Then that’s impossible because I know for a fact that long distance trains have windows. But also, RENFE incident dataset is publicly available and updated in real time, and there is no way in hell the number of reported incidents is higher than the overall number of broken cars, not even if we were to average by number of passengers, and especially given the fact that the average car fleet age in Spain is 14 years.
Where do you live, that trains don’t have windows or doors that can be opened, and these incidents happen so frequently? Because this is not at all my experience in Western Europe.
Regardless, it is a fact that cars break down more frequently and remediations take longer.
You have different companies responsible for operating the train, the tracks and providing services inside the train. Planes are similar but international services are common and better organized.
I’m not sure what you are trying to say here, because you imply that this isn’t an issue inherent to trains since the solution in the aviation world is to contract ground crew where airlines have none of their own, which could very well be done by train operators as well.
Also, being stuck inside an airliner while taxiing, with no A/C, just because the systems malfunction slightly and tower don’t agree on which gate they could assign to the flight since it is very early, is a thing I’ve gone through a few times. So, again, not exclusive to trains.
None of these issues is exclusive to trains. I would argue that they are more common in cars, and even more, cars take, on average, longer to repair.
You see multiple news every day about trains in Spain,Poland or Germany with broken AC or just completely failing between stations.
I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here. Cars break down all the time, and there’s the entire car repair industry to prove that, but obviously they don’t make the news.
Sounds like you want more and better public transportation.
4·13 days agoThat never happened. There was never a time when worker rights were won at no cost for workers themselves.
Families were against child labor laws because they would be losing important streams of revenue. As a result, it took several decades to finally regulate the practice. In the meantime, children were exploited and died, wages were kept low because supply of children workers was always high, and mining and industrial companies thrived up to the peak of the gilded age and the subsequent Great Depression.
Yes, by all means, stay out of the place if you can’t respect how it works and have to shit on the poor worker to feel morally superior, like an absolute smeghead.
No worries about this, I will.
I hope one day you understand that your arguments could be used to justify any kind of ongoing labor abuse. But anyway, when the industry finally dies in the US, I won’t be sad about it.
The irony of calling me “toxic” when you block anyone calling you out.
In any case the second you guys leave that goes back to normal, you’ve “fixed” nothing.
If you guys decide to go back to your savage ways, sure.
The service industry is dying in the US anyway. It’s pretty much all chains serving the same frozen food bought from a handful of suppliers. Americans eat out less than ever, and it’s not only because tipping, although you lot sure love to complain about it while doing nothing to fix it.
So if you would like to continue to alienate the few captive customers that the country still has, i.e. tourists, please, by all means, do it.
The draw is fixed. There have been multiple instances of this, most notably France 98, where, as Platini declared years after, they deliberately put France in group C and Brazil in group A, so they wouldn’t meet until the finals.
