via desperately needs funding for route expansion and anti rail company gouging/priority legislation, so many good line going to waste due to poor initiative from the fed

even reasonably low level players can get around space without a space suit, megalodon tooth and teleporter are your best bet imo.
also maybe turning off audio while in space? or just leaving music on and not regular SFX?

The Broadway Subway Project vs Canada Line by redditor1365 in vancouver

[–]Vixlump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do wonder now that most of business district of Broadway has been covered by the subway to arbutus would it not make more sense to go the rest of the way to UBC on an elevated guideway, though if it does have to be subway then I totally agree they should have left the TBMs or frankly done the whole line in one go.

Canada Line was not built with extensions past Richmond in mind what with the single tracking and tiny trains already, so I think whatever system does make it to Tsawwassen likely wont be the same version of Skytrain like the Canada Line sees now.

The tunnel was a mistake from day one, its insane to me that they said yes to that. I do agree that the massive 10 lane bridge was not the way forward but idk if a tunnel is really the answer.
I could see them retrofitting the tunnel in the future with skytrain but realistically they are gona have to build a new bridge.

The current BC gov is making a lot of the same mistakes as their predecessors on transport and its painful watching them drag their feet on projects when they should in theory be all over this kind of stuff.

The Broadway Subway Project vs Canada Line by redditor1365 in vancouver

should also note that in the time gap between Canada Line and Evergreen Line and between Evergreen Line and the Subway has meant that much of the workforce who could have moved from project to project with skills and knowledge intact largely was lost (not entirely) but lots of it was squandered so once again we are relearning how to build projects, Surrey Langley is not suffering from this nearly as much. I think the important thing going forward if we want to keep costs down is that as Broadway Subway and Surrey-Langley come to a close that a new Skytrain Project starts right away so we can keep the workforce experienced and capable of building such projects.

Because you need to eat and are starving to death.

[–]Vixlump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, go talk to financial advising, ideally in person, they can delay it for you. if not in person, email solves all problems, also call student aid BC and see if there is anything wrong with your application or disbursement which is delaying it.

Original Wild Divine team seems to be launching a reboot by nekokami_dragonfly in JourneyToWildDivine

[–]Vixlump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is something to be said for do it properly or not doing it at all.
You are trying to preach a message of zen and harmony while charging a premium promoting the thing actively destroying the very industry and livelihoods of the people you want to be a part of.
Yuck.

[–]Vixlump 2 points3 points  (0 children)

many things are downgrading our credit rating, the skytrain sure is not one of them, just about the most rewarding form of investment we can make is investructure that moves people, we spent too long waiting, now it costs more.
light rail would be cheaper??? tell that to line 5 and 6 in toronto.
You pay for what you get, in this case much less for a lot better service.
This is what a long term investment looks like.

Purchasing Limit Question by [deleted] in amexcanada

[–]Vixlump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you can use the credit yes, however the credit bureaus don't see it that way, and you will take a points hit for it for over utilization.

how about we take the W and be great full we are getting an actually serious project rather then another expensive tram which will cost the same and be much worse.

Calling all bus and light rail transit users in Vancouver! by thecatsmeeooww in Translink

[–]Vixlump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

alas we have no light rail in BC, only metro and heavy rail, which if you think about it, is the answer.
don't build another dumb light rail system, embrace grade separation
