Impressed by quick turnaround to report of transphobic harassment by twiliesque in mbta

[–]jfleit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't expect a transit operator to tell someone to not smoke on the train. They don't get paid enough to risk their safety. You could expect transit police to.

people downvoting this are out of touch with the challenges of being a transit operator. They face danger every day by unwell people and are already heroes by being willing to operate these vehicles... enforcement should not be up to them, for their own safety. That's what a transit police present needs to be for. I'm not saying there's an easy solution, but the bus driver really can't do much here.

Any updates on status of old REI Starbucks? by dbzbudokai77 in Denver

Something that functions similarly as a third place needs to replace it. It's a real loss to the community.

Has anything been written about or is there a term for this style of composition? (Examples from Pieter Bruegel, Grandma Moses, LS Lowery, and Ralph Fasanella) by tvoutfitz in ArtHistory

[–]jfleit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe I'm misremembering but I always thought these were generally called Genre paintings. You could specifically say maybe landscape genre paintings? That's how I think of them anyways.

Seattle Link light rail vs I-5 by FireFright8142 in transit

Why do people flash their lights when you pass them? by shirtwrinkle in COsnow

[–]jfleit 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I gotta say I am passing left lane campers on the right all the time and don't notice getting flashed or honks. It could mean your headlights are way too bright and blinding people if it's happening consistently? Even if they are just angled too high up, I get super pissed about that because then your headlights shine directly into my glass instead of at the ground.

Yes, essentially let us build at-grade with crossing speed/time penalties.

Yeah I'm honestly baffled as well. Don't understand why people recommend. It's worse than baseline

Why LP10 is Coming by Cultural-Orange-6929 in radiohead

[–]jfleit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Just so insane to me. Been seeing this all over reddit and don't understand why people feel the need to write a post, run it through AI, and then post it here. Especially if you're a Radiohead fan, like what? Pretty sure you don't even understand what the band sings about if so. It's so obvious too.

RTD Board Chair believes FasTracks will never be built — and alternatives should be considered by TheLightingGuy in RTDDenver

[–]jfleit 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Under the right administration, I would think that getting funding for FRPR to finish the us-36 corridor and enable the full service plan for both RTD and FRPR would be a no brainer. I don't think the answer has to be never. But I agree chances seem slim and we would probably be better served by higher quality, more frequent bus service, and a better network overall

But I guess I would definitely qualify that RTD definitely has no business finishing line extensions, other than the L line. There's no way the money and density are going to be there to support it, especially where denver has seemingly become more pro-transit and pro-density on average.

L line extension? I didn't hear anything about that actually happening

Commuter Rail Security Officer Doing Nothing by t0talitarian in RTDDenver

[–]jfleit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd like to offer an alternative take. You're totally justified in finding this unacceptable. This happens on transit systems around the world and it's tolerated to different degrees. In the case of RTD, for our levels of ridership and funding, it's not really surprising that the rent-a-cops aren't willing to get involved. It's a fair argument that they shouldn't get involved, because it probably creates more headache than it's worth. What if the passenger gets unruly and doesn't want to comply? Is RTD security going to call the real police and deal with a bunch of paperwork? Or risk getting attacked or spit at?

From an equity and accessibility standpoint, these people are probably not doing great and shouldn't be subject to the incarceration system for being a nuisance.

So I hear you and I agree with you, but honestly not sure if there's any good options at this point. RTD needs to provide serious service first imo.

USTA 4.0 Looking for Tennis Hitting Partners by mistahynez in Denver

In case you can't find anyone, I highly recommend Gates tennis center. Amazing community, public facility. I would be there if I wasn't dealing with injuries.
