Speak for yourself. I'm not pulling this out of my arse, I'm telling you things I just happen to know.

A single train with a single crew can transport more people in a day when travelling at higher speed.

This is running costs. The capital costs are irrelevant.

It's cheaper to run a high speed service than a low speed one. You can transport more people with the same number of staff and trains because it runs faster. The solution isn't to run an artificially cheaper low speed service along side, it's to run the high speed service in a sane way.

The problem isn't how they're constructed, it's how they're run, and this article is basically just complaining about SNCF without realising it. They run bad timetables and aim for high occupancy rather than transporting more people. Jon Worth has better writing on the topic IMO.

tldw Hamburg wanted to build an urban highway network, but it wasn't complete and they built some nice things in the space left over.

New roads don't reduce traffic, they create more. It's called induced demand. We should be building viable alternatives to driving.

 

tl;dw people in suburbs actually live close to things, and many do want to cycle, but it's too dangerous.

It wouldn't be difficult to write this script as a darktable plugin, but I imagine you'd struggle to convince the maintainers to merge code to allow for searching or categorising based on a custom metadata tag.

I'm less familiar with other programs, but I don't see any of the proprietary options implementing this.

There are multiple historic weather APIs available (example), it should be pretty trivial to write a script to read the location and time from the EXIF data of your images, call the API, and them dump the info into a list or back into the image metadata.

The offer was always about capacity rather than speed, something which is clearly desperately needed.
