    Sometimes it is just carelessness of the people. Being blind to your felliw peoples 's needs. Dropping trash where they stand. Refusing to walk two more steps on the pathway and kill the grass instead.

    In this case the requirements analysis of the parks and recreations dept was just bad and they are the asshole.



















  • What confuses me is, although cable tram is perfectly fine, that in my mind a tram is like an omnibus with steel wheels on rails, not a cabin hanging from a cable (without any wheels or even an engine). Even a funicular is closer to a tram.

    What do you call it?

    Seilbahn. To be fair tram (the thing with wheels on rails) is called Straßenbahn here. So a literal translation of Seilbahn could be cable tram… Um cable car?

    Sometimes a tram is made from one or more Straßenbahnwagen (tram car or streetcar). Funny that it is called streetcar but drives on rails and cars which drive on streets aren’t.:)

    And then the word Seilbahn is used for both, a funicular or a cable car. Although there is the word Standseilbahn for the second.

    Meh. Languages are strange.
