poland: nooo we can't run the railway too close to the city, NIMBYs are going to eat us aliveeeeee nooooo. We need to put the station 15km away from the place and have a shitty infrequent bus service there instead

the netherlands: hold my polders lmao we ain't gonna waste good agricultural land on this shit
railway line going straight through dense urban area in Almere, the Netherlands. With Almere Cenrum being literally in the middle of a dense city center

@rail I'm not sure whether Almere would be the best example because it is such a recently designed city. But elsewhere in The Netherlands, stations were built in free space, often outside city cores even.
But train stations induce such a high demand for homes and commercial space that they practically become centers themselves

@polyfloyd @rail some stations are even shared by two cities because they are so far from it lmao
