Zanimljivosti u vezi istorije ponudjenog resenja "Beogradskog Metroa" na ovoj strani:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Line_(MBTA)
Citiram najvaznije u vezi Bostonske "Zelene Linije":
"
The Tremont Street Subway – the oldest subway tunnel in North America – and several connecting tunnels carry cars of all branches under downtown.
The Tremont Street Subway opened in stages between September 1, 1897, and September 3, 1898,
to take streetcars off streets."
Streetcar=
tramvaj.
Zanimljivost u vezi nesrecnog Boeing-Vertol lakog sinskog vozila aka. debelog Svajcarca:
"
In the early 1970s, light rail - which had largely disappeared from North America after the slow decline of streetcar systems from the 1920s to the 1950s - was reintroduced as a method of urban renewal less expensive than conventional metro systems. In 1971,
as part of a program to suuply further work to defense contractors as the Vietnam War wound down, the Urban Mass Transit Administration selected Boeing-Vertol as systems manager for a project to design a
new generation of generic light rail vehicle."
"After a 1972 report by
Vukan Vuchic, Boston (with its older streetcar tunnel) and San Francisco (with a new streetcar tunnel being built as part of BART)
were chosen as the testbeds for this new rolling stock, intended to jumpstart similar systems in other cities."
Na ovom klipu se na 08:04 moze videti uzrocnik guzve odnosno dugovlacenja gradnje skupog ali superiornog sistema:

^^^Dakle korumpirani LRT/tramvajski lobi cini sve da spreci gradnju ni manje ni vise nego Njujorskog metroa iz sopstvenog interesa.
Interes i niska cena inferiorne opsteprihvacene tehnologije sprecavaju gradnju sistema koji je lokomotiva razvoja skoro svakog velikog grada. To mi zvuci poznato. Njujork, Bec... Beograd?
Btw da se podsetimo kako danas izgleda zelena linija:
^^^Pa fakticki sva produzenja nasih tramvaja iz 70ih-80ih su tehnicki
nadzemne uskokolosecne LRT trase sa ukrstanjima u nivou.
Na slici iz Bostona mozemo videti
nadzemnu LRT trasu standardnog koloseka sa ukrstanjima u nivou dok su vozila visokopodni
tramvaji sa velikom sofersajbnom. Dobro ova Breda ima niskopodnu platformu u zoni vrata. Sve u svemu nabudzeni tramvaj.
Jedinu stvar koju nisu uspeli da izgrade je tunel u centru.
Evo kako bi to izgledalo:
Postavlja se pitanje da li su Katice masovno nabavljane da bi sluzile uparene za cika Vukanov LRT ili cisto zbog zamene zastarelog voznog parka?
