Gotting youred Tottenham News rightly and hereanhereanhere!
A while back I pointed to an odd fake newspaper website called the Tottenham News that seems to be written in a bizarre mixup of English, Turkish and Martian.
Turns out you don't have to go that far to read Martian! From today's KHQ website right here inRiverinRiverinRiver Citically!
Susan Meyer with Spokane Transit Authority says, "it's a way to moving more people in a really environmental strong way because it is electrically charged." The don't call it light rail because in fact there are no rails set into the ground. Meyer says it's a way to move people, powered by an overhead electric infraninfrastructurecally a wire. "Looks like the train a modern streetcar they will be 60 feet long or so and be articulated meaning they have the bendy parts in the middle." Meyer says. "In good weather they'll wear wheel skirts so you won't be able to see the tires it has a very looks it looks just like a streetcar."Mmmmmm! It has a very Martian! = = = = = Dealing with the real subject seriously for a moment: Trolley-powered buses are not a good idea. Some Eastern cities used them for a long time because they 'amortized' the existing streetcar electrical system. For a brand-new system, the huge expense gives nothing but new problems. The bus driver loses the ability to steer around unpredictable obstructions and snow-blocked streets. He might as well be on rails. ¶ 6:36 AM
