the authoritarianism oozes from this image. the harsh angles of the bus reminding you that you are not an individual; the ominous, prison-like bars on the bike path; the violent red lights restricting freedom of movement; the vacant streets because nobody can afford a car; infrastructure obviously unmaintained as evidenced by weeds growing all over the bridge. you should consider yourself lucky you don't live here.Hmm, what you don't see are all the armed guards threatening people to ride woke bikes or else they'll lose 69 social credit points.
In all seriousness though this is so cool and I'm so jealous we'll never see infrastructure like this in America. Instead it'll just be more and more people roaring down the street in their Toddler Crusher 250s covered in Punisher skulls.
i can't even imagine how much healthier i would be if i had a protected bike lane i could use to get to work instead of taking the car or "sharing the road" with coal-rolling immortan joe and his F550 with a never-used class IV trailer hitch and karen-on-the-phone in her 2022 Toyota Dreadnought.
There's a 4 lane road below and not a single car lmao. Why drive when you have such good pubic infrastructure?
The subtle brutalist influence I get from the vines growing on the bus lane absolutely rock. Thank you for sharing this.
This is the most beautiful part of urbanism: Not the things that we all know would be better and should be done as soon as possible in a functioning state, but the stuff you couldn't even imagine that someone else already planned, proposed, constructively criticized, and then built.
