A single train with a single crew can transport more people in a day when travelling at higher speed.
This is running costs. The capital costs are irrelevant.

It’s cheaper to run a high speed service than a low speed one. You can transport more people with the same number of staff and trains because it runs faster. The solution isn’t to run an artificially cheaper low speed service along side, it’s to run the high speed service in a sane way.
The problem isn’t how they’re constructed, it’s how they’re run, and this article is basically just complaining about SNCF without realising it. They run bad timetables and aim for high occupancy rather than transporting more people. Jon Worth has better writing on the topic IMO.
Should it not be double foldable? It has two folds
Which part of what I said do you disagree with?
exactly, either way you need to make sure there isn’t any oncoming traffic.
If there isn’t space to overtake two cyclists side by side, there isn’t space to overtake one cyclist. If there’s another car coming towards you while you overtake, you’d be endangering the one cyclist.
There’s a facebook group for that line, perhaps they could help you: https://www.facebook.com/groups/upbelvideresub/
Traffic flows best at 20mph. Here’s a scientific study that proves it (pdf warning)
Lower speeds have a huge impact on the pedestrian you hit. There’s a big difference between the fatality rates at 30mph Vs 20mph
Gotta have at lease a little bit of victim blaming

I was on my phone so I decided to just assume that lemmy would auto link it for me, but it didn’t. So I’ve added it manually now for you.
They’re @[email protected] if you want to keep it in the fediverse
I live somewhere that very much isn’t car dependant, but there’s still too many of them and it’s still shitty. But I do agree that for those times that they’re still necessary, the smaller the better.
At least at one major auto maker, environmental and serious health concerns are outweighing its aesthetic appeal.
Are they going to stop making cars with huge front hoods which are hugely dangerous to pedestrians? Or stop marketing their cars as if they’re meant to be driven dangerously?
Are these people all paying the $50,000 fine for selling to early?
Speak for yourself. I’m not pulling this out of my arse, I’m telling you things I just happen to know.
