Calvin (from Calvin & Hobbes) sitting at a lemonade stand, smiling, with a sign that reads, “Trains and micromobility are inevitably the future of urban transportation, whether society wants it or not. CHANGE MY MIND.”

    No, I’m saying there’s a huge difference between a 15 foot turning radius and a 400 foot turning radius. Trying to put trains in the existing 50 foot x 50 foot road intersections is not going to work without moving a lot of buildings.

      15 foot turning radius

      Sounds like a forklift. Double for cars, or triple for speeders and idiots.

      400 foot turning radius

      20 meters at most. 71-931 has 20, and it’s HUGE. Or 65 units of imperialism.
