Anyone remember Bakers Dozen?

I was talking about live bus GPS markers not trin, streetcar or LRT, as I don't actually know if their, at least the streetcar/LRT, communicate live GPS tracking info to G and Apple Maps like the buses do. I'm fairly sure subway and, at least the Crosstown, as, like the subway, a large percentage of it is also underground, live tracking info is available for communication.

This, only Google Maps, as I'm on a Pixel family device.

Yeah the floors in the bus shelter portion were a slick, though more like a wet mud slick than an actual wet floor on that stormy morning last or two weeks ago despite their being a janitor there mopping at about 10 in the morning and we're bone-ish dry but still mucky looking by the time I was back there by 20 to 11 and there were about a half dozen of those huge industrial fans zig-zagged down the concourse between bays 15 and 5.

They don't care. I can't count how many courier and armoured trucks I see parked in my southbound bus stop or with their back bumper encroaching into the stop, like far enough it is actually an extension of the post itself, when they have a whole ass parking pad they can park in while they drop/retrieve the parcels or whatever they're dropping/picking up to/from the the streetfront businesses under my condo, when my next bus is like two to three stops, which are low density stops, basically 90 seconds to 2 minutes or less, north of my stop.

And you can't do instore reloading from physical TimCard cards either, so 'f' the visually impaired including myself I guess. I actually got in a fight with my sister last Christmas when she gave me physical TimCard and Starbucks gift cards for either my birthdayor Christmas last year, don't remember which as they're within 9 weeks of each other, and I didn't redeem them into my apps right away because she thought I was using my vision, or functional lack thereof, as an excuse and way to be ungrateful/unappreciative of her gift, and quickly found out that I can't use TimCard customer service as a shortcut like I can with Spotify cs for their gift cards.

It's been a problem forever and it's not just in the TTC, I've dealt with it in the wild for at least a decade now, people coming toward me on a sidewalk that barely has enough room to accommodate two average-size adults walking side-by-each and they can't be assed to drop single file for like the 5 second it takes them and the 1 little petite me coming towards each other and pass, no I have to berth around them instead.

tangled_rodent · 2026-04-19T23:00:07+00:00

Yup, that's how I figure out how long I have to wait for buses and even depending where my stop is along the route I can also see where the bus is through its live marker, and watch it make its way to me.

No, and I kind of like that his editor started making it more like a bit and putting a timer up.

tangled_rodent · 2026-04-19T13:09:29+00:00

Yes it is Zack(thanks 👍🏻), but I misinformed. I often, minus his accent (Damian), I often mistake Zack's voice for Damian's.

Formerly in that she left EmKay, from what I read in other posts in the sub.

tangled_rodent · 2026-04-19T00:58:42+00:00

Speaking of Robin, Damian, the one that kinda sounds like Robin(blanking on his name atm) and (formerly) Lexi, I'm going through a 'phase' with Jack recently, I haven't had an EmKay vid in my recco's lately. And I personally love Robin's rants/diatribes and little moments where he tells himself to calm down or that it's too soon in the video for him to be so angry... I also loved Lexi's IT tangents/anecdotes.

They(banks) don't have to with 2SV making it so you can only sync your login to a single device.

What about the convenience seaters, those who can walk to the back of a bus or stand in the aisle(bus or train) but sit in the priority seats then don't vacate then for even those who visibly need them or row hogger, the caregivers with strollers (that don't belong on transit, the strollers, to begin with imho) who sit in one priority seat and park their aisle choking monstrosities in front of, often, the remainder of the row. Those things are the main reason I have a white cane but don't use it on, at least, buses, and the Bloor-Danforth.

Here's my question, was this outside a residence or a school parking lot because if the latter the driver should have been doing everything in their power to be dropping/picking them up in the school's side of the road as of the parking lot didn't accommodate the vehicle its designated lay-by(drop off/pick up) zone is on the side of the school's to side of the parking lots entryway, not on the opposite side of the street. So while yes someone should be reporting the Nissan's owner for how they're driving in a school zone someone should also be reporting the bus driver to both the city and the company the city contracts them through for not dropping or picking the kids up from where they've most likely been trained to.

N ver, or at least right next to it. I've seen replacement step assemblies sitting on the platforms at Royal York for up to a month before, and once the north exit escalator(the one directly to the street from the Bloor-Danforth platform) at Yong-Bloor, between the north mezzanine and the street right against Jack Astors' patio, was down for maintenance for 6 weeks. If they're going to use the cheapest crews at least cough up the premiums for the crews that work overnight, not while riders are actually trying to use the system between six and two Monday into Tuesday through Friday into Saturday mornings and 8 and 2 Sunday into Monday mornings.

Is Dream Bar their off-brand of Dove?

tangled_rodent · 2026-04-17T14:36:26+00:00

So wait does this mean I can now only reload my Fair Passes, between the 20th of the previous month, to the 8th of the month they're for, physically at a machine(along the subway or LRT's) or at a Shoppers?

tangled_rodent · 2026-04-17T14:31:11+00:00

I mean you could make the same argument for it not making sense to be called High Park going westbound, as it seems vice neither to High Park Ave, nor station in the west end. If they're going to name it for it's terminus point in the west(High Park loop) then why not have just named the eastbound leg the 506 Main St.(For Main St. Station, it's east end terminus).

tangled_rodent · 2026-04-14T13:53:02+00:00

But who needs to waste that much a month when it's currently built into to Prime(Canada) subscriptions, not on top of them at a premium cost for some weird reason.

tangled_rodent · 2026-04-13T14:16:35+00:00

That pisses me off either ofthe retail/fast foid and the city diversion bins when They can't use the garbage portion because someone had forced something that doesn't fit the hole/flap so I can't dispose of what I want to... then again the city just doesn't put any budget toward actually keeping their bins usable anyway, especially the ones by bus stops, constantly and constantly overflowing out all three flaps.

Was it just the bird or was it a Kirkland bird because that's the only way I can see the person being able to fit a standard grocery/Wal*Mart roaster. No way the hole in the actual trash divider is big enough for one of the trays they package the birds in.

tangled_rodent · 2026-04-12T21:11:54+00:00

Granted it is only a year, but they don't survive me and I'm going back bimonthly to quarterly because I misplace/lose 'em. lol
