The "industry" has no business making such demands in the first place smh.

FACO (Ford Always Chickens Out)?

I don't think Harper is the same, let alone worse, than PP. Even if PP might've been an improvement over Trudeau in some ways, I didn't support him primarily because of his anti-MAiD views and the possibility of cancelling transit funding (non-negotiable for line 2). Those 2 things alone were...

I see 1 in that last picture (the 1st pic got posted twice) :D Sucks the H4s are being targeted more than T1s though. :confused:

There was the Trudeau era which left the country in a dire state, and now the Carney era, which has yet to improve the country back to pre-Trudeau levels. Homelessness & housing crisis went through the roof under Trudeau's watch. More like a world-class immigration system (not "open borders...

"Even" under Harper? The Harper era was better than anything that followed so far.

Seems dubious to predict the exact time of the year that X thing will be completed, rather than just predicting the year itself, when that year is still a few years away.

hbout Moscow?

REM is definitely not a gadgetbahn, it is a conventional rail system with the only caveat that it's completely disconnected from any other rail network. It's the legacy metro system that's more of a gadgetbahn with its rubber tire technology. As for having 4 rails, that's fairly standard on...

Yeah, underground stations are probably even more complex to build (plus they still require tunnelling to allow them to be built), but above-ground stations shouldn't be more complex? How's the progress with the underground stations now?

Assuming tunnelling is the lion's share of work for building a new line, and seeing as tunnelling apparently just started now, the early 2030s opening date seems questionable.

The 7400s are nicknamed "slowboxes", but many current buses (i.e. Novas) are just as bad, so annoying when the back door closes so slowly when there are only a few seconds of green remaining, inevitably making the bus just miss the green, and start moving right when it turns yellow, only to have...

Having a corporate brand should not supersede employees' comfort, but rather be designed to accommodate it (i.e. have company uniforms that are comfortable for the working conditions). And I doubt wearing a full suit soaked in sweat would improve their image, either.

Yeah, I can't imagine it either, almost the same thing as a Fishbowl with an S50 (I'll see myself out now, lol). Funny, I feel the same about your confident assertion (and secret wish) that the new trains will be delayed to oblivion and the T1s will be around forever, adding insult to injury to...

Also make it socially acceptable for employees to wear shorts & t-shirts (be it a company uniform or not) when it's hot outside, the last thing anyone wants is to be sweaty & uncomfortable during their shift. Walking to the office in jeans, a suit & tuxedo when it's +30 would be a nightmare.

Yeah, I didn't bother including the RTS since it was the only exception with a rear door lift, all other lift-equipped buses had a front door lift. I don't remember which buses were the 1st to have push bars, now that I think of it you're probably right that the 'bowls, Classics, D901/40s...

Passengers aren't supposed to stand infront of the white line (which the front door steps definitely are) while in motion anyway. I was never a fan of the kneel function because it just doesn't look right when a bus isn't standing straight & horizontal, and I'm not aware of it being a thing on...

As long as the new Hungarian government doesn't turn their country into the same situation as much of the EU (i.e. France/UK) over the past decade...

Depends what happens in 2030 & beyond.

If there were H4s available to convert even after 2018, there could've been H5s too, if it weren't for the c-word against them. They could've kept a few more H4/5s for future conversion for that scenario. Or they could've converted one of the H4s that were still in storage at that point. Hell...
