  • Many European cities have rail networks while similar-sized UK and Irish cities remain bus-dependent

  • I don't say trams are bad, but it's just dumb that OP seems to demonize busses that are totally fine solutions in some contexts. If you plan a new city SimCity style, sure, go for trains first. But real cities are more difficult and have a history, and it rarely makes sense to throw all of that overboard just to have the most efficient (currently) solution

  • I mean, there are so many particularities in each place, it's just too simplistic to discard them. What does the existing infrastructure look like and how can we use it best? How expensive would it be to install a different system, where does the money come from, and what else can the city not afford for that?

    Another interesting case would be Kyoto, which relies mostly on buses although there are some train routes. But when they built their subways, there were a lot of construction delays because workers found ancient objects, had to call some archaeologists etc. So the city gave up after only 2 lines. Above-ground trains are also relatively rare although they exist. But you would have the same issue, existing buildings and cultural heritage.

    It's just a complex issue. Both can be totally viable solutions, depending on context and implementation. My point is that it's kind of dumb to start raging against buses now as we have different issues.

  • Sure, if you only consider that one aspect. But I thought we tried to move past such singular economics, rather than just replacing profit with resource efficiency. It's much more complex than that of course.

  • Are you an academic? These job types are attempts by administration to precarize academic work.

    Adjunct is a last resort option, you can still stay in the system but have very little prospect of ever getting a permanent job. It signals to others that the uni doesn't really want you but takes your labour if you work hard and cheap enough, so it's harder to apply elsewhere. Some universities try to pivot into this, so that most of their staff loses negotiation power and is easy to get rid of and replace.

    Visiting is code for limited contract or unpaid locally with funding from somewhere else. The university doesn't complain if they get free labour with no strings attached, but it's not like the majority of people do this out of choice. Sure, if you're full prof somewhere, your can also visit your bro in a nice city for a semester, but that's the exception.
