Of course, price for housing increasing isn't something we should be aiming for, so these properties around the new rail infrastructure need to be developed with enough density to still make it affordable to live there.

I don't think that there are many bus lines being cancelled for a new rail line, though they might be reorganised. The area getting better service is larger than the few places where it gets worse, so probably only a few places will drop in price just because of the new infrastructure.

Being able to vote from home IS very nice, especially if you have to do it 4x/year like we do here in Switzerland. Here the votes are all counted on the same Sunday that you can last vote, so your mail-ins will have to be sent off a few days earlier (or thrown into a special box for ballots)

Had an amazing time with you, thank you for visiting!

Problem is that most people then assume that there is a certain level of highway infrastructure that you can reach where supply meets all demand, but this is almost never the case with mobility due to induced demand!

A night train to Malmö sounds amazing!
For the train to London: only Terminal that makes sense in my eyes is Basel, since it already has a part of the station perfect for border checks towards France and running high-speed trains over the slow Swiss network seems like a bit of a waste.

The vast network of consistently signed hiking paths spanning the whole country are definitely one of the more underrated things in Switzerland!

Ich bin ohne Auto in der Schweiz aufgewachsen. Wurde auch oft gefragt, ob unsere Familie arm ist.

Glad that I only need to endure family dinner like that once per year on Christmas, in a setting where drinking lots of alcohol is acceptable...

Another problem is that you need somewhere to go with the trains at the end of the line.
This means you either need space to store a train right there, go over the long bridge to a yard beyond, or turn the train around immediately, which would kneecap capacity by a lot.

Wow now it will only take several years - never until this change reaches Switzerland, where conductors could finally stop asking me if I'm sure that what I'm showing is actually my ticket.

Looks like that spiral will add almost half a kilometer to the path, which is close to the distance of walking to next crossing on both sides... Though those have really bad connections to the actual neighborhood, so maybe the money for a bridge could be well spent for a trail along the tracks as!

Amazing achievements considering this is what I had to do a bit more than 2 years ago:
-Białystok - Kaunas train only running twice a week
-no trains at all between Lithuania and Latvia, requiring a 2km walk over the border and a rural bus line
-3h43min wait in Valga

This is also the reason why I love small towns or living on the edge of cities in Switzerland, you get access to unpaved paths in nature while still getting good transit service.
It's worth it to limit sprawl just for this reason imo!
