It’s great that stronger TSP is now a political priority.
Unfortunately, our $3B+ tramway will STILL take 46-min to go 10km, slower than the bus. This is due to:
- “Vision Zero” speed limits of 35 midblocks, 25 intersections, 15 platforms
- speed limits and gradients enforced by unnecessary CBTC
Ok it is hilarious that they installed CBTC on a tramway. Who the fuck thought that was the thing to do?
Yeah. I'm not sure why they're driving the trains slower. I think this is the biggest reason outside TSP.
It’s partly because CBTC is enforcing the max speed (red triangle) with a penalty brake. So operators drive +-5kmh under to avoid that, given the constantly fluctuating speed limits on the line
