Given that the exact same question is the current top post but for driving instead of transit, I feel this question was needed.
My answer: I saw some guys hooking up a Raclette Grill to the outlet in an otherwise empty German intercity rail waggon. They had it unpacked in one of these 4 person seats with a small table. No idea if that could work or if draws too much power from the board net. I just headed on to the next waggon.
I did not expect the sheer amount of posts from Americans about mentally ill people or drug users. I taught this would get more vibes, like people moving weird furniture in trams, or people in weird costumes, or stuff like that.
I’m not sure how it is in the larger cities, but a lot of the US is car centric. Since a lot of people with cars drive, it means that you see a higher percentage of people who can’t afford cars in public transportation. That leads to more sketchy stuff happening on public transports, which leads to more people who have the option avoiding it.
My father from the greater New York area still refuses to ride our local light rail here in Seattle because he doesn’t understand that it’s actually a really low key experience, with clean, safe, fairly quiet cars (for the most part), and relatively efficient service at low prices and all that. He thinks it’s all like the New York Subway or NJ Transit.
He’s going on that light rail next time he’s here.
I have been the doing thd Moving by bus. Not even by tram. With two changes. I won’t do it again.
