This initial segment laid the foundation for what could come to be an intensive network of metro lines.

Expansion and Growth

Since its launch, the Delhi Metro has multiplied exponentially. As of 2023, the community covers over 390 kilometers, connecting more than 290 stations across more than one strain. The gadget's increase may be attributed to strategic planning, authorities' guide, and public calls for. New strains had been constructed to reach numerous components of the city, consisting of the outskirts, ensuring accessibility for citizens in both urban and suburban areas.

Shopping complexes, workplace areas, and residential buildings have sprung up close to metro stations, creating a vibrant urban surroundings.

Furthermore, the metro device has generated employment opportunities, now not simply inside DMRC but also in sectors consisting of creation, renovation, and service. It performs a crucial position in assisting the livelihoods of hundreds, thereby contributing to the neighborhood economic system.

In which I SkyTrain-post about: the Dunsmuir Tunnel.

Or, actually, why the SkyTrain network as a whole feels like a goofy little toy train, while also being a really cool example of quirky '80s technology being pushed right to its absolute limits. But first, some context is useful — specifically, the urban freeway plan for Vancouver, which, unlike many cities in North America, was largely aborted.

↑↑↑ This is what they wanted to do to part of the City of Vancouver…

…and this is the overarching plan that was mostly defeated by an organised left in Vancouver. (The few areas that weren't saved, well, those deserve their own posts.) So, with a massive freeway plan being shot down for the city centre, what was the plan going to be for transit? Well, after some amount of messing around with express buses throughout the '70s on the part of the regional transit network, which was operated by BC Hydro before BC Transit took it over… …Vancouver got chosen to host Expo 86. Which was themed around transportation, being named "Transportation and Communication: World in Motion — World in Touch".

Which meant: well shit, maybe now's a good time to make up for having dodged the whole highway bullet. However, using a normal heavy rail network, on entirely new infrastructure, with human drivers, was untenable, because: I guess I need to introduce the Socreds.

I'm not going to get into the ideology of social credit, which the Socreds never actually ended up being able to give effect to, or the somewhat unusual conservatism of WAC Bennett's long administration, but effectively, by the early '80s, the Socreds had pivoted to plain old neoliberalism, which meant: cutting costs all over and also keeping unions out of whatever they could. (As an aside, if you've ever got the time, read about the Solidarity protests of 1983 in BC, because the sheer intensity of the Bill Bennett administration's fuckery on that front is a pretty clear demonstration of shock doctrine.) And yes, if you're keeping track, that's William Bennett for 20 years → 3 years of not William &c. → Bill Bennett for 11 years → Wilhelmus Vander Zalm for 5 years. Lots of William happening. And all of those assorted Williams were Socred Premiers. But how do you cut costs and also keep unions away from a brand new metro system? Well, Urban Transit Development Corporation, a Crown Corporation (basically a state-owned enterprise, but Canadian) in Ontario had an idea:

A tiny train. But it runs frequently. It's also automated, and uses a linear induction motor for propulsion. That's kinda critical to the fact that the SkyTrain works whatsoever, really, given other constraints I'm about to get into. And what else can one do to save costs on a rail system?

Reuse old alignments, like the Central Park Line of the British Columbia Electric Railway.

But what saves even more money?

Reusing old infrastructure. Basically, until just a few years before the SkyTrain started operation, Canadian Pacific ran long-distance trains, all the way out to Toronto (and sometimes further), through the Dunsmuir Tunnel from Waterfront Station, which is now the "main" hub for TransLink, linking the SeaBus, Expo Line, West Coast Express. Canada Line, and many bus routes. But that got shut down, to make way for literally slicing the Tunnel in half height-wise — and thus letting two tracks use the same tunnel, which was built tall enough for old steam trains. Which means: you've got trains constrained to a fairly tiny loading gauge, which, sure, maybe you'd want to build longer platforms to compensate for that, but:

No. Hence automation. For example, try to find a precise timetable for the Expo Line anywhere on the Internet, without screwing around with APIs or whatever. You can't, last I checked. The design philosophy resulting from the "let's spend as little as goddamn possible while still having a grade separated rapid transit system" approach means that, well, we've got trains so tiny in loading gauge terms that you can fit two in a barely modified single-track rail tunnel, which are barely even 80m long, which still could carry 25,700 people per hour per direction, solely thanks to completely absurd frequencies. Like, TransLink deserves to be yelled at over the lack of redundancy in such a critical transportation backbone, and the provincial governments that they rely on for funding deserve it even more, but it's. Well. Kinda interesting how the most ridiculous possible political pressures resulted in, like, a fairly functional transit system, via the weirdest specifications possible. However, this is also why, not even 40 years after the Expo Line opened for regular service, it's already close to its limits. They were far too cautious and non-ambitious in their design for the system, chasing ideologies of Fiscal Responsibility™ instead of future-proofing, and now we've got transit infrastructure that's going to require redundancy to the tune of an entire extra metro line in the northwest/southeast direction eventually, even if other connections should be able to pick up the slack in the medium term.

The crazy thing to me is that destroying the rail strike and constantly cutting costs in the name of profit is such a 'cut off your nose to spite your face' move. Labor is as squeezed as it can be squoze, most of the people currently trapped in the trains are gonna be retiring out in a few years, and as scary as the specter of automation is for workers it's clear that the railroads won't even make the capital improvements necessary to actually make it work. If the railroads run out of men and women willing to drive the trains the military doesn't have a corps of rail soldiers large enough to do what they did with the ATC strike, there aren't enough trucks in the country to handle the loads the railroads carry, and if there were would you like the specter of that many hazmat trucks anywhere near your town with their rate of accidents? Remember, East Palestine was *four* tankers and it's spreading fallout for a hundred miles, think of what just one would do in even a relatively small metro area.

We're a few years away from the very real possibility of freight rail completely failing in America with a long lead up of disasters like this and corporate America and the lib politicians that work for them are more willing to burn with their precinct than they are even attempt to meet labor's demands and provide basic quality of life and safety. No trains doesn't mean 'supply chain shortages' like we saw with toilet paper or food runs or some electronics during the height of the pandemic; it means power plants turn off because they didn't get their unit train of coal, basic food stops showing up in supermarkets becuase no grain is getting sent to the flour mills, and your water is no longer potable because your city didn't recieve its chlorine shipment for water purification (that it maybe can't use anyway because again, no trains has a decent chance of meaning no power depending on what your grid is powered by). It means you and all your friends and neighbors are starving and cold and it's 100% the government's fault for simply not stepping aside when they could've. These are the sort of conditions that lead to revolutions and for now the US establishment is willing to kick the can down this road because they're too cheap to force the freight carriers to give their employees sick days and force them to run trains at a safe length. This is a death cult

I promise you that freight rail is far more important than you think. It is the lifeblood of all industry in America. All raw materials and the ingredients to make them run on America's shrinking rail network. I mean everything from refined petroleum products (ALL OF THEM- gasoline, plastic pellets, etc.) to sheet steel to grain, all of it is moved from industry to industry on freight trains. Right now, this essential service is under the thumb of wall street. It is a noose both around the neck of the workers who keep it running and the rest of us who rely on it. Corporate America is constantly cutting costs to maximize profits- that means less maintenance, fewer crews, and a greater burden on everyone else. That's why there was a narrowly-averted rail strike, and that's why an entire train was derailed in one of the greatest environmental disasters in American history.

The Future of Real Estate in Bandra East: Why Investing in a 2 BHK Flat is a Smart Choice

Bandra East, a locality that was once overshadowed by its glamorous neighbor Bandra West, has now emerged as one of Mumbai’s most promising real estate hubs. Over the last decade, this area has seen rapid infrastructural development, positioning itself as a key residential and commercial center. With its strategic location, proximity to the Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC), and evolving lifestyle amenities, Bandra East offers a compelling opportunity for property investors. Among the various property options available, investing in a 2 BHK flat in Bandra East stands out as a smart choice for both end-users and investors. Here's why.

Moreover, the upcoming infrastructure projects, such as the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) and the proposed coastal road, are expected to drastically cut travel time to other parts of the city. These developments will have a direct positive impact on property prices, especially for a 2 BHK flat in Bandra East, as it remains a highly sought-after unit configuration for both small families and professionals.

3. High Demand and Appreciating Property Values

The demand for residential properties in Bandra East has been steadily increasing due to its proximity to BKC. The area’s relative affordability, compared to Bandra West or other premium South Mumbai locations, makes it a preferred choice for homebuyers and investors alike. In the past few years, property prices in Bandra East have appreciated consistently, driven by its strategic location, infrastructural growth, and evolving lifestyle quotient.

A 2 BHK flat in Bandra East is particularly attractive because it caters to a wide range of buyers – from young professionals to nuclear families. This demand ensures that property prices continue to rise, making it a lucrative investment. Whether you plan to live in the flat or rent it out, a 2 BHK flat in this locality offers excellent value appreciation and steady rental income.

5. A Balanced Investment Opportunity

For investors looking for a balanced investment opportunity that offers growth potential without the exorbitant price tags of other prime localities, a 2 BHK flat in Bandra East is the perfect choice.

The locality’s future growth is secured by upcoming infrastructure projects, steady demand from professionals working in and around BKC, and increasing lifestyle amenities. With property prices set to appreciate in the coming years, investing in a 2 BHK flat in Bandra East is a smart financial decision that offers both immediate comfort and long-term gains.

Conclusion

High-speed rail (HSR) can be profitable by: 

Connecting major cities: The most successful HSR routes connect large cities and are optimally spaced apart to compete with air and road travel. 

Station location: Stations should be near population and economic centers. 

Speed: HSR should have a fast average speed with fewer stops and clear paths. 

Commercial freedom: HSR should have commercial freedom to maximize profit. 

Diversifying revenue: HSR can generate revenue from multiple sources, such as restaurants, shops, hotels, and apartments near stations. 

Value capture: Governments can impose taxes or assessments on the increased value of land near new HSR lines. 

Leasing land: Rail systems can lease land for development. 

Attracting passengers: HSR should be competitive with driving and flying. For example, the Brightline West trip from Las Vegas to Los Angeles suburbs takes just over 2 hours, which is an attractive alternative to the 4-hour drive. 

Reducing operating costs: HSR can reduce operating costs by requiring fewer onboard staff and managing maintenance and electricity costs. 

Creating jobs: HSR can create good-paying union jobs. 

Economic activity: HSR can induce statewide economic activity by pumping money back into local and regional economies.

Hey sorry OP I'm about to hijack the shit out of this post because I've been thinking about light rails and high-speed rail systems for a long time.

Like even if it did lower the value of property in a city good? Property values in cities and most of the US are much too high. They're unaffordable for anythong but the most bad guy in a kids' movie corporations whose entire MO is to buy property and NOT USE IT! I hope that investment crashes on you hedge fund baby, I hope it sucks and you eat the cost and cry about it to your rich daddy, me, me I'll be biying that shit for pennies on the dollar and building a place to live that i can raise a family in and we'll be able to get everywhere cause of the cool as hell sky train!

Like I get that a light rail brings in people and pumps money into transit hub city economies and allows people to get places faster and more efficiently and is overall a good thing and like seeing a raised up light rail overhead is cool future shit but like if it did lower property value in a city I think that's great, I think a thing that does something should be judged more by its intended consequence than the unintended one. Also like fuck every guy that owns every high rise in every major metro area and I hope the value of those eyesores goes down. Cry about it more while I ride this super cool super efficient train system that can take me where I'm going in like 3 minutes. Also like fuck the plane industry too! Motherfuckers wanna get places quick we have countries who's entire map is laid out with light rail systems we can fucking learn from them and not burn up thousands of gallons of fuel to get from point a to be in 12 hours cramped in a room with 20k stranges and their crying g babies unable to get up and stretch my legs? Fuck that give me cool fast trains!

Also, the crime thing is just dressed up racism and the idea only poor needy people take the trains cause they're probably used to the America brained Gass pilled highwaymaxed bullshit. Also, if I can't buy my precious big truck, how will people know how successful I am and how much money I spend on gas every day?

It's all just deep rooted american exceptionalism capitalist dogma bullshit.

All I want is a cool raised train system that connects every major city in the US. And then for each smaller city to build the infrastructure to connect their existing rails to those hubs so that we could take the train anywhere in the US. Also Maybe while we're at it we could nationalise our transit system so that busses actually run every 10 minutes like our parents and grandparents said they did and I'm not outside freezing my tits off for an hour cause the bus drivers gotta chat with everyone while I'm just trying to get to my ficking job!!!

A Weird thing I have noticed people always complain about when a metro and light rail system expansion is proposed is the idea that the metro system will lower property values when typically they do the opposite for cities. Like I get concerns around gentrification but the whole fear of property values being lowered by public transit really seems like thinly vailed racism because white suburbanites tend to associate public transit with black people
