I think the article said CVLR would be battery powered to eliminate the need for overhead cables. I’m not saying I believe it is worse than e.g. and electric bus. But even the company producing it seems to struggle to articulate its advantages.
The reason I care is because I really want more trams in English towns/cities. But not if it’s a pared down version that gives the entire concept a bad image

That’s kind of my concern. I’m worried they’re cutting so many corners that the competitive edge over busses all but vanishes and, best case scenario, this ends up being a bizarre PR campaign for public transit.

Whilst this is very cool, I’m a little concerned about how the pros for “very light rail” basically amount to having better vibes than busses. Not that I even disagree with that premise, but I’d want something more concrete…

Witcher 1 really has old-school difficulty syndrome. Getting past act 1 was a nightmare for me, then somewhere around late act 2 the combat became trivial and I could just stunlock everything.
