Future projects
Improvement of the service began in 2015, with projects including elimination of level crossings, increased frequency, modernisation of stations and the construction of a new terminus station Gallitello.[3]
gollark: Although given the power budget I doubt the sustained performance is very good.
gollark: Mine is just somewhat old.
gollark: Yes, they're fairly competitive now I think.
gollark: Its main advantage is just that it is conveniently usable one-handed or while standing up, which the phone plus keyboard is not.
gollark: Compared to my laptop, my phone has significantly worse CPU power, massively worse GPU power, a smaller but equal-resolution and better-color-calibrated screen, much worse IO (a single USB 2 USB-C port versus five USB ports, a headphone jack, Ethernet, DP/HDMI, and power), much better battery life but worse battery capacity, and worse software.
