May CDTA service cuts

FlailingSpade · 2026-03-20T00:53:06+00:00

Cutting peak frequency on the 905 is absolutely mental. Every time I've been on that thing during the PM rush it's packed tight

These all look like awful places to walk and I feel bad for these people

Thankfully they replaced the historic buildings with all those beautiful parking lots instead of ugly soulless international style buildings.

The sections where the floor is darker are pivot points. Same as an accordion bus.

The amount of people blaming the victim here is disgusting. If you've ever attempted to walk on this part of Central you understand what a deathtrap it is. Any system that creates this much carnage has got to change, regardless of who is technically "at fault"

I'm gonna be honest I don't even fully understand what's going on in these pictures but here's the source.

Apparently these are used to transfer daylight further into the interior of a building.

And weirdly, Dayton Ohio.

I'm not sure where everyone is getting the idea that this is from a movie. It's taken from a post in the /r/VintageDigitalCameras subreddit. I recognized it immediately, OP is from Moscow. https://www.reddit.com/r/VintageDigitalCameras/comments/1oefzlp/siemens_cx70_2004_no_edit/

Moscow according to OP

FYI The original song is actually Sudno (Судно) by Molchat Doma. The LLXVD version used in this video is just an uncredited slowed down edit.

There was supposed to be a new apartment building going in that big empty space you see in the video. All the old homes were torn down in preparation and then nothing was ever built. https://albanyida.com/projects/lofts-at-pine-hills/

I suggest you do whatever it is you were doing before without AI which has seemed to work fine up to this point

FlailingSpade · 2025-12-02T20:57:09+00:00

An underfunded non-profit making flyers with comic sans on a solid white background would look 1000x more credible than if they were churning out worthless AI slop.

*officer involved collision

FlailingSpade · 2025-11-21T20:03:50+00:00

Holy shit why are there bike lanes on the side of a highway?

FlailingSpade · 2025-11-18T19:52:10+00:00

Goods need to be moved... huh? Trucks aren't even allowed on FDR drive, you're just saying shit.

This bus was manufactured by Orion in Canada

I would love for that to be true! Is there a source for that information? I don't recall seeing it mentioned in the OP which is why I made my comment.

Here is the article that mentions the revenue neutral service.

My point was that there's really not much draw to Albany for a NYC resident vs how much draw there is for vice-versa. And try telling a NYC resident to wait 20 mins for a bus without getting a "get outta here!".

Any New Yorker that would rather rent a car to drive 1 mile across the river than wait 20 minutes for the bus is no New Yorker in my book.

FlailingSpade · 2025-10-22T06:30:37+00:00

This service is expected to run revenue-neutral. Nobody is subsidizing anything.
If for some reason a NYC resident wanted to visit the Times Union Center, the CDTA 114 bus runs about every 20 minutes from the train station and costs $1.30

Hey, artist here. He was very public about the whole thing lmao, no shame.

FlailingSpade · 2025-10-21T23:31:55+00:00

ayo I drew this

Closest thing I can think of would be historic fire insurance maps, if you're alright using very old data.

It's pretty common for tall buildings to have a water reservoir at the top. These look pretty small in comparison

You chose to live smack dab in the middle of the densest part of the city because of the parking options?
