I am petitioning to Veto the bill above.

Title of bill: Train and bus transportation (Renewal)
Why you are against this bill:
First off, I somewhat-agree with one part of this bill and that is Buses. However, I disagree with the Trains part and that is why I am petitioning this bill.
This bill is literally contradicting itself. The explanation to the bill starts with a statement that says "warps are phasing out". In the closing paragraph (second paragraph), the text starts with the following sentence "then [the player] will be teleported to a train car or a bus for about 30-60 seconds depending on which stop they pick". This bill is inciting that there is a lack of transportation and that warps are unrealistic. Unfortunately, as a solution to this issue, it implies adding more warps underneath a different name and add a similar action to the plane simulation. Basically, this bill wants us to add warps that are paid (like the ones we have now), except instead of calling it 'warps', we will call them 'Buses & Trains' as they will involve a train/bus contraption for the player to wait while they are teleported to their final destination.
- This is where my opinion on this bill begins to diverge. I did some research on some plugins and was unable to find a bus plugin that would serve the same purpose, that is why I agree with the bus solution for travel within cities, even though if it is just adding another warp because there is no other solution that sounds realistic.
- On the other side of the argument, or the train part, I researched that separately and found a very effective plugin for Trains that is much more realistic and can add both inter and intracity transport across the server.
This plugin is called "TrainCarts". It is very useful and comes with a ton of additions that are possible, such as controlling the speed of trains (hint hint: train driver job for the future when we have enough players), having activator regions, real live train arrival time signs and so much more. "TrainCarts" features the ability to make real trains with a series of connected Minecarts that travel as one unit or train. Furthermore, This plugin would allow us to have both intracity transportation (underground subways), AND intercity travel (transit system above the ground on bridge structures) so players can travel around faster between major cities and towns. We could start our very own transit system!! Something the DoC can be proud of.
These "TrainsCarts" trains are much faster than vehicles and would promote so much faster travel. Furthermore, these trains simulate pulling into a station, slowing down, and opening subway doors on the station. There are many other features I could share and would love to if you contact me or ask below.
This is why I originally disagreed with the original 'Train warp thing'. We have such a better solution at hand that would not only possibly give us a new job in the future, but I believe it could render the server to be a much more interesting playing and realistic environment. This can also give a new job for the DoC to work on, and they will not be always so stressed with building highways. With this plugin, we can more realistically charge players to use the subway with 'tickets'. The subway/transit system for Trains would be provided by the government.
YES: THIS WOULD REQUIRE WORK FOR EVERYONE. And probably most of all, the server administration.
But this is one of those steps we can take to acquiring more players, and having a better server.
This addition should not rely on the server administration solely, it should remain on the community also. Players should be able to help with this addition by supporting the DoC by doing a multitude of things, such as holding station subway building contests, and other things. I am sure some players would agree to help in order to have this amazing addition to our server. If there's anything I can do personally, I would want to help to make this come true.
What you wish to accomplish with this:
I wish to accomplish the fact that we will have a big transit for inter and intracity travel for all to use on the server. I wish to accomplish a transit system for the server. I wish to accomplish a faster method of travel for everyone, that is cheap and easy to use instead of just adding more warps and calling it a day.
Citizens, please do consider petitioning against this bill. We can either take the cheap way of doing this, or we can take a much more complicated and better version of this bill. I believe that with everyone's overwhelming support, we can do anything together. Now, it's your turn to make that choice. You decide.
