No one in their right mind goes out and stabs their flatmate and a random 70 year old passerby, not even a wanna be terrorist. The deeply racist UK juridical system is not a good reference for deciding this.
And I am not here to do research for you, but if you spend even 5 minutes googling you will easily find that right-wing politically movitated violent crime easily dwarfs those figures (despite systematic under reporting of those by the police).
And while you are at it, look up domestic violence figures which are also orders of magnitude higher, even if you just count the ones with deaths or serious injuries.
I recommend you to read up on the history of the Austro-Hungarian empire.
What a dumb comment. Scotland is an oil and gas exporter themselves. If anything you could blame them for being in the pockets of their own local fossil fuel industry.
Please consider finding a different news source next time as anything from Sky news is almost by default against rule 3 of this community.
This incident wasn't a terrorist attack though, but rather a single individual with apparent mental health issues. Such attacks happen all the time, and this one only made the news because a person was killed and the attacker was of a certain ethic background.
Furthermore 208 attacks in a span of 18 years is laughably low, especially when compared to the thousands of right-wing attacks that happened during the same time.
I happen to know the approximate area where this is being trialed, and a bike (even an electric one) is really only an alternative for hard-core all-weather bikers that have no problem driving 60+ kilometres a day.
The distances are just too far, the weather too bad 80% of the year, and the shrinking, elderly population too low density for other means of public transport to work economically.
The options are really either cars, such kind of novel ideas, or abandoning these tiny villages all together.

Also, why post a question about Lemmy federation in the XMPP community?
Just dealing with with land rights for the extra space the second track would need is a nightmare. And the very idea of these is to use existing tracks without getting into new track construction.
No, these pods on existing rails are potentially a TON cheaper. Even if you don't count the cost of maintaining the road (which is significantly more than maintaining rail tracks), the need for paying a driver makes most small shuttle bus services prohibitively expensive.
Has some of what some people here think at least could qualify as Solarpunk music.
Its kinda cool how by making it mono-rail, they can use a single track rail to have pods moving in both directions, and the rail could still be used during the night for regular cargo trains.
