    Oh nein! Eine neue #GadgetBahn fällt aus, eine autonom fahrende, an einem dt. Flughafen...

    Ist ja noch fast nie passiert... wer hätte damit rechnen können?

    Wer hatte eigentlich die brillante Idee, zwischen Terminal 2 und 3 ein anderes System einzusetzen als zwischen Terminal 1 und zwei und auch etwas anderes als zwischen Terminal 1 und der Shoppingmall. (Ja, alles verschiedene, an einem Campus)

  5. Den Begriff der #gadgetbahn mag ich ja eigentlich nicht. Erinnert mich zu sehr an Politik. Und da tauchen die auch gerne auf. Doch eigentlich hat fast jedes System seine Berechtigung, was ich im folgenen Artikel darlegen will. #öpnv #seilbahn #maglev #monorail #magnetbahn

  9. This is gadgetbahn gold by @philip

    In the 1950s, the Victorian government was seriously considering a 40-seat helicopter bus service from the roof of Southern Cross Station to Moorabbin and Essendon Airports: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9Ybkpk3KaU

    It also predicted that, by 2003, helipads would be built all over Melbourne for the thousands of people commuting by helicopter bus each day.

    Needless to say, it never happened.

  11. @EUCommission This is almost the very definition of a #Gadgetbahn... no better than a private car or robo-taxi without route flexibility!

    If you want public transit to succeed while efficiently transporting the masses and reducing dependence on private vehicles, then fund cycling, buses, trams and light rail instead.

  12. @EUCommission ah, another #Gadgetbahn!

    Let's invest all public money in that shit! /s

  16. Can someone please explain to, why #GadgetBahn concepts are apparently becoming more popular in right-wing/libertarian circles? What gives? Yes, I've seen the #AdamSomething videos. But still...
    Also why #maglev of all things? The one tech where we do have apples-for-apples comparison data in ridership and economical terms.

  18. @jon light rail in Irish&British context refers more to the signalling& control of railways than the mass of the vehicles

    But it is a #gadgetBahn

  20. #AzadiRail day 8 was : enjoying the flaire of :flag_krd: #Hewlêr / #Erbil and recovering from an exhausting travel day - served with vegan food in the bazar and a cursed #GadgetBahn .

  22. One day in :flag_krd: #Hewlêr / #Erbil : I spent most of the day walking around the cozy bazar. Later, I ensured to have #AzadiRail #GadgetBahn content served from 🇮🇶 Iraqi #Kurdistan : the Hewlêr cable car - sadly out if order.

  24. can't wait to watch 1,300 people get off a Ouigo and cram into one of these

    laprovence.com/article/politiq

    paraphrased: "people have to wait ages, sometimes half an hour, between their TGV arriving and the shuttle into the town centre, and the last TGV of the day arrives after the shuttle has stopped running"

    any idiot like me might be tempted to say, hmm, you need a better timetable. but luckily i am not in charge because really what they need is TINY TRAINS

  26. Of course in Bologna, I have to try the local #gadgetbahn. The Marconi Express. Which is technically not a monorail even if marketed as such. Not going all the way to the airport, that is unnecessarily expensive. Just to Lazzaretto and back. Sadly, you can’t even look through a forward window.

  27. What sorcery is this? Monorail rubber tyre tram? Excellent idea, or just another stupid #gadgetbahn? ”Can’t have steel wheels on steel rails, that would not be futuristic at all!” Rubber tyre manufacturers active here? In #Padova

  28. Oh boy. The 29th of March 2025 there will be a symposium about “sustainable mobility in the German-Dutch border region” in the old station of Kranenburg (on the disused Nijmegen-Kleve #CrossBorderRail line).

    The icing on the cake: there will be a live demonstration of an "innovative monorail technology”🤪called the "MONOCAB". This is a gyrostabilised 4-6 person autonomous pod which should run on a single track.

    Tl;dr: another useless #GadgetBahn project.

  29. Speaking of #Futurama, the irony is the writers put that in the title sequences because it’s fun … but they would also see that it’s a #gadgetbahn and achieves a lot less per dollar than high speed rail, or even just a standard metro.

    A new metro today would be built with the same “boring” technology, but bigger and more “luxury” space, and would use driverless trains, and run at 100 km/h or 130km/h.

    Not only fast, but carries hundreds of seats every 3 minutes, more or less.

  30. Hoy, en #gadgetbahn, #trenes de alta velocidad a baterías. Los trenes a baterías SOLO están bien en líneas donde la electrificación no es posible. Y una ruta de alta velocidad DEBE estar electrificada.
