Oh neat! I wonder why they got removed... Oh it looks like it was based on a "faulty" assumption they were worse than busses. Huh, weird how that happened.

I love trams and it sounds like the reasoning for removing them was bogus. I would not be surprised if there's some explanation hidden away in ~~dutch~~ danish somewhere

Anyway they got donated to egytp apparently

edit: mixed up clogs and uhhh windmills?

I only went to Copenhagen once. The bus I was on clipped the mirror of another bus and the bus drivers got out and had a fist fight.

Copenhagen has decent public transport, as long as you don't mind the trains being old and half the signaling systems not working. The modal share is quite low for cars because Copenhagen is flat (and compact enough) that you can basically bike anywhere within 30 minutes (as long as you live in Copenhagen). This is also changing however, as property prices have been skyrocketing since 2008 (but really kicked into overdrive in 2020) and people are slowly being priced out of living within reasonable biking distance. Thus, biking to work has now taken on a class characteristic, which nobody in this place is talking about.

Also, there is supposed to be some new tramlines being openened in early 2025, which I'm looking forward to.

It's just weird for /c/urbanism to be dunking on Copenhagen. Are we gonna dunk on Rotterdam too?

Sure Copenhagen is slightly less than perfect, but it should be a model to all the Delhis and Austins of the world.

We should actually critique things for not being good, even if other things are worse.

Random shot at Delhi wtf

Delhi metro is apparently really good but anti-Indian is necessary, I guess

[-] Hexboare@hexbear.net 5 points 11 hours ago

A standard metro system?

I haven't been able to find the modal mix of the greater Copenhagen urban or metropolitan areas, not the 10 km by 10 km (in area) municipality

With a bit more than 500 cars per 1000 persons and 42 billion km driven by cars in 2023, I'm not sure where Danes are driving that ~12,000 km a year

Nascar, they just love it

in a few decades you'll get to repost this with the caption "copenhagen used to have snow"

[-] Hexboare@hexbear.net 7 points 11 hours ago

In a few decades Copenhagen will probably have a lot more snow, similar to the impact on the Great Lakes region in North America.

In a hundred years Copenhagen will either have a huge amount of snow, or rain, and/or periods of severe drought where you don't get much of either of those.

see now i have to come clean and admit that i didn't at all check the output of an appropriately conditioned regional climate model before posting

what're your thoughts on the clathrate gun?

[-] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 9 points 12 hours ago

If Texas is any indication, it might just get more extreme instead

[-] context@hexbear.net 5 points 12 hours ago

good point if greenland meltwaters disrupt the gulf stream then my comment will look quite foolish 30 years from now

[-] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 4 points 12 hours ago

You're going to need to start saying 25 now, 2025 is less than 40 days away

[-] context@hexbear.net 4 points 12 hours ago

i was thinking "in a few decades" not necessarily "by 2050" but i take your point, that train's already left the station

[-] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 4 points 12 hours ago

Sorry, in two different comment chains

[-] KillAllHippies@hexbear.net 6 points 13 hours ago

That's clever.
