This is the future I want

And? Is there a lawnmower tram?

[–] urquell@lemm.ee 12 points 11 months ago

Just a standard one

I really ask myself why this is not a thing. Because the costs of mowing the grass are one argument of cities against having grass on the tracks.

What if you could affix a lawnmower attachment to a normal tram and have it mow the grass on its normal route?

I briefly passed by Liège-Guillemins last year and walked a bit around to see it was still in construction.

I'm glad to see it's now working.

Also, this made me chuckle a bit.

Something about that poster strikes me as being somewhat… derivative…

It's a noble goal and a good message but it's kind of ruined by the smaller patronizing text. It's weird to tell people that the tram always has priority, but the people's security is its priority. They should pick one.

30 metres to stop is pretty good performance though. A freight train with Belgian braking rules would take up to 2km to stop.

Looking really fun to play on

Especially blindfolded with headphones in

This is neat! We've got lots of trams in Cologne, but i've never seen grassy tram tracks around here.

Ah yes, the T1 normal line to just a standard destination

[–] danieljuschus@feddit.org 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

In case you were wondering: that terminus is at the football stadium of the club of Liège which is called Standard

[–] kwomp2@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago
