Comment Wow another Chinese breakthrough huh? (Score 2) 44

Something definitely won't happen causing the work to be lost. Then the people behind it won't need to seek funding to recreate the event. It's certainly not like the Chinese government is desperate to make a name for itself because of trade policy. The US will have to open trade again once they find out China has these amazing quantum computers. This is about as clever as the CIA in the 1950s.

In South Florida, the farther you go from Dadeland South it will take exponentially more time to commute. Way down here in Homestead there has been a massive explosion of housing deserts, so much that nearly all the available unprotected land is used up now. Commerical zones are packed with low value corporate retail down here. The expressways are a nightmare since so many people must travel to Miami for work. It's such a waste of time, not to mention vehicle costs. It's a nightmare for students that must travel to Miami Dade Medical campus also, as I had to. Have you ever tried to spend 4 hours a day studying while the bus or train is wrenching your neck and back the whole time slamming breaks and slamming acceleration? Don't get me started on the noise and lack of space to work.

If that was their intention that's certainly not what's happening. Have a look at Google's directions for a trip on the Busway, those are the actual real world results. Honestly the fact that the Busway is closely parallel with US1 makes it pretty impossible to give Busway traffic any priority.

they're not commuter trains. I swear these Miami-Dade county people keep building up this half-hearted Busway road. It doesn't help because the buses still have to stop at too many intersections since it's ground level and also parallel to gridlocked US1, as close as 20 feet! It shouldn't take 2.25 hours to go 35 miles, that's an effective speed of 15.56mph, because of the shear number of intersections. All the money getting dumped into this Busway should be going into expansion of the raised Metrorail train, bit by bit year by year. These political science majors and attorneys running the show can't comprehend that bicycle paced speed doesn't help citizens at all.
