NSG Senate Lobby: Bread, Circuses and Automatic Weapons

[The Nihilistic view]

Why?

I'm quite fond of my absolute monopoly.

Your such a socialist!

[Capital Transportation Commission]

Also, one last vehicle for the stats:

Shuttle bus: Optare Solo Diesel-Electric Hybrid

I'm quite fond of my absolute monopoly.

And I'm fond of competition.

Yesh, horrid looking buses. Will they be operating a "hail and ride" system?

Edit: Meet the new kid on the block.

(Yes, they are horrible, but it's the only right-hand drive minibus I could find that fits the needs of the CTC)

They will be used for four purposes:
1) Demand Responsive Transport, so yes, hail and ride.
2) Use on regular routes that see very low ridership
3) Use as a shuttle at outdoors festivals and other events
4) Use on special routes (ie schools)

I only support it because it's British made and mostly British designed apart from the engine which is merc. It looks horrible. But yes there are not many right hand drive minibuses.

I'd rather just import custom-ordered RHD Ford E450s from North America, but the cost would be astronomical, especially considering the relatively small number of such buses we need.

damn! He was an immigrant, very poor. But he worked hard, made a great living and became a senator in Aurentina. he is an example for all immigrants.

But there's thousands upon thousands of immigrants that meet that description...

and how many of them were senator. also, when i say poor. i mean Communist dirt poor.

eew

That's just as bad, look's horrible. Usual american no design, box welded to a light bulbous box shaped truck just about covers it.

There is the Mercedes-Benz Cito, but that isn't built any longer. But yeah, they seem like the best bet.

Well, that's more personal preference I guess.

On hindsight, the E450 wouldn't make a very good CTC shuttle bus because it's not low-floor.

Obviously newer ones but they'd fit the bill easy.

OOC: Where on the world map are we in respect to England? And how far away?

We're on the Mediterranean, right between France, Italy, and Spain. Also, know that I think of it. Can I get some of these Aurentine Maps and out them in the culture thread?

I think that's maybe a bit too mini.

How about something like the one in this video:

Obviously for some city services but for school buses and events, I can't see why not.

[Dragomere]

I am now copyrighting the idea for a bullet train from Paris France, through Aurentina's Capital, then stopping at Rome.

My school coach was a 50 odd seater and that's on the small side. Quite often double deckers are used on school routes where I live. That must be what? 11-14 seats?

I should be more specific. We're on the Mediterranean. Surrounded by water. We're a super large island.

That's impossible. There is no such bridge infrastructure.

EDIT: And you can't build that infrastructure either.

I will say that the official designs are coming soon.

Who said that a bullet train has to be above ground?

[Mediciano]

You can't copyright that idea. That's like me copyrighting the idea of a flight path from Boston to Paris.

We had second hand Japanese buses that were not considered full until you had five people in the front door of the bus. Must have been a reminder of home for the Brazilian exchange students.

But getting back to the point, not all schools need big buses.
