  • There are lots of other things where people say “there are millions of us let’s do x together” where nothing happens. As example, plenty of people likes old cars and wish that car companies will build cars like in the past and nothing happens.

    I think it would be easier for existing cities to prioritize public transport in new areas that are being built in the city. It would be a smaller step, people can move there and still keep their job.







  • My company also uses both. We create support tickets in ServiceNow but it is also used for requesting access to different programs and network drives. It has been used for a couple of years and I have still not figured out how to see what I have access to, which feels like a basic feature.







  • Europe has an extensive passenger train network, but most of it is not high speed rail.

    I looked on travelling from Madrid to Paris and it takes 2 hours if you fly (and then some time before for travelling from the city center to the airport, luggage check-in etc.), 11 hours with train and 13.5 hours with car. I think there are high speed rails between Madrid and Barcelona and in France, but still it takes that long time. The cost is similar.

    Trains are really good but they have limitations, each type of travel has its advantages.

    When I checked how long distance it was between Columbia, SC and Baltimore, MD I realised it was much shorter than Madrid - Paris. So I checked Munich - Paris instead which is only a 10 km longer than Columbus - Baltimore. It takes 7 hours with train and 8.5 - 9 hours with car. The flight takes 1 hour 35 minutes but the estimated time for travelling from central Munich to the airport, transfer time, flight, transfer and travel to central Paris is 5 hours.
