This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Why the ""? Getting cars out of cities to improve quality of life is a major progress.
The cars are still there, in massive numbers. You just can't see the tunnel they built between those two pictures. It's right beneath the feet of the pedestrians.
At least they can´t kill cyclists and pedestrians this way and the emissions get somewhat contained. Of course this is only a compromise but on the way to car free cities it might be a useful intermediate step before we can actually get rid of carbrainitis.

'emissions somewhat contained'..?
Sure that ain't 'carbon monoxide tunnel?'
Maybe it has chimneys like the London underground used to when it was steam powered
Sounds NSFW...
That still seems better though. Less noise, safer and more usable space.
If you're there, can you hear them if you put your ear to the ground?
Lol does it matter or are you just curious?
