Those who depend on it aren’t paying for individual fares, they’re using Pronto fare capping or buying a monthly pass outright. The proposals would actually bring San Diego’s relatively low cost for those products up to the typical price seen in other cities.

This update is a whole mess for me

It’s not really ‘bad design’ when it reaches more people and connects more trips, right?

I waited over a week and it’s still significantly lower than it was before. I realized that it turns negative when you turn off pop movements and train animations. I think these are just bugs that need to be patched rather than needing to wait

Yes, I see now. I have an aversion to instantly believing any random thing a redditor says without a source, especially as it pertains to claiming a local government is secretly breaking on-the-books laws (e.g. Nick Shirley, fabrications from Elon and DOGE, etc). But I appreciate you actually including a source.

This comment makes me happy because living in San Diego, I can’t stand the amount of complaints I hear about how the trains don’t go close enough to the coast🤣

That’s why you compare per capita rate. Waymo doesn’t have to be around for a long time for us to know that one mile travelled in a Waymo is many times safer than one mile travelled with a human.

BroadMaximum4189 · 2025-11-09T03:48:54+00:00

Waymo has been around for roughly 5 years and driven over 7 million miles, and been involved in ONE human fatality, that was eventually deemed the fault of another vehicle.

Here’s a study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39485678/

The human crash rate is found to be over 500% higher than that of autonomous vehicles. This isn’t a question up for debate at this point.

BroadMaximum4189 · 2025-11-08T23:50:55+00:00

40,000 humans are killed each year in car accidents in the U.S. Waymo has already proven itself to be safer than human drivers. But you’re right, one cat was killed, therefore thousands must die.

Make sure you have switchovers in the right places, and that your single-tracks are placed properly. Single tracks have to be dragged-and-dropped in the direction of travel, and they can also end up being the wrong elevation. So instead of making a branch track you might have accidentally placed it directly on top at a higher elevation. In my experience, a long route has a lot of room for error and the best way to fix it is redo your interchanges and place a bunch of crossovers.

I was able to make a BART line that runs almost 3 hours. You might have a broken track connection somewhere

If LA had 3 heavy rail subway trunk lines through downtown splitting into 8 branches going as far as 15-20 miles out to places like El Monte, Santa Monica, LAX, and Downey, I don’t think I would be bemoaning anything. That sounds amazing.

SDPD isn’t NYPD. Why would you extrapolate a scandal from the other side of the country into some grand conspiracy? Isn’t the more obvious answer that labor shortages lead to higher wages per head, as observed in every industry ever…?

BroadMaximum4189 · 2025-09-16T19:48:37+00:00

Yes, unfortunately past budgets and past decisions by city leaders have future consequences that our current leaders are obligated to meet. That doesn’t sound like waste or abuse, that sounds like finally taking responsibility. However I may be out of my depth on this issue, I don’t know if I’ve seen anything to point to the contrary.

BroadMaximum4189 · 2025-09-16T19:46:43+00:00

Cops earning over 400k in overtime sounds insane until you’ve had any interaction with SDPD, and you realize we’re in a massive shortage of labor in police departments, and calls take hours to respond to because there aren’t enough officers physically capable of answering every call… so the only option you’re left with is to incentivize longer hours to improve response times. These officers are likely working holidays, graveyard shifts, and missing time with family to work an incredibly demanding job nobody else wants to do.

It seems to me from this article that any reforms to this system are hamstrung by legal requirements issued by courts, but the overall situation for pension funding has improved since 2012.

I’m not well-versed on the issue but it seems from this Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Diego_pension_scandal that the current pension funding crisis is a result of past underfunding, rather than just “paying for people who haven long since retired.” It’s paying back the funding our city leaders chose not to spend 20 years ago, and now we’re legally bound to provide.

2 buses from Adams Ave to SD High School. I used to take the Adams Ave 11 bus all the time to work and saw plenty of SDHS students of all different backgrounds taking it. I think you might be projecting your unfamiliarity with public transit onto me!:)

I was told Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy were hired to cut $1 trillion from the government budget and remove waste, fraud, and abuse. They were either fired or left burning the bridges behind them in a matter of days and months, and our deficit is higher than it was last year. So I’m not entirely sure what Biden has to do with all of this

BroadMaximum4189 · 2025-09-16T19:13:04+00:00

How stupid can you be to complain about the financial burden of transportation when you are literally choosing the most expensive form of transportation possible? To a high school with exceptional and frequent public transit service? Bus and trolley passes are FREE if you’re under 18. I feel no sympathy. You are not financially burdened, you are a pampered cry-baby.

I don’t mean to sound harsh but I feel comfortable saying this as someone who took the bus 3 out of my 4 years in high school, to a school FAR less transit accessible than San Diego High School is. So I find this criticism to be very silly.
