I saw a former Hanjin ship the other day that had been repainted and was now the Maersk Esmereldas. But you could see the outline of the old Hanjin logo on the side.

Is Maersk as ridiculously powerful as I think they are?

I met the daughter of the Maersk director, or board member or something, a couple years ago at a wedding reception and we went walk about their Hamburg operations but feel like I hadn't fully realised what I standing in the middle of.

Yes.

>With a fleet of more than 600 container vessels, Maersk is the world's biggest shipping company with a market share of around 16 percent. The company handles around 25 percent of all containers shipped on the key Asia-Europe route.

They also have a shitload of offshore oil rigs.

Their terminal here in LA is the one the Port of LA bigwigs always bring VIPs to.

We almost had a monorail in Jakarta but due to some political fuckery (and of course, corruption)and the debated route(as it only served certain parts of the city catered to The Upper class) construction was stopped and the Concrete pillars serve as a reminder.
There are plans to resurrect the monorail plan but then it was cancelled and replaced with another project called "LRT"

Quoted By: >>1091520

>>1091288
The Red Line was a planned east-west LRT line that was cancelled in 2015. The Red Line would have been 14.1miles long with 19 stations.

Construction of the Red Line was planned to start in 2015 and finish in 2022, with a cost expected to be at $2.9billion.

Major connections include the MARC Penn Line (commuter rail) at West Baltimore MARC and Bayview MARC (infill station), the Baltimore LRT at Howard Street/University Center, and the Baltimore Metro Subway at Inner Harbor (via a pedestrian tunnel to Charles Center Station).

A tunnel with 5 underground stations would pass by/through the neighborhoods of Poppleton, Hollins Market, Downtown, Jonestown, Little Italy, Harbor East, Fell’s Point, and Canton.

The alignment going east from Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services:
>East along Security Boulevard.
>Runs parallel along Interstate 70.
>A tunnel going south under Cooks Lane.
>East along Edmondson Avenue, Franklin Street, and onto the median of US Route 40 (former Interstate 170).
>A tunnel going south on Fremont Avenue, east on Lombard Street, south on President Street, east on Fleet Street, south on Boston Street.
>Emerges at Boston Street and Hudson Street, and continues east along Boston Street.
>Runs north on a separate right-of-way to the west of Haven Street.
>Right-of-way turns east just south of Lombard Street towards Bayview Campus.
>North on Bayview Boulevard, and parallel along Interstate 895 to Lombard Street (site of Bayview MARC).

In June 2015, Maryland’s governor, Larry Hogan cancelled the Red Line and reallocated the funding towards road construction across the state.

Dutchman here. The Red Line should have been subway rapid transit anyway. Baltimore deserves an extension of it's subway system.

Trams should fuction as an extra layer on the basic transit network, not as the basic transit network itself.

Given there are people stood in the street watching, and many of those cars are clearly taking the most retarded routes, I assume that's some sort of classic car rally.

Although as it's Swindon it could just be a typical Friday evening's entertainment, I don't know.

Well, in Wuppertal the situation is a little bit difficult.
It's a valley ("Tal") along a river ("Wupper").

So there wasn't much room for infrastructure in the first place. There is a regular railway line, but it's inconvenient for local public transport. With the streets being very narrow, busses weren't really an option, so they went with the "Schwebebahn" that largely resides above the river, where still was room at the time.
