Alt text: They really shouldn’t let those small cars drive in traffic. I worry I’m going to kill someone if I hit one! They should have to drive on the sidewalk, safely out of the way.
It’s looking really cool! I also saw some horrible roads in some shots, but certainly looks like it’s moving in the right direction. Would love to visit some day.
It’s called Cheonggyecheon, 청계천. Google Maps in Korea is really, really poor (for legal reasons). The satellite quality doesn’t even come close to capturing this (you can barely even tell it’s there), and Street View is just from the road (as of 2018 at the most recent) where you can see that it’s there, but not get much of a sense of it. There are a very small number of those individual non-path Street View photos.
Look up “Doug Ford bike lanes” and you’re sure to find a ton. Ford has had it in for bike lanes with a rage usually saved for his non-paying drug customers.
So you don’t have taxis driving on sidewalks or motorcycles speeding down the wrong side of split avenues and you STILL have about the same road deaths and injuries per pop as Taiwan?
This only goes decently for cities. Plus in the Netherlands prices have been going up and up and up. It’s not fun anymore and it’s cheaper to take the car.
It also offers a Lifetime membership, currently $300. Nebula is very transparent that this is not intended to be a good deal for customers. You should only do this if you strongly dislike recurring costs, and/or if you want to support Nebula. The CEO has stated that this is their alternative to seeking venture funding. It allows them to raise large amounts of money for more expensive investments (such as Nebula Originals, including Jason Slaughter’s upcoming “Day Pass”), without selling out their ownership to corporate interests.
GMaps is horrible not only as a service that forces you to enable all their spyware technologies or lose most of the functionality, not only it’s hostile to any other mapping applications and makes it literally impossible to even copy the coordinates (I’m not even talking about converting links or using geo-uri’s), but even within itself it’s absolutely horrible for any non-car activity: hiking, walking, cycling, running, commuting — the UX of all that is absolutely abysmal.
So if you find a solution that works for you without GMaps (and preferably the one that contributes back to something like OSM), good for you, stick to that solution a forget that absolute garbage produced by Google.
Any tl;dw, yt link, or a summary (which city at least)? I like NJB, but I don’t want to register to a random site for this.
EDIT: It’s there.
In 1974, the first metro line was opened in Seoul, South Korea. Dozens of lines were built over the past few decades and today it’s so advanced and comprehensive that it might just be the world’s best metro system.
The video will be on YouTube later. I think NJB puts his videos up one week after the Nebula version?
fwiw though Nebula is not “a random site”. It’s the creator-owned platform that NJB and a bunch of other YouTube channels are on that helps give them a more reliable income source than the fickle YouTube algorithm, while being far more affordable and practical for the end user than supporting dozens of different individual people on Patreon.
I subscribed on a $30 first year promo. Happy with it for the price. NJB, Climate Town, City Nerd, and a few other creators I was following before are on there, plus I’ve discovered some new content that’s pretty good. Plus it’s a little less YouTube/Google in my life.
I’d also recommend it. There’s a lot of great, high quality content from well-known creators with no ads and occasional other perks like early NJB videos.
Wendover did a good video (yt) on the Nebula model and background (Sam’s also the Chief Content Officer).
