@rubberducky@noauthority.social that makes me more sad out of capitalism. Seeing how rail is like 4x cheaper for freight than trucks are. Rail is efficient, powerful and cheap.
yes some lines make sense to get rid of. But at least here it’s a lot of shit lobbying and mismanagement of the rail network.
Even if people don’t want to get on it because “I don’t want to be next to someone poor” or whatever. It’s still good for cargo and military use. Not everything obviously but mass cargo.

@rubberducky@noauthority.social Like the Tesla factory near Berlin. Although I don’t think they use it for cars. They have a dedicated train station for the factory. Although that is more for the workers there because. Unsurprisingly. Trains are better at carrying people than one car per person and making up a massive parking lot. 6 times a day. For free anyone can get in at stops in Berlin and ride out into Brandenburg to the Tesla factory at Grünheide. There’s other stops too but mostly used by Tesla workers.
