I assumed the parent commenter meant this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compartment_coach

But if the commenter meant cross-seat trains like this:

then yeah it exists

I’m on the Sublinks Matrix, the project has come to a halt.

That's sad :( any specific reason why?

Mbin so far looks promising to me

I prefer to have my own community, I already have my own vision/preference on what I want the community would be like

I've said this before:

I wanted something like Skyscrapercity forum but on Lemmy, or something similar to r/transit.

(As a context, in Skyscrapercity is a discussion forum about infrastructures in the world, underrated website)

Public transports are not limited to trams, trolleys, and street cars. It also includes trains, high-speed rail buses, etc. And my vision for this community is that I want the community to be discussion-oriented. For example, the accessibility of a public transport, the obstacles of building one, the ticket price, the effect it has on the city, integrations between modes, etc. Take a look at https://reddit.com/r/transit for example.

To be clear, I'm not saying that !trams_trolleys_streetcars@lemmy.blahaj.zone is a bad community, it just has difference purpose, as far as I can understand. I'll probably try to crosspost some of the post there.

Also, I'm still not sure what type of posts succeed the most. Whether it's discussion/question posts, photos, or posting links from other websites

I also try to engage in the comment section after posting

I'm thinking of adding "Question of the Week" type of thread to !publictransport@slrpnk.net

I'm not an American, but why don't we make smaller cars instead?

Just found a really good video covering the example of what’s stopping USA to build transit projects (specifically in LA). He invited an expert suited for this topic and the points are coherent.

• US has been building highways too much, they forgot how to build proper transit
• Environmental issues being weaponized against building transits (while highways keeps getting built)
• Similarly “citizen voice” has also been weaponized, for example Ticket Master CEO try to stop subway project so that it doesn’t tunnel below his Bel Air neighborhood even though the tunnel dug very deep below surface that it won’t affect on top

Highly recommend watching this video.

what's with billionaires trying to make cautionary tales real (Metaverse, etc)

also, to quote some user from Hacker News:

His company, like 9 out of 10 YC companies, is destined to fail. That is all the poetic justice you'll ever need.

Thanks, I just made the community

!publictransport@slrpnk.net

The 200 new units of EV buses seems to consists of:

• 60 high-deck buses from Skywell
• 30 high-deck buses from Zhongtong
• 90 buses from Golden Dragon
• 20 buses from BYD

Anyway, I just made a new community to talk about public transportation in the world. Feel free to check out, thank you
