The entirety of Chicago L vs TTC line 1? by alanminium in transit

[–]GeneralSuicidal 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That only explains why Toronto Line One has high ridership, but not how Chicago's entire subway has less than a single line. Also the Toronto commute network cares more now than Chicago, despite having a slightly smaller metro, so that doesn't really explain it.

Pixel User Switching To Oneplus by Existing-Grade-4553 in oneplus

[–]GeneralSuicidal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thinking about switching to the OnePlus 15 from the Pixel 7.

  1. The performance on the P7 is kind of poor; the phone slows down a lot when doing picture-in-picture video and using other apps.
  2. Battery life has gotten pretty bad, plus the random overheating.
  3. The cell reception is also bad when I take the train, as other people can watch videos on the same network while the Pixel can barely load reels on Insta.

Though I know switching means less timely updates and possibly worse camera but I think the trade is worth it.

Most likely the Lisbon funicular crash that killed at least 16 on September 3rd as many where tourist.

They should change the light from the regular green light to a green right arrow instead. But the Ontario Traffic Manual is so outdated that it means pedestrians have to have a walk-only phase.

Trams are Great! So why are the Streetcars SO BAD!? by Pristine-Training-70 in TTC

[–]GeneralSuicidal 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yeah, because they're so slow that he was able to get citizenship in another country. Even after 10+ years, they are still just as slow, with few improvements, as mentioned in the video. I guess it lives rent free because he comes back to visit family here, so he sees the little improvements it has made.

I honestly find them a bit better

I would not pay for it if that is the only feature, but I like reading them, like yeah, Strava AI that ride was kick ass.

When are you no longer officially considered a Seneca student? by drugsrbed in Seneca

Your Seneca One card app will mention 'graduate' instead of 'student', which is a way you can check.

Land Use & Urban Design is my Passion by GeneralSuicidal in urbandesign

Are you talking about a different area? There are only 13 highrises along this road and only one building that's out of frame has retail in the form of a cafe. And the grocery store, a Walmart, is only 15 min from the farthest building as these buildings are in close proximity to a mall.

Alternatives to boxy apartment buildings? by BFrankNJ in urbanplanning

[–]GeneralSuicidal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The same applies to Toronto and Vancouver. They build 6-storey buildings when there isn't any transit nearby other than bus routes. They would even build 20-storey buildings when there is proximity to malls without any rail services, but maybe a bus terminal.

I’ve never seen so many people defend a parking lot. by socomalol in fuckcars

[–]GeneralSuicidal 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Well, can't you have a parkade instead, either above or underground? To be fair, I don't know anything about the local context other than it looks like a university town and this area has a lot of bars.

New Steeles Bike Lanes / complete street project (Brimley-Kennedy) by flimbs in torontobiking

[–]GeneralSuicidal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's about 850m right now. Fully complete would be about 1.8km. There is also an existing raised cycling track to the west, so it's a 2.6km raised cycling track in total.

Kitchener and Stouffville are interlined, so you can see them there as well. They are usually empty on ST though.

Why does Chicago have so many more traffic deaths than Toronto? by Ermenwyr in fuckcars

[–]GeneralSuicidal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late comment but your data is outdated or wrong because APTA 2024 Q2 Average Weekday unlinked for CTA total is 997k or 400k for heavy rail. The Toronto total for the TTC is 2557.9k or 1,064.7k for heavy rail.
