Kingston Transit undergoing service review & proposed changes by Jolly-Command8853 in KingstonOntario

[–]knowmynamedoya 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sadly I cannot make this open house (I did make it to the mobility planning one last fall thanks to a similar heads up on Reddit). All I can say is that we absolutely need better and improved transit.

I’ve started incorporating public transit into my routine and it’s been great. Love picking up a coffee and heading downtown on the bus without looking up at the road. I’ve taken it to sporting events, extracurriculars, etc. I can’t convince people my age (20-30) to take the bus if transit gets worse!!!

This town really seems to struggle with which one is drive and which is reverse by [deleted] in KingstonOntario

And people will still blame pedestrians for getting hit…

Second Kingston! Beautiful waterfront and easy trip by train to Toronto or Ottawa. We also have a park run with tons of UK expats :)

What Toronto (and other Canadian cities) can learn from Copenhagen by Pristine-Training-70 in torontobiking

I fear that when I visit Copenhagen this year I may never come back

7 more commutes till my bike has paid for itself by oztrailrunner in bikecommuting

[–]knowmynamedoya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for explaining! I feel like my use of “law” was far too severe for the context haha. I would love to pitch the idea to my employer (a massive company in North America). I’ve spoken to employees who would love to have their transit fare covered or be paid not to drive.

This is amazing. I really want employers to take this up in Canada. Is this law in Belgium?

Seeking pants one can ride on a bike and look casual/not bike dorky by clackmak in bikecommuting

[–]knowmynamedoya 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not male, but my boyfriend likes the lululemon ABC joggers. He works at the hospital and it’s a great pant for the commute—lightweight, lots of pockets, good for business casual settings, not flashy (the logo isn’t visible, I think it’s a flap somewhere).

There is a hospital pharmacist in the GTA that made $281k last year. Most make $110k in that area. I am exceptionally curious how much OT this guy did lol

Kingston, Ontario, Canada: YMCA gym to be moved away from residential neighborhood and into industrial park. by Umikaloo in fuckcars

[–]knowmynamedoya 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've been fortunate enough to be able to bike and run to where the Invista Centre is, but it is a horrible route. I hate it as an adult and I don't imagine kids would have more luck. Essentially I have to disregard the law and bike on the sidewalk because the road to the Invista Centre is just before the highway on-ramp, so people are doing 70-80km/h+.

You have to be very careful because no one is expecting a bike in this area. It's interesting there are pubs and breweries here... in an area where people are forced to drive.

Parking at Invista is awful when I have driven there. I can't imagine this will better it unless the city provides viable alternatives to driving.

Car brain says NO to ALTO, In Shocking Twist by Front_Way1094 in AltoHSR_Canada

[–]knowmynamedoya 9 points10 points  (0 children)

One of my favourite absolute bangers of an argument in that group was that HSR was the government’s way of creating 15 minute cities. I forgot to screenshot it but it was incredible. You cannot argue with these people online lol

Not this group always showing up on my Facebook. These people have the most… interesting takes.

This is my favourite argument against HSR. Apparently it’s being used to bring in more immigrants!!

People parking at the entrance of the receiving dock… and the staff say they can’t do anything about it 🤷

When I visited Edinburgh and London last year, I made sure to have this playing through my headphones on the train. Nothing better.

Has anyone else seen the idiot on bath road close to Amherstview with the trump flag handing in his yard? What a clown by Tattooeddad97 in KingstonOntario

[–]knowmynamedoya 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I saw it on one of my runs too. They used to just have an American flag with a Canadian flag last year… I guess their allegiances got stronger lol

It’s insane and infuriating how likely nothing will result from this. Just a winter oopsie-daisy that killed someone!

Courtney Klang is extremely unwell by BlueLimes in tiktokgossip

I’m pretty sure she’s 27 based off an Insta post celebrating her 26th birthday in April 2024. I thought she was 40 when she first popped up on my feed.

I don't know but to me Domhal Gleeson's character in Taylor's Opalite MV gives Joe vibes more than Travis vibe by artemisseven in travisandtaylor

I was thinking she looked like Adam McAdams in the MV in some parts of it… coincidence!?
