In my city the buses have ticket machines inside them, there's also ticket machines at the bus stops, and you can buy tickets on your smartphone. Or at small street shops but it's last resort. Most people that drive often just hav

It's even worse if you don't limit the velocity to sth like 30km/h - because then you need more space for turning and acceleration/breaking; and also noise increases with speed - which tends to make people put their hous

Attack on German forces distracted by uprising, with safe places to move through the river secured by rebels would be easier and faster than waiting for Germans to mop up and destroy the city. And of course Stalin warned against uprising -
