      What about the cars prior that are objectively worse in more ways than one. That probably had a much higher kill rate on both people AND animals.

        Yes, being concerned about putting creature habitat directly where trains run is trolling.

        it’s about not being stupid. You aren’t gaining anything useful putting grass between the rails of a metro besides potential problems.

        Someone said it’s been done successfully, which is surprising if true, but it’s still not really doing anything.

      Tracks like these have been successfully used in a lot of cities already. It’s objectively better imo

        Seems dubious, but I’m curious if animals genuinely have a comparable hit rate on regular tracks vs grass filled rails.
