Some guy brings up Singapore, I talk about Singapore, and the guy says it is not on topic.

Apparently, road design has nothing to do with whether public transport is involved or not and in what form.

That's the Internet.

To be fair, buses don't solve last-mile situations like this one, unless you expect the route to become walkable by reduction in car numbers. Even then, I wouldn't begrudge the busy housewife avoiding a long walk with a kid in tow.

Whoa! Cool it.

The mandate isn't from "government". Apparently, the government failed to do much about pollution, so a regulatory body was set up by the courts, which body did some good things (ban diesels) but also some hamhanded things like judge only based on technology age rather than the odometer. Throwing away a ton of steel and manufacturing that has had minimal utilization isn't going to help any.

You should've dissed the people who made scrapping the dedicated bus lane an election issue some years ago. I guess that never made it to the newspapers, and hence wasn't discussed online either.

There are intrepids everywhere! But I agree, this seems like too busy a place to be intrepid at.

Yes, some places are much better than others. Tamilnadu in South India probably has the best public and private bus system as well as the best road quality. Others even in South India are only somewhat good.

Do you even read full messages? They limited car registrations, and have good public transport, because they have to when they are that small.

That junction is unsafe only to car brains. That cyclist was riding the wrong way, which somehow doesn't count?

That elevated road was made to appease outsider car brains, and ate up the space that could have satisfied whatever people here say should have been put up for the benefit of laypersons (who seem to have the fortitude to bear the elevated road hogging space there).

Yet, that elevated road is all right for people here. Right? Otherwise, how could a car-brain third-worldliness pornographer have parked his personal ride on the road above and recorded this!

I think your ire is misdirected, but I agree with the ire. The problem is the elevated road there! It serves car-brain, and that space could have been put to good use for the "low income" people as somebody put it, instead of catering to the "high income" people zooming above in cars.

He he. Have you lived there? They started limiting permits for new cars to the number of old cars taken off the road, for example. And they are small enough to have very good public transport. And centtalized enough to control all aspects and plan cohesively.

Do you know of any large region that has done it nearly as well? What is that region's per-capita income and its population density?

I remember glancing at NodeBB (in my ignorance, I am averse to node.js). Activitypub seems to be an integration in it rather than its basis.

HK population-dense And yet, they prioritized roads? Car brain right there?

... given market rate for the land diverted Why should anybody agree to give up their land for roads? These might not be empty lands possessed decades ago, it might be ancestral family land for centuries. I don't like that those lands are uncultivated, but putting down asphalt liberally everywhere is car-brain.

Urban or rural? This video is from rural land off the highway, from the looks of it.

I wouldn't play down the rashness in urban traffic, I too am a sufferer!
