    I'm that one tourist (there was 2 of us actually) who got off the train at Yukarigaoka. Specifically to ride that people mover of course. You've answered the question I've had for the past decade as to why it has a koala mascot when the line has no apparent connection to Australia!

    Here are some facts about koalas in honor of the kawaii koalas: There is only one species of Koala in the world. It is the only extant member of the family Phascolarctidae, whose closest living relatives are the common wombats. The word "koala" is thought to originate from one of the Australian Aboriginal languages, Dharug, from the word "gula" which roughly translates to ‘no water’. And this might explain why. In the Australian bush, koalas rarely drink water as the majority of their water intake comes from eating fresh eucalyptus leaves. Koalas drinking water is uncommon in the wild, although they can do so if necessary, especially during heat waves, droughts or bushfires. Koalas have an unusual fibre-digesting organ called a caecum. Other mammals, including humans, also have a caecum, but the Koala’s is very long (200 cms) and it has a blind end. It contains millions of bacteria which break down the fibre into substances which are easier to absorb. Even so, the Koala is still only able to absorb 25% of fibre eaten, hence their need to eat large amounts of leaves. The koala’s digestive system is particularly good at tolerating its toxic eucalyptus diet, which, even in small amounts, can often be poisonous and fatal to most animals when ingested. Special liver enzymes and symbiotic gut bacteria help to break down poisonous compounds, thus allowing koalas to survive on a diet of eucalyptus leaves. They can eat up to a kilogram a day without even breaking a sweat!
    Koalas in the southern parts of Australia are considerably larger and have thicker fur than those in the north. This is thought to be an adaptation to keep them warm in the colder southern winters. Koalas have 5 digits on each front paw, two of which are opposed to the others, much like our thumbs are able to be moved differently from the fingers. This helps them to hold firmly onto the branches and to grip their food. The 2nd and 3rd digits on their hind paws are fused together to form a grooming claw. A mature male has a dark scent gland in the center of his white chest which exudes a dark, sticky substance. He rubs this on his trees to indicate to other Koalas that this is his territory. The Joey stays in its mother’s pouch for about 6 or 7 months, drinking only milk. Before it can tolerate gumleaves, which are toxic for most mammals, the joey must feed on a substance called ‘pap’ which is a specialized form of the mother’s droppings that is soft and runny. This allows the mother to pass on to the joey special micro-organisms from her intestine which are necessary for it to be able to digest the gumleaves.

    Rubber-tired systems are interesting! For rubber-tired metro systems like Montreal, Santiago, Mexico City, Lausanne, and Paris, they have faster acceleration, along with the ability to climb or descend steeper slopes than would be feasible with conventional rail tracks, shorter braking distances that allow trains to be signaled closer together, quieter rides, and greatly reduced rail wear. But at the same time, the higher friction and increased rolling resistance cause many disadvantages like higher energy consumption, a higher cost of maintenance, loss of the traction-advantage in inclement weather, and tires that frequently need to be replaced, contrary to rails using steel wheels. Tires can break down during use and turn into particulate matter, which can be hazardous, also coating surrounding surfaces in dirty rubber dust. During the German occupation of Paris of WWII, the Metro system was used to capacity, with relatively little maintenance performed. At the end of the war, the system was so worn that thought was given as to how to renovate it. Thus, rubber-tired metro technology was applied and developed by Michelin, who provided the tires and guidance system, in collaboration with Renault, who provided the vehicles. Though the first idea for rubber-tyred railway vehicles was the work of Scotsman Robert William Thomson, the original inventor of the pneumatic tyre.
    Rubber-tired funicular systems also exist, like Istanbul's Tünel, the second-oldest fully underground urban railway in the world after the London Underground, and oldest in continental Europe. Created by French engineer Eugène-Henri Gavand after noticing people struggling up and down Yüksek Kaldırım Avenue and opened in January 1875. Another rubber-tyred funicular is the Funiculaire du Havre in the French port city of Le Havre. It first operated with unreliable steam coaches before switching to electric in 1911. Le Havre's funicular originally opened in 1890, but like eighty percent of the city, the funicular was destroyed during the numerous WWII air raids, so they had to rebuild it from scratch.

    Fun facts about Eucalyptus: Eucalyptus isn't native to Japan! Most species of the Eucalyptus genus are native to Australia, but they're also native to adjacent areas of New Guinea and Indonesia, and one species, Eucalyptus deglupta, ranges as far north as the southern Philippines. Eucalyptus deglupta is known as rainbow eucalyptus because as a combination of air and sunlight react with its bright green bark, the long strips turn from green to shades of red, orange, blue, purple and even pink. Because it sheds intermittently, the trees color’s are in a constant state of change, and will never repeat the same pattern. The oldest definitive Eucalyptus fossils are from Patagonia in South America, where eucalypts are no longer native, though they have been introduced from Australia. Eucalyptus regnans or mountain ash, native to Tasmania and Victoria, is the tallest of all flowering plants in the world, its tallest measured living specimen named Centurion, stands at around 100 meters tall in Tasmania. Compared to conifers, Coast Douglas-fir is about the same height, only coast redwood is taller!
    Most eucalypts are not tolerant of severe cold, Eucalypts do well in a range of climates but are usually damaged by anything beyond a light frost of −5 °C. The hardiest are the snow gums, such as Eucalyptus pauciflora native to eastern Australia, which is capable of withstanding cold and frost down to about −20 °C. Eucalyptus blossoms have no petals. The entire “bloom” consists of hundreds of stamens emerging from a central cone-like bud. They come in a range of colors, including white, bright red, vibrant orange, deep pink, and lime green. The abundance of stamens translates to an abundance of pollen. And eucalyptus trees can use as much pollen as possible. They have few natural pollinators because of high concentrations of cineole, used as medicine for its anti-bacterial, antiseptic, and anti-fungal properties. Because of the cineole, only the koala bear, ring-tail possum, and a few insects can eat eucalyptus leaves and bark.

    It reminds me a bit of the Las Colinas APT, a people mover system in the Las Colinas commercial development near Dallas. It was always a bit of a white elephant; it took 10 years to build and was only a fraction of its original intended size when it opened in 1989, but it actually gained a connection to the DART light rail network in 2014. Sadly it shut down during the COVID pandemic and all signs show that it won't be reopening.

      ​@@Thom-TRA A few websites talk about it but Norimono News goes in the most detail. From the interview they conducted they haven't made a firm decision but it doesn't seem like Yamaman is that keen on retiring the system altogether. The buses literally hug the VONA system route so a large portion of the VONA users have already moved to the Koalabuses. That being said keeping the VONA infra and automating the line would probably be the best thing to do in the long run

    Not a real-estate example, but if you're ever doing a video compiling trains or train lines owned or operated by non-railway/transit companies, then it's worth mentioning Heathrow Airport.
    They own the railway branch (tracks and tunnels) off the mainline, and are a parent company of the Heathrow Express service in association with GWR. They were also a parent company for the Heathrow Connect, which was eventually passed onto TfL and replaced by Elizabeth Line (initially ran as TfL Rail). It's one of the reasons why there are higher fees on the Elizabeth line into Heathrow, TfL pays Heathrow Airport to use those tracks.

In order to stimulate sales in their subdivision, they built an interurban line running into downtown Cleveland. Though the Vans are long gone, their little railroad (now classed as a light rail line) still runs as the Cleveland RTA blue and green lines.

    MOST commuter trains - in fact entire commuter Networks in Japan are built by real estate developers because everything must be vertical, literally or figuratively in Japan. That's the self-perpetuating design of the zaibatsu- which were forcibly devolved to keiretsu- groups of industries and businesses that integrate by feeding off each others products and services; this is the way global multinational companies used to operate and be stable for decades.. before short-term, short-sighted next-quarter stock pricing became fashionable.
    When you actually spend time there you see how construction operates; a building goes up or comes down directly in its own footprint, unlike how western construction sprawls.
    As early as the 1920s, land developers were building Rail lines to bring customers to their department stores and other businesses starting in Tokyo and expanding to every other major city.
    Odakyu, Keio and Seibu all started as developers before they became railway companies; today that's their most public-facing functions. When they had the opportunity, they expanded outside of the cities largely with vacation destinations or hot springs resorts at the opposing end of the line.
    Largely, EVERY private railway in Japan was a land developer first, buying or building a railway to bring customers to them.
    Japan Rail is a latecomer to this idea- they didn't start integrating retail malls into stations until the 1960s.

    • @Thom-TRA
      @Thom-TRA  3 месяца назад

      That is a false interpretation of the facts. Most of those railroads are much older than the 1920s. While it’s true that many companies diversified their portfolios almost immediately upon founding, and then restarted doing that after a brief period of nationalization, to claim they were originally real estate developers is just not true.
      And the department stores came later.

      ​​​​​@@Thom-TRA large landowners or zaibatsu groups took over or extended unsuccessful point-to-point rail lines, with the specific aim of serving properties they owned. And because they usually also owned a bank, financing was essentially guaranteed.
      The same thing happened in New York and many other places around the world in the 1800s- dozens of different lttle spot lines pop up because BIG BUSINESSMAN X HAS A GREAT IDEA... and then 5 or 10 years later it proves to be an endless money pit because he has no defined stable market. The difference is, they were rarely integrated by choice through an vertical owner with functionally unlimited funding, usually by force or bankruptcy and government intervention.
      And- that's also what the Japanese government did during World War II, nationalizing or forcibly integrating many of these railways and businesses together for the war effort. Many of which were deliberately un-wound after the war either by their own choice, or by MacArthur's administration.

One of the main reasons why it extends in the Buckinghamshire countryside from the heart of the city of London.
