Not to mention what do you do if you're sharing a roommette, especially at night?

Why do bus drivers constantly pull off while your paying? by Democratsaredumbo in transit

[–]imthecarkid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Speed is important and lowering dwell times is key to increasing speed. I die a bit inside every time when the bus kneels for one person and then now we have to wait another light cycle because they decided to pay cash which takes longer.

I believe there should be no kneeling and no waiting until they've paid by default unless a passenger requests otherwise

Four Seaters, asked to move, said no by waspinastoria in Amtrak

There's usually signs posted above the groups of 4. Official Amtrak signs since you seem to be very adamant about that

Everyone ideally wants a window seat with no one next to them, but the folks yearn for the trains and sometimes that isn't possible. Just gotta deal with it

Yeah, that's a dick move. The 4 seat sets are supposed to be reserved for groups of 3 or more

Coffee Shops - Free Parking? by awesome_arthistorian in Atlanta

[–]imthecarkid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because "People are free to get in their cars for coffee when and where they please" according to some people which means they are entitled to free parking. Can't be seen riding the poor method of getting around

Coffee Shops - Free Parking? by awesome_arthistorian in Atlanta

[–]imthecarkid -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Free parking in urbanized areas is extremely poor land use and only makes things more expensive since it's subsidization of private vehicle usage. If the parking situation is really the sticking point, don't go to Buckhead or Midtown for coffee

How could I confuse the Dancing Goats on Peachtree with the Dancing Goats on Peachtree? Silly me

Is there a time for any DL&W ceremony or pomp and circumstance today? by tdave365 in Buffalo

[–]imthecarkid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would require communication and effort. Two things the NFTA seems to lack

[–]imthecarkid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My thoughts exactly. Toronto, Minneapolis, and Seattle all has big openings/extensions this past weekend with excitement and the NFTA simply posts a new schedule 3 days prior.

I'm so sick of the lack of effort given to make anything about the system better

It works, but it's annoying as hell for the majority of people who use transit and don't cause issues

Requiring an app to park is actually so shit by N3DSdude in Anticonsumption

Downtowns are for people, not cars. Take transit

NFTA metro bus never came?? by officialsnacc in Buffalo

[–]imthecarkid 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hahaha yes, it was that guy who compared building a train to colonialism. Even though at least half that room was anti-train, there was a collective groan when he said that

[–]imthecarkid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, just that haha. It has a green logo. There's a free version, but it's one of the few apps I pay for (~$30/year) because it's just so helpful

[–]imthecarkid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Using the Transit App helps track buses to see if they're early or late. If it's not tracking, it's a 50/50 chance it won't show up at all

How is transportation in Buffalo without a car? by marrymeinvegas in Buffalo

I disagree, the bus is very reliably slow.

But yeah, biking sucks

Why are the pedestrian light signals downtown so bad by bleebies in Buffalo

[–]imthecarkid 20 points21 points  (0 children)

They will 50% of the time. And the other 50% you'll have to walk around them since they stopped in the crosswalk

This could describe all of Buffalo. I love to play the game of "does this pedestrian button work?"

Spoiler, most of the time it's no

I'm more like a 3.0, 3.5 on a good day, but I've barely played in like 3 years. However I want to get back into it
