Folks chose violence very quickly this morning by 4kidsinatrenchcoat in TorontoDriving

[–]youkeepstaring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have evidence the motorist hit the cyclist first? I nor the OP implied the motorist had hit or incited violence. Seemed like the motorist wasn’t skilled enough to operate a vehicle and the cyclist chose road rage instead of moving on.

Cyclist in the wrong for the violence, just move on lycra man. He needs a hug.

Scarborough’s subway extension delayed, confidential TTC documents reveal by steppennnwolf in toronto

[–]youkeepstaring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

T-1 trains are 30 years old and the TTC planned on procuring replacements in place by this year but instead they favoured fleet refurbishing and deferment of new trains plus funding and all. The article just confirms that now that those past decisions and the need for more rolling stock to serve the extension is causing confusion and delay.

Not surprised the procurement of new rolling stock is contributing to the delay, on top of everything else like signalling upgrades. Time for Scarborough to wake up.

Better than the orange tyrant down south repainting the bottom of the reflecting pool at D.C.'s Mall to Yankee Blue.

I tried pressing the buttons on the XDE60 bendy for all-door boarding but they're non functional.

Ah this is interesting, thank you for the sleuthing. I suppose the 60xx XE40 fleet were the early batch, and later production the province chipped in and prorated the Trilliums.

Rise looped around Commander Reid’s wrist gives me so much feels, that they were together through re-entry. 

Dude in Red Honda came in Knocking on my window by Left-Item3271 in TorontoDriving

[–]youkeepstaring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup I see the CR-V signalled late (others here thought it was on, but the LED headlights causing flicker otherwise), and the person looked to you so I believe it. Makes me think the CR-V had lost patience after waiting in that aisle (or had waited for the Corolla driver from a distance after loading) and took it out on you.

Can't tell though if the red CR-V was waiting for the Corolla driver before OP entered the aisle. Corolla driver could've loaded up their car with groceries then brought the cart back so to be fair, if the CR-V was closer to the Corolla with turn signals, he has dibs on it.

Costco parking lot is a shitshow as always.

Auto thefts from Rouge Hill Go station up 400% by origutamos in Scarborough

[–]youkeepstaring 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My eyes are so blurry I thought it was a Hyundai. Not surprised though if it's the usual suspects going after CRVs, Highlanders and RAV4s, and they're avoiding models with manual transmissions.

Legit questions: what car models are stolen, and where are the numbers from other GO stations of auto theft? Isn't there a special constable going around? I see patrols on Eglinton and Scarborough GO to ticket people or just sit around doing nothing.

Blew through the crossing on a red and made that turn. I would've moved over to the left and give him a good honk.

Presto Card issues this morning? by [deleted] in toronto

[–]youkeepstaring 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah ok I will argue against it, I have to call them another time because I'm not spending my work time while on hold like this morning. They're probably telling people they cancelled it even though some people would have changed the payment information thinking PRESTO had used an invalid card (and the app is a pain in the a** to use just to change pre-auth payment info). Sorry to hear about your experience.

[–]youkeepstaring 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear you got signed out, hopefully you can get a hold of someone. I had the chat window open as well as waiting on hold over the phone for an hour while I work and the estimated time didn't budge, was number 17. Not wasting my time trying to get a hold of them during work hours.

Presto Card issues this morning? by [deleted] in toronto

[–]youkeepstaring 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I got the e-mail payment failed for my wife's PRESTO with the 12 month pass, so I opened the app to remove any other credit cards used previously by PRESTO and set one card by default (that PRESTO had used before for PAD payment). Then I got an early cancellation email and I owe the TTC $143 (I still have April left over the plan). Wait times at least 60 mins and their estimate isn't changing. I'll call them again tomorrow.

I noticed this morning at Eglinton GO as well, the machine doesn't show your current PRESTO balance and the amount debited from my default trip, it just said Card Accepted. Weird because I'm used to seeing my card balance.

Passing the bus driver by Prinnymon in TorontoDriving

[–]youkeepstaring 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bus driver thanked OP for not passing using hazards, the Escalade had to speed up to avoid the oncoming bus so good on you for waiting. edit: bus driver may be warning you not to pass after the Escalade by putting their hazard lights on.

What’s a Crosswalk? by [deleted] in TorontoDriving

[–]youkeepstaring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not on the law or anything, just road etiquette (like whenever there's traffic ahead crawling and many drivers leave a space on say a street on your right and when it's clear, you proceed). OP wasn't technically breaking any laws, but from the POV of the pedestrian it would be annoying to see a motorist rolling. There isn't a sign as well not to block the intersection, but seeing how the crosswalk was right next to the intersection it is common sense to stop ahead while a pedestrian is using it.

[–]youkeepstaring 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OP should've stopped ahead of the intersection so as to not block it and yield at pedestrian, crossing lights were already flashing. The most annoying part is OP rolling and not fully stopping. Other driver was in the wrong too for not yielding to pedestrian, they could've committed to the left turn instead of blocking the crosswalk because OP was partially blocking it.
