.
More American's should care about public transport. It actually delivers personal freedom that y'all give so much lip service to.
@Ptsf @Beaver Compared to India? Which parts of the USA ration which hours/days each region of a city gets power?
When I was in a random restaurant in some Indian town the drinks we ordered took an insane amount of time to be prepared. We realised that was because an employee had to ride a bike to somewhere that had power to make our drinks and ride them back to us.
The US is a bastion of peak reliability compared to India.
@Beaver And India thought that was a good idea even when rolling black outs have been a normal part of life. Electricity is just that good of a solution to many things.
@Lysergid @OlPatchy2Eyes Is it a scheduled stop? Having a bus sit there for 5 minutes when it is running fast would really suck. But I'd need a lot more than such a screen shot to know if this is a horrible stop or one that just looks silly.
There is a lot that goes into where stops should optimally be.
@howrar @tpid98 I would hope a pedal powered e-trike would be using direct chain drive from pedals to wheels, the efficiency of that is very hard to beat.
