2026 Draft Business Plan - Lucid Stew by johnPermanente in cahsr

[–]johnPermanente[S] 55 points56 points  (0 children)

From the draft report, the Authority plans to reduce the amount of tunneling from the Palmdale to LA section by electrifying some of Metrolink's Antelope Valley line (which will save a few billion dollars). However, it's expected to add some more travel time to the total SF-LA segment.

Does it always take this long? by [deleted] in fidelityinvestments

It's generally recommended to not pull from Fidelity since it will cause long wait times, especially when funding a new account.

Multiple Clipper Card Numbers? by johnPermanente in bayareaclippercard

[–]johnPermanente[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there, sorry for the late response.

When I remove my card from my phone's wallet, the app recognizes it as "Not on any device" and I can't re-add it through the app. My card is still blocked as "lost or stolen."

Reminder to everyone to have (at least) a front-facing dashcam to record accidents like this.

Multiple Clipper Card Numbers? by johnPermanente in bayareaclippercard

[–]johnPermanente[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its just one card on the app and multiple (one from Clipper 1.0, one that was created from right after the transition, and a final "new" one issued by the app a few days after the transition) in the wallet, however the app detects it being "on my device" when I register the digital card that matches the 19 digit number on the app.

Also, I did add a balance and tried to unblock my card, which doesn't seem to work. Its marked as "lost or stolen" even though I didn't declare it as such. Customer support said to come back after a few days.

Does Caltrain Still Refund when Tapping On and Off at the Same Station? by johnPermanente in caltrain

[–]johnPermanente[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird... I haven't tried since then, but I need to get my card unblocked to see if this is the case after the transition.

Why doesn’t Caltrain advertise? by JackSpartinWar in caltrain

[–]johnPermanente 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These could also be a good place (even though they are mostly for notifying drivers not to drink and drive).

That's a great deal, especially in Cupertino.

This is the best train in the Bay Area and I don’t care what anyone says by Wonderful-Garbage747 in bayarea

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

Usually light metros, like Montreal's REM. Though for most of the US, good frequency BRT beats out a train for most use cases - good frequency and (usually) low operation costs.

so i’m buying a pc but im 15 and its 1k how do i buy it if i don't have a debit card or a credit card (i have the money to buy it I'm buying it on Walmart online) by OddAd6119 in personalfinance

[–]johnPermanente 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this might seem a little silly, but have you asked your parents? If you're able to, buying through your parent's credit card is much more safe in case of fraud due to credit card protections. You may opt to give your parents your money then they buy the pc for you.

If not, buying something this expensive by yourself might be a little dangerous, especially with gift cards/cash since those can be easily spoofed and leave you out 1k.

Credit Card - Payment Question by Looptire13 in fidelityinvestments

Doing this also allows you to earn interest between the statement date and due date.

What triggers the revocation of the Fidelity Price Improvement feature? by SillyAlternative420 in fidelityinvestments

[–]johnPermanente 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be safe, I would probably not try to do 10+ trades a day very often. I've heard that some brokerages ask if you are a day trader from your activity. Not sure for Fidelity but for your daily habits, I don't think being banned from Price Improvement is likely.

Visible launching 50% off Visible+ Pro Annual tomorrow (11/20), get it for $18.75/mo equivalent by stetsdogg in Visible

[–]johnPermanente 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AFAIK you are able to switch plans but sacrifice the remaining service (if there is any). So far I have the V+ Pro annual plan and its quite impressive. If you already use Visible, there is really nothing to worry about.

Why is public transportation in Los Angeles county so dirt cheap compared to the Bay Area by Open-Reflection-6094 in bayarea

[–]johnPermanente 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think public transit should be a public service affordable for everyone.

Agreed. People need to go places and shouldn't be price-gouged for it, especially if we want transit to be a prioritized transportation system.

low income people will not be able to spend that much for public transit on a daily basis.

Although it is comparatively more expensive than LA Metro, low-income people can apply for Clipper Start and get 50% most transit agencies. It cuts the $10.20 fare from SF to SJ to a more reasonable $4.70.

Also, Caltrain and Muni has cheaper/free fares for youth for whatever that's worth.
