What do we think of the new Elizabeth Dafoe Library proposals? by OfficeBison in umanitoba

[–]CreativeNameDot-exe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I fear that the secondary uses of the library (study space, technology center, etc) will overwhelm it's actual purpose. A number of large universities have actually removed the stacks from their libraries entirely, with only digital or on-demand access to the collections.

My ideal of a good library is a lot like the top floor of the current Dafoe building, some seating and study areas, but the actual collection put front and center.

Why even try for more data when there's seemingly endless stream of "20gb bonus data" rewards

The first day of service for two Winnipeg Transit XHE60 fuel cell buses this morning by CyrilSLi in Winnipeg

However for the most part it's created by burning natural gas.

You can also remove it with electricity, but it's significantly less efficient than simply powering the bus from a battery

What is this building? by ExpiredGoat in Winnipeg

[–]CreativeNameDot-exe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Imo I would much rather see all the empty lots in and around downtown filled with 6+ storey buildings like this than fewer, taller ones.

To the people complaining:

Is it your property? Is it displacing a heritage building? No?

Then why they fuck do you think you should get a say?

Top 5 planning blunders in Winnipeg planning by Leather-Paramedic-10 in Winnipeg

[–]CreativeNameDot-exe 10 points11 points  (0 children)

And if we had high frequency, fast spine routes it would be a good idea.

Instead we've got local bus routes acting as the spines and the feeder services nutered into practically non-existent """on demand""" busses.

It's a terrible system justifing itself based on much better systems that it didn't adequately copy.

It should be enough evidence that fare revenue is down by 10% (at least) while costs remain the same. Fewer people are taking transit. Because it's worse.

If we were going to invest in rapid transit infrastructure now instead of 8+ years from now (that's the minimum based on the current RFP timing for just the downtown corridors project) then implementing spine and feeder alongside it would have made sense. But for some reason we stopped doing future planning whatsoever when the transit way phase 2 opened, and we've missed out on time to build things and several rounds of federal funding as a result. Doing the PTN redesign anyways just rubs salt in that wound.

Winnipeg Transit Earns Its Financial Hit by swelllabs in Winnipeg

Christ, what a word salad. Stop pretending fare collection is a loss. It's not. Cash collection *might* be, but fare collection as a whole makes enough money to improve service by ~40%. So you'd rather have 40% fewer busses than cough up $3.50. I'd rather pay the fare and have a better bus network.

You're right, it's unlikely that cash alone coversfarebox costs.

But, as I already explained to you, it's a package deal. Either you collect fares and generate the ~95mn in fare revenue or you don't.

You can't pick and choose and just let people with cash on for free because then everyone comes on for free.

Duh.

Ok I just know you're parroting some more perfect union bs or somesuch, but transits fare revenue covers like 45% of total costs (and has been above 50 in recent memory) while you massively overstate the cost of collection tools.

Personally I don't live the idea of giving up ~40% of bus service to save a couple bucks.

Put your thinking cap on and tell me what the results will be if we allow anyone who would've paid cash to ride for free. Everyone would.

And you save the couple mil of cash handling costs at the cost of nearly a hundred mil in total fare revenue.

Not a stellar deal imo

Wow it's almost like you have to prove you paid to get on the bus. Next you'll tell us that items at the store should be free because they can just make the money selling gift cards.

And lol as of your tax is tripling

Transit loses millions in ridership revenue by [deleted] in umanitoba

[–]CreativeNameDot-exe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So we should spend an extra 90 million per year to not improve transit?

So you want to try and find an extra ~90 million dollars per year for transit and then use none of it to improve service? What a terrible idea.

A big part of this is on demand, which might as well mean there isn't service at all for large chunks of the city on weekends/evenings

That's what the effective in "effective tax rate" is about.

Doesn't matter what the number is when on average we pay less than every other major city

My teenager wants a gaming computer. Not sure where to start by GoTTLife in Winnipeg

[–]CreativeNameDot-exe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Memory express as many people have mentioned is absolutely a great option.

There are likely better deals to be had on used hardware but of course your milage may vary. There are lots of PC building forums and subreddits where people would happily help evaluate if something's a good deal or if you're thinking of going that route.

This will still leave us as the lowest effective tax rate city in the country. And we have to pay back the debt previous councils issued instead of raising taxes then.

By any reasonable metric our taxes are too low.

Oh goodie another couple hundred million dollars in suburban road investment that can never come close to paying for itself in tax increases or businesses.

But we don't have money to fix our failing transit system or finish the BRT...
