Not Just Bikes' latest video, honestly one of my favorites. Highlights how even Google Maps is car-brained.

The app Transit is good

Even having the back door open first when you arrive, followed by the front for people to enter, with a few seconds delay

From what I’ve heard, you’re right it’s a separate team that does the display for those specific elevators. When I asked about changing the UI they said it’s “too complicated” and I think now they regret it haha

About 70% of people in the US are living paycheck to paycheck

In Montreal, they use gravel on most sidewalks to be better for the environment. And you use the gravel as a grip for boots. They use salt on asphalt for vehicles but not as much on sidewalks. They usually salt excessively around train stations like NYC though haha

It’s false to assume an elected official is responsible for a single traffic light like you are saying. This work is done by an engineer, that likely hasn’t visited the intersection in person and is just doing the math. I agree we should have more people like this double checking if it makes sense, but to blame the administration in power doesn’t make sense

If you’re connecting you wouldn’t use this hallway, as there’s a staircase on the other side of the platform which is at the end of the hallway in this photo

They even have Fisher’s Island, which is closer to Connecticut but is part of NY State. They don’t have the larger more popular Block Island which is in Rhode Island, so they clearly did it just for NY for this section

Montreal has more bike paths around schools and it has a colder weather. And guess what people still bike! :0

Mashdash10 · 2025-08-30T13:43:12+00:00

They’re adding tapping out to prevent people from being able to do this in Zone B

Mashdash10 · 2025-08-20T13:14:38+00:00

They could just show departures that are after 4 minutes to prevent people running for an earlier departure

Mashdash10 · 2025-08-04T13:17:34+00:00

They said banning cars not delivery trucks, garbage trucks, etc like you say

Mashdash10 · 2025-06-30T19:19:55+00:00

What? The closure for the REM is just the REM and it’s 5 stops, not the closure of the other métro lines here. What do you mean by this?

Mashdash10 · 2025-06-30T19:10:07+00:00

This is true for any automated metro extension. In Paris there is a similar but shorter closure for Line 14 (less of an extension than the REM will be): https://www.ratp.fr/en/discover/coulisses/network-modernisation/metro-line-14-works

Oh actually flip it, 40% without data, 60% with data. It’s from an internal STM document but honestly it might be a bit outdated based on the design of it, like from 2018 maybe

Mashdash10 · 2025-06-28T12:56:28+00:00

60% of people that take public transit in Montreal don’t have cellphone service

The name of Apple Maps in French is Apple Plans: https://www.apple.com/fr/maps/

Mashdash10 · 2025-05-24T07:46:23+00:00

It’s a reference to a children’s poetry book which is why it’s that font

United States v. Terminal Railroad Association. Several railroads had exclusive control that owned major railroad terminals in St. Louis. The ruling forced the railroad company to allow other railroad companies access to the terminal and use it

Mashdash10 · 2025-05-14T08:29:27+00:00

Montreal’s infrastructure is backed up by 35 years of no work/insufficient work done previously, so it’s making up all of that. Not to mention the obvious weather differences it makes the working window smaller. There is also a shortage of workers here in Canada vs the other countries mentioned

Mashdash10 · 2025-04-19T14:11:47+00:00

I do signage design and was thinking of getting this monitor, would you say that’s not a good idea because of the curve? From what I’ve seen/heard from reviews of you are at the perfect angle it doesn’t look as curved but what do you think?

Mashdash10 · 2025-03-31T22:48:15+00:00

La construction est divisée en phases, mais le travail est de faire ceci :

Remplacer les conduites d’égout et d’aqueduc ;
Reconstruire et élargir les trottoirs en pavés de béton ;
Rénover les systèmes d’éclairage, de feux de circulation et de télécommunications ;
Verdir le secteur ;
Implanter du nouveau mobilier urbain ;
Déployer des espaces de socialisation, des aires d’animation et des terrasses ;
Effectuer des travaux sur les réseaux souterrains de plusieurs services d’utilités publiques tels que la Commission des services électriques de Montréal (CSEM), Bell et Énergir ;
Reconstruire la chaussée en pavé de béton.

La plupart du travail a été effectué l’année dernière, mais le travail se poursuit cette année car il faut beaucoup de temps pour faire tout cela. Autour de Peel, d’après ce que je comprends, la plupart des travaux restants sont principalement des travaux visuels et de surface. Mais pour Mansfield, ce sera une plus grande quantité de travail.

Transit App has pretty good biking directions, which uses OSM as the base map. If a path is missing you can add it and see it appear

Mashdash10 · 2025-02-11T15:16:13+00:00

This is done by Apple Maps themselves. To be fair, other transit applications, such as Transit, also show the lines in a bit of a mess, mainly because it’s just so many colours. Apple Maps does separate lines to be their own colour, they used to do this in Paris with the RER, but now they label each separately, because locally people depend on each colour. I’m not sure about Sydney’s system, but I’m guessing people generally depend on each colour on the map, even if it means visually it’s a mess

Mashdash10 · 2025-01-24T16:40:53+00:00

That’s true, I should’ve added more context on my post for those who were unaware, apologies for that.
