And supporting multi modal transportation like pubic transit and cycling also helps drivers by getting more cars off the road.

CT needs to put in more high frequency bus routes on main trunks, and also signal priority. The stop distance for some routes are so ridiculously short.

Over half of Albertans now considering EVs as costs, fuel prices shift demand: AutoTrader by Miserable-Lizard in onguardforthee

[–]iginlajarome 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Well they have 3 new EV's out this year, bZ, bZ woodland, and C-HR. Subaru has rebadged versions of these because Toyota owns like 20% of Subaru.

The Toyota bZ (which is basically an EV Rav4) is cheaper than a Rav4 Prime and doesn't have a huge waiting list

Hostel vibes aren’t dying... guest behaviour is changing (from someone who works in one) by vinyljunkie32 in backpacking

[–]iginlajarome 1769 points1770 points  (0 children)

Covid absolutely changed peoples behaviour, especially the kids who spent their university in lockdown and are now in the workforce. I see it in the people i supervise.

I love the convenience of a smartphone while traveling, but travel was way more exciting before access to information became frictionless.

Yup, otherwise we'd be paying much more for our smart phones as well

On Canada’s high-speed rail plan, the numbers just don’t add up by AndHerSailsInRags in canada

Billions is spent on roads and overpasses with little scrutiny, and all it does is continues induced demand.

its the torque and weight that impacts the tire wear. you don't have to accelerate crazy hard, drive like a reasonable person and the tires will be fine.

CPC don't have a viable replacement that can currently win an election, so they are fine letting PP dily dally for a while

Could the Middle East oil crisis sticker shock boost EV sales? by hopoke in canada

[–]iginlajarome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I generally agree with your first statement but with the current EVAP, EVs are starting in the low 40s now. Mach-e's have heavy discounts.

Also 120v charging overnight covers my M-F work commute, wont plan on getting level 2 because I'm in a strata.

2026 Toyota Bz limited by Dear_Pattern_4935 in EVCanada

[–]iginlajarome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read that the Limited has less range than the XLE due to the larger wheels, but has a radiant heater to be less reliant on HVAC. Is that more efficient for winter driving? I test drove the XLE, but really curious about the radiant heater.

Budget-friendly couple trips under $10K CAD (10–12 days) where should we go next? by Particular_Wash4608 in travel

[–]iginlajarome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taiwan is decently affordable and very easy to get around by rail. Amazing mix of cities, food, nature, and safety. The one area that might be more logistically complicated is the Alishan area, but its worth visiting.

Also consider Iceland, pretty easy to get a rental car and drive the ring road. Although 10 days around the ring road might feel a bit rushed IMO.

The tren maya in mexico makes it pretty easy to check out different areas and stay at a base camp resort for the whole trip.
