News & Discussion: Trams

I think monorail is to easily laughed at and is at least worth the discussion. -it runs on one beam of steel, so a monorail beam going over a road is much more subtle than what light or heavy rail would require. -this also means building over roads is much cheaper and quicker. -speed certainly isn't...

Can you explain why monorail wouldn't work?

Re: News & Discussion: Trams

Probably a stupid question, but is a monorail type arrangement out of the question? Could raise the rail to go over whatever roads it needs to go over, and then bring the height back to ground level for all stops so elevated stations aren't needed? Once at ground level you wouldn't know the line is ...

Re: News & Discussion: Trams

I always wonder what these kind of people would be like in a relationship? If you can't let go of a tree how do they cope with a breakup? #clingy

Re: News & Discussion: Trams

Having a tram down the middle of port road would make the stations much safe and more appealing for people to use. If you have seen the railway stations atm, they aren't something you feel safe at, especially not at night

Re: News & Discussion: Trams

The train line is so dingy and dated. It has such a bad stigma it almost makes sense to start again with light rail. Probably not the most practical idea. But from a "marketing" point of view. Light rail is much more appealing and in my opinion a more pleasant form of transport. I don't mi...

Re: City Squares

I agree, roads dissecting the squares are needed, but not roads going around the squares....can't agree more with what you said about the random ugly trees in the squares. Some structure would be nice. Lining the roads with trees (like frome street but smaller trees) would go a long way to making th...

If anyone is interested in a great doco, watch "the social life of small urban spaces" explains what makes a great public space, quite an old doco but very relevant still

Re: City Squares

The thing is at the moment, they aren't that well maintained and aren't particularly nice to look at.

They look tacky as they are right now, that's the main issue
