why was i cursed with the gay autism that makes you remember billboard hot 100 statistics instead of the useful autism that makes you good at engineering
I actually find it kind of hilarious that there’s basically a line queued up to summit Mt. Everest, even at one of the deadliest passes where you come across dead bodies of people who slipped and fell—something weirdly dystopian about this.
Canada’s two largest metros, Toronto and Montreal, see six trains per day in each direction that take a little more than five hours. Madrid and Barcelona are the same distance and see 35 trains per day each way, taking as little as 2 hours and 30 minutes. Canada deserves better.
There are a lot of extremely impressive things about Japanese trains, but there’s one thing that has blown me away and that could be implemented tomorrow in every city for very little money: better wayfinding.
