Dear #ux designers: There are people (like me) who get super anxious when “a call” starts. Please please please make *every* call behind a confirmation screen. And do not ever make clicking on a phone number a start of a call. In what universe would that be a good idea in 2025 anyways?

Aging carriages, high costs and reluctant incumbents choked off the night-train revival — even as passengers clamor for more.
