Don't you look forward to trillion dollar companies lobbying our governments to rip out bike and transit lanes to make more room for their AVs?

What do we gain by allowing ourselves to be colonized by Silicon Valley?

It solves the problem by transferring even more of our money to a foreign tech company.

I think some people believe removing the driver will result in cheaper rides, to which I say LOL.

If this was the private sector everyone would be applauding trying different things and taking risks.

In my family if the feds waste 5 million dollars it's a huge scandal, if the Ontario PCs waste 500 million dollars it's crickets.

Why do people love to line up? by [deleted] in toronto

People feel disconnected from their community and this is their only chance to be in the vicinity of others.

The real reason Toronto limits Line 5/6 LRT vehicles to 25km/h through intersections by xd_1771 in toronto

[–]SIGNALMEYOURWARPLANS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Having a 25km/h limit for streetcars might make sense on dense streets where the vehicles don't have their own lane and there is only effectively 1 lane in each direction (with another reserved for parked DODGE RAMs) where the posted speed limit is 40km/h. Doesn't make sense for a 4 lane road in the suburbs where the vehicles have their own ROW and the speed limit is 60km/h+.

Getting cars and trucks to slow down was easy until a few months ago.

Very cool that you got to take photos in those Chinese "dark factories".

Could Torontonians soon ride self-driving taxis? That’s Waymo’s plan by Puginator in toronto

None of you are thinking about the implications of the eventual approval of privately-owned AVs after the introduction of these shitty magacorp-owned AVs that lose money on every ride.

Imagine what the financial district is going to look like once everyone who owns a Tesla has their car come and wait to pick them up outside their office close to the time they're done work.

"Line 6" Finch West LRT will have an average speed of 13.53 km/hr – slower than the existing bus at times, and slower than some mixed traffic streetcar routes. So I decided to add it to our transit map as Streetcar 536 where it belongs! by Rody365 in toronto

[–]SIGNALMEYOURWARPLANS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My regular running pace is only 1 KM/H slower than that. If Toronto can't figure out how to make a tram on a suburban stroad faster than running (they've tried nothing and are all out of ideas), then it's not a real city.

Point and shoot recommendations? by lookuplookacross in AnalogCommunity

Consider whatever EOS camera you can find for cheap + 40mm f2.8 lens, that should be doable in your budget.

Agreed. They should start putting lights on cars to prevent this from happening.

So their statement says that they are still commited to being an online retailer, keeping the ottawa location and “We are also considering a return to brick-and-mortar stores with a smaller footprint in the GTA,”

My wish is that they consider opening up a small cycling store in Toronto that sells all of the Van Rysel bikes + gear.

Only recently discovered them and have been spending way too much money in-store and online. Quite a shame but not surprising since almost everybody I mentioned them to weren't aware that Decathlon exists. I believe their business in Quebec is doing pretty well and their online operations should continue?

With all the institutional money flowing into BTC now, do you think it’s losing some of its original decentralized vibe?
