Dont laugh buses only do this when they're extremely distressed

This happens when the busses lose their pheromone trail and follow each other until they die of exhaustion.

"no way to prevent this" says only transportation authority where this routinely happens

I guess bus drivers aren't very good at the snake game

Another win for trains: Bus roundabout failure.

Is there something like a roundabout for trains?

[-] Carl@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

i don't get it, are the buses automated leading to this?

I want to ride the bus cube

Moscow has the better Red Square, all things considered

If you ever played factorio, you know you should avoid 4 way intersections as much as possible to avoid deadlocks, specially when you have a lot of trains on the network

An ant mill is an observed phenomenon in which a group of army ants, separated from the main foraging party, lose the pheromone track and begin to follow one another, forming a continuously rotating circle. This circle is commonly known as a "death spiral" because the ants might eventually die of exhaustion.

i'm really glad the wiki for ant mill led to the wiki for rat kings so I could learn that The Last of Us zombie was a reference to actual real life horrors

If you want better bandwidth, you need a wider bus.

Looks like some civil engineers need to watch a Factorio train tutorial smh, roundabout 101

[-] volcel_olive_oil@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago

we must reinvent the bus so that it can strafe

instead of each wheel; a little tank t34
