Big infrastructure investments are usually under-valued and & over-criticized while in the planning stage. It's much easier to envision the here and now costs and inconveniences, and far more difficult to imagine fully the eventual benefits.

Re: News & Discussion: O-Bahn
The kerbing looks to be quite shallow for guide-wheeled operation. Will it be sufficient enough or will the drivers need to navigate the curve manually?

They are to mount the arch.

Ps shuz is your username setup to try and break websites?
This site should have never allowed those brackets in your username, it is asking to break everything.

Re: News & Discussion: O-Bahn
As a former driver from about 10 years back, I'm not at all impressed with the shallow grade of the track. Not impressed at all.

Re: News & Discussion: O-Bahn
Not necessarily, but if you've been reading this forum for a few years you would have been exposed to a lot of evidence that a NE freeway would be a bad result compared to the wide reaching and high capacity PT the OBahn provides.citywatcher wrote: ↑Mon Dec 04, 2017 10:27 pmDoes better mean agreeing with youmonotonehell wrote:Surely you've been reading this forum long enough to know better?
If all those people who currently use the OBahn were in cars or busses on a freeway and roads there would be a bumper to bumper snarl every peak period.
