minus-squareMr_Blott@feddit.uklinkfedilinkarrow-up0·14 days agoI was in Barcelona last month and the metro was automated. Some trams in Switzerland too when I was there two months ago I’m not a city person but I assumed that was just normal now.

minus-squareFaceDeer@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up0·14 days agoEurope has freight trains too. I don’t see why this is a point worth quibbling about.
