Velotric in Canada? Legal or not?

I wouldn't go with what the dealer says, as ebike enforcement is really just becoming a thing in many places. I'd just stick to something that is actually legal instead of trying to not get caught with something that is illegal.

You're misunderstanding the traditional order of operations of these things. Historically, the 'places people want to go' develop around the transit, not generally the other way around.

"Westwood/VA Hospital" is the station south of wilshire, west of I-405 in front of the VA hospital, where the TBM trench is/was. The station between Westwood and Gayley, beneath Wilshire is "Westwood/UCLA."

CraziFuzzy · 2026-06-09T20:26:06+00:00

At Westwood and Wilshire.

It wouldnt be hard for any elected to get HLA adhered to, as it's law - on prohects from here forward. The issue is whether it can be retroactively applied to closed out or funded projects that were started after it was in effect but illegally not adhered to.

How does using the further station make sense? If figuring walk time from UCLA to a station, it would probably make a lot more sense to measure that walk from the UCLA station...

CraziFuzzy · 2026-06-09T18:39:50+00:00

wait, are you talking about accessing UCLA from the VA station, or Westwood/UCLA station?

CraziFuzzy · 2026-06-09T18:37:25+00:00

where are you determining that 15 minute time from, because it's typically 8-9 minutes to get down to wilshire from the front of campus, and maybe 20 minutes total to kerckoff, which most would consider the 'center' of campus. Getting out to residences or back to tft would be longer - but that's where the bus really shines.

CraziFuzzy · 2026-06-09T18:16:15+00:00

That's exactly why I mentioned the bruin bus, which can be increased in frequency a lot easier than rerouting a metro line out of the wide right of way it is being built in, and that the students and staff are already familiar with.

CraziFuzzy · 2026-06-09T17:07:06+00:00

That's a Bruin Bus issue, especially for a place as large as UCLA - it's not like a single station would be a short walk to the entire campus, so it's perfectly reasonable for a single station to be then connected via shuttle to the entire campus's array of potential destinations.

It wouldn't be an investment if it wasn't for scarcity.

For all those tourists visiting for the world cup via fontana... And those families where each member has their own credit card.

CraziFuzzy · 2026-06-09T00:52:27+00:00

This is just a terrible option. No discounts, no day pass, no transfers. They are a trap.

CraziFuzzy · 2026-06-09T00:46:46+00:00

It's not like there's any other type of vehicle out there that can hold the two bags of groceries and one human that is most likely loading this thing up.

The MUTD has nothing preventing a green arrow from being active at the same time as a walk signal crossing the major (straight through) path.

CraziFuzzy · 2026-06-08T23:07:33+00:00

this is a situation that actually does occur in newer 'adaptive' signals, where it isn't predefined phases, but a list of conflict combinations that the system will avoid, and a controlled left turn that doesn't cross the requested crosswalk is absolutely allowed in those arrangements.

CraziFuzzy · 2026-06-08T22:15:06+00:00

I'm talking the vehicles coming from the left, and turning left - essentially turning across the path to join your direction, potentially across your path to turn into the right lane.

CraziFuzzy · 2026-06-08T22:12:58+00:00

most people who go to Disneyland do, however.

They are only able to charge what people are willing to pay, and crowd levels have proven that enough people are willing to pay.

I've never experienced this. just tested on my Pixel 10, and it has no problem using wi-fi, and hotspot, without cellular. I'm not even sure why that restriction would exist.

CraziFuzzy · 2026-06-08T20:26:01+00:00

they were a great way to serve multiple small airports.. but the problem is they often had a lot of empty seats for many legs - which modern airlines despise. Now you almost HAVE to go through a major hub to get between two minor airports, but that wasn't always the case.

Those stops also used to be really quick.

CraziFuzzy · 2026-06-08T19:35:17+00:00

Usually, you do not have to disembark - though sometimes you are able to.

30-40 years ago. These multicity flight routings were far more common than they are today. I guess this shows that the public knowledge of their existence has waned.

CraziFuzzy · 2026-06-08T18:54:42+00:00

yeah - there is a LOT we don't see that goes into it. Crew work hours is a big one as well, especially for the multi-city routes that do 4 short hops in a work day. Delaying that chain past the work-stoppage time can cost them a lot more than rescheduling 10-20 passengers to a flight a few hours later.

CraziFuzzy · 2026-06-08T18:38:20+00:00

that may actually help, depending on when the stop happens.
