How much does a train weigh per passenger?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Depends on the train obviously, but a lot less than cars at anywhere close to capacity. Why do you ask? Just look at the Wikipedia page for whichever rolling stock you were thinking of.

Seems like there is room for improvement, but it seems to be a scary subject here.

I'm just genuinely confused what your point is. The weight of a passenger train per passenger is meaningless. I was vaguely curious that my local EMUs are 200-600kg depending on which capacity figure you use, but that information is of no use to me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

200kg/passenger is pretty amazing. That really surprise me. I would never have guessed that it would be that low.

How much emissions do cars cause per passenger and travelled distance?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Most of the people that drive feet-pushed motorized scooters are a danger, however, because of how conceited and selfish they are, as they are driving it ON THE WALKING PAVEMENT.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

Yes, because it's incredibly more dangerous for pedestrians to get hit by an E-Scooter than for an E-Scooter driver being hit by a car. /i

Nevertheless, of course no one should be an asshole in traffic, regardless of transportation mode.

As a person living in a third world country, I'm very thankful to have a car and not have to live with the horrible joke of public transport we have... And also avoid tons of robbery.

Hey what did the Aztec do to deserve that? At least make it a Ram 1500, or something 😔

[–] [email protected] 22 points 6 months ago

Cmon you're just punching down with the Aztec lol

Do horses count as sustainable transit?
