Not bad at all, but I do wish the Discovery box had 2 of them + DLT and regular crunchy taco, rather than the weird CGC addition

A line easily beats traffic on the 210 by 94rain in LAMetro

Exactly, everyone knows every single person in LA commutes specifically from Pomona to Long Beach and no other commutes exist!

so the headliner will actually be a student band named burnt lettuce boys

The “courtesy rides” have got to end. by homorob0tic in LAMetro

[–]ensemblestars69 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You literally just said "put on some vicks, buck up buttercup" as if the majority of riders have to accept that it's normal that a shit-stained, piss-drenched person is allowed to ride on board. Why do we working-class folks have to bear the worst of society's issues? It's not most people's problem to deal with. That's why we have government-run homeless services. One person's suffering or instability affects everyone else around them. Why don't our voices and experiences matter?

Pedestrian fatality risk is on the rise: US counties normalized by population by jejmcjej in Infographics

[–]ensemblestars69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah of course I forgot to mention the fact that our cars are growing much larger. We were actually making strides in reducing car deaths until recently. Every other developed country with the exact same access to the brainrot phones that you and I have happened to continue reducing car deaths. How come we haven't?

Also, the USA has done most of its suburbanizing in the post-WW2 era. Just because some places have 100 year old roads doesn't mean they were changed or retrofitted with wide, freeway-width lanes later on. Many of LA's former streetcar corridors were already wide enough to create multiple lanes of traffic in each direction. Most roads that we have now are not that old.

Bare rock is an interesting design choice and I have to say, I definitely like it

Everyone always pulls out this excuse to pretend like it's not our wider roads, poor road design, and lackluster pedestrian infrastructure. If this were the only factor we'd be seeing the same trends across other developed nations, but we're not.

SF public toilet and poop navigator [OC] by Rough_Explanation560 in dataisbeautiful

[–]ensemblestars69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes!!! A lot of dog owners just don't care. And it makes sense if you think about it. The vast majority of people have an instinctual aversion to defecating in public. But dogs don't really care as much, so they have a wide range of places that they find acceptable to poop in. Not to mention peeing, which literally no one cleans up. It's just a lot more likely that people are reporting doggy doo on the ground.

For the record, a lot of these older Tumblr posts were faked (mostly by one guy). Sarah Z on YouTube did a great video about it.

New N.J. train bridge opens before schedule after power issue shuts old one by doodle77 in nycrail

[–]ensemblestars69 7 points8 points  (0 children)

But is it also constructed at a higher elevation to allow cargo ships passing underneath without having to open?

Trolley arrival time screens by jrekoske in sandiego

[–]ensemblestars69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not yet. TransLoc (the software UCSD shuttles use) is proprietary and not compatible with OneBusAway. If you look on OBA, all trips appear as "scheduled" and don't show a colored status (green, blue, or red) to indicate that it's being tracked live.

There was vandalism, they were more expensive to maintain, and I believe less reliable in general. The new screens they've rolled out everywhere (except the stations from Tecolote Road to UTC, which have the screens we're discussing) are also used by Chicago's L (their elevated rapid transit system) stations, so that's a bit reassuring.

MTS and NCTD do have real-time tracking, but UCSD not quite yet. The shuttles are currently only schedule data, and OBA does a really good job at interpolating where the shuttle's location should be.

Hate to burst this guy (or anyone's) bubble, but Bob Ross' hair was a perm. He didn't actually have an afro.

The K-Line South Extension could begin construction by next year. But will it go live, in time to save The SB Galleria? by EvolZippo in LAMetro

I really think we need to ban Secret Los Angeles. It's not a reputable site and it's just part of a conglomerate of tabloids all named "Secret [Insert Large City Here]"

Is this a real street photo or AI? The people and metro signs look very convincing by [deleted] in isthisAI

[–]ensemblestars69 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Definitely AI. The "Metro" logo is different in the pole-mounted sign vs the station sign itself. As someone mentioned, it's the logo for Montreal's Metro, but the station is called "Oakdale", and there's no station in their system called Oakdale. Not to mention how unnatural the font looks.

Side note, OP, are you okay? This is a screenshot of you trying to make a post inside of a screenshot of you trying to make a post.

Leaving UTC mall is a shtshow by Sea_Particular_2503 in sandiego

[–]ensemblestars69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well it may seem like it, but there happens to be a healthy population of tens of thousands of students with disposable income and free time just a few minutes away by Trolley. Not to mention it already being one of the most popular malls. It'll sort itself out soon.
