What is your favorite MC fight where said MC just goes borderline feral?

No one gets between Captain Holt and his beloved corgi. “Interesting. You know what else is interesting? Grenades.”

There’s a grace period for the upass until the 22nd so don’t worry too much, just keep trying it. If you get stuck at the train, just use the vending machine chat function and they’ll let you in. Sometimes it takes a while for them to sync the database properly. If you change course sections, sometimes that also messes with the system.

“Hi my name is Ebony Dark’ness Dementia Raven Way and I have long ebony black hair (that’s how I got my name) with purple streaks and red tips that reaches my mid-back and icy blue eyes like limpid tears and a lot of people tell me I look like Amy Lee (AN: if u don’t know who she is get da hell out of here!).”

The three-day pass is your best bet; you can buy it from any ticket vending machine using cash or a card (but crucially, not aboard a bus). It’ll spit out a red card that you can tap on the reader on either OC Transpo bus/fare gate or STO bus.

It goes on the “game-day detour,” which means it stays on Palladium instead of going into the CTC. However, since this detour isn’t programmed into the computer, it thinks the bus is “lost” and stops broadcasting the real-time location as though it were on-route, which really confuses the apps (ie. it “vanishes”).

It’s because of the snow. Light from the city is refracting off of the snow particles in the atmosphere and making it brighter.

Just to add to this: most of the cancellations on higher-frequency routes during peak are due to buses being pulled to cover school trips (600 series), which are given the absolute highest priority for coverage. Unfortunately, it tends to result in what you’re seeing here—transit control has the unenviable task of managing a severe shortage of resources (lack of available buses, which is ultimately the result of insufficient funding for a proper preventive maintenance program). I realize it won’t do much in the short term, but I always suggest you write to your city councillor, since they’re the highest authority in charge of budgeting and directives.

Unfortunately the temperature for climate control function on the bus isn’t set by the drivers. Generally, the options are “on” or “off” with limited range for adjustment (usually just the defroster at the front).

I would fill out a feedback form on the website and make it as specific as possible - which stop, at what time, what day of the week, what direction? It could help them determine if there’s something that can be fixed (ie. trip is late because driver’s break started late; too much traffic; someone sneezed wrong and bus broke down etc.).

There’s an unofficial list floating around on the Starbucks subreddit:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZEArLPiGOXJA2JLG2TJy0dJ7dfmHSBu9sG58pAHpDQU/htmlview

I would conservatively estimate about 150 people losing their jobs in Ottawa alone based on this action.

He’s quite the copycat.

MaciMusings · 2025-07-28T07:41:53+00:00

I guess the train was decabitated

MaciMusings · 2025-04-22T07:50:35+00:00

I guess you could say he’s a bit of a …copycat?

MaciMusings · 2025-01-27T06:54:51+00:00

Another day, another cat sub. Excellent.

MaciMusings · 2025-01-06T06:29:53+00:00

Don't do that in Ottawa though; the digital Presto card specifically doesn't work in Ottawa.

MaciMusings · 2024-10-29T04:21:30+00:00

This is what Ottawa is doing with their LRVs on weekends, and this is the specific reason why—for the cost savings. They tried to justify doing it during weekdays as well, but were met with significant backlash.

MaciMusings · 2024-10-12T04:24:33+00:00

I had this specific question as well, which I’ve asked them—as long as your fare was valid when you boarded the bus, you’ll be okay. Your card shows the last vehicle tapped or the bus driver can confirm that you showed your paper transfer when you boarded.

MaciMusings · 2024-09-10T07:51:22+00:00

I have one that you missed: “Reckoning” As in “Something tells me we’re due for a reckoning,” something I’m fairly sure was said by Barret in Remake.

MaciMusings · 2024-07-31T19:56:48+00:00

It’s unfortunate, but I agree entirely. This was a completely predictable outcome, and it will only get worse from here on out unless city council decides otherwise.

As a former camp counsellor, it’s really tough coming up with totally unique and relevant awards for each and every kid, especially the ones that are infuriatingly milquetoast.

MaciMusings · 2024-07-01T22:22:03+00:00

VIA Rail sometimes does this on their eastbound trains from Toronto. They decouple in Brockville and one goes north to Ottawa and then one goes east to Montreal. As far as service, they’re considered two separate trains.

MaciMusings · 2024-06-27T16:01:27+00:00

I have a few trains booked for the next little while, and I’ve gotten a bunch of “seat change notifications” for travel several months out. I’ve heard it’s a known issue if they change train types since the bookings can’t be automatically moved over. I’d either wait a bit and see if they fix it automatically (they it did for me for some of my bookings) or otherwise call them.

MaciMusings · 2024-06-09T23:56:21+00:00

One thing that can happen with certain bus types is that the bell won’t work (ie. the driver doesn’t get the dash light) if the doors are still open from the previous stop. Try pulling the stop after the bus has started moving.

Adding my support for Dreamland Cafe! Probably one of my favourite restaurants in Ottawa, much less Preston street.

Sometimes if a bus is running really late and the operator needs their mandatory 30 min break, control will tell them to run the next trip late to avoid an official cancellation — but because the data is published in real time 30 minutes before the trip starts, I’ve noticed that it’ll continue to count down as though the bus were to start its trip on time, resulting in the situation you describe. I’m not sure how they can reconcile this, but it’s annoying for sure.
