There's a direct comparison here: Birmingham is a small city
If you want to have a large city comparison, look at Berlin.
Berlin was divided after WW2 until 1989. West-Berlin, like most of West-Germany, removed all of their trams and replaced them for individual car use and buses. East-Berlin largely kept their trams.
The difference between trams and buses are huge. The „schedule“ of the major West-Berlin bus routes have become a running joke among Berliners: „You’ll wait and wait and suddenly there’s a herd of them!“. It’s bad. Really bad.
Trams are the reason I live in East-Berlin and would never, ever move to West-Berlin.
Lol. Having a US driving license means you might be qualified to safely ride a tricycle on a training course.
Can you point me to the quantifiers in your quotes or the article?
Maybe you should do something about your terrible reading comprehension: https://elt.oup.com/student/solutions/preint/grammar/grammar_03_012e
Well, I mean... this is a bit of a "both sides" thing, maybe. We're in a not too bad spot, but could do much better, both things can be true I think.
A lot of it is valid criticism, and the situation is quite dire and will be for the unforeseeable future now. And just because the UK is a neoliberal hellhole doesn't mean Germany should become one as well.
But yeah, there's also a lot of non-constructive complaining, which frequently comes from people who aren't even using public transport and just want to justify why they have ("""neeeed""") a car.
I don't think we're likely to ever see something like this take off
This has already taken off, just not with people: https://www.google.com/search?q=lastenrad+paketzustellung&tbm=isch

And yes, they are a bit of an issue, but way less than ordinary delivery vehicles parking on bike lanes and sidewalks.
Auch da steht, dass die Echtheit des Videos nicht bestätigt ist.
Verbreitest mal wieder Fake News, wie neulich die Migranten, die angeblich auf Lampedusa Cops angegriffen hätten, was du dann alles schnell gelöscht hast, gell.
Lösch das hier auch. Und deinen ganzen Hetz-Account gleich mit. Geh zu deinen Fascho-Freunden auf Telegram. Danke.
That’s a study that is nearly ten years old, and is also severely misunderstood.
Firstly, yes, Berlin hasn’t got too much to add to Germany’s GDP, but that’s not really Berlin’s fault. In 2001 Berlin went broke because of the investment East-Berlin needed, but subsequently was denied help by the federal government. Yeah, no shit, if you don’t invest in your capital which has no industry to speak of, it’s not going to end well.
Second, this statistic showed that without Berlin, Germany would be 0.2% richer, while France would be 15% poorer without Paris. What does that mean? Simply that all the economic power is concentrated at one point in France. In Germany, the economic power is more evenly spread across the country. The largest state, NRW, has a GDP of 43k€/y per capita, which today is just barely more than Berlin with 42k€/y.
Berlin’s GDP is stronger than the other East German states, the bottom regions are MVP and SA, so the graph above would be better with Berlin included.
But yeah, Berlin is a trainwreck…
They basically did that.
What people call „Rhine“ is a heavily straightened and channelized artificial water road.
Especially in the 19th century they cut off many loops and bends to make it more accessible for ships, to make the land useable and to get rid of flooding (narrator: „it didn’t work“):

(don’t have an english article, just look at the pictures)
So you thought you’d add your own inaccurate numbers, okay.
Stay out of my inbox now, thx.
What does anything of that have to do with you quoting 50/200 as 25% not 4% 😂
Really, different countries are doing research on solid-state batteries, who’da thunk.
What does that have to do with China allegedly being an „appropriation committee“?
