one of the most idiotic thing about Ottawa’s LRT from a design perspective is that they somehow got too invested into a low floor train before deciding that it would not operate in mixed traffic ever. so now there’s a totally grade separated system, which is good, with all the disadvantages of a low floor streetcar style vehicle. and this can literally never be changed because all the stations were designed with a particular platform height to accommodate the vehicle.

Another fun part is how they've designed the stations open air and barely protected from the elements for a city where it's unpleasant to be outside for a majority of the year.

bunnyofdoom posted:No we now have a second train running from Blair to tunneys that cost several billions and only works about 30% of the time now. And has made international headlines..... it literally doesn't work in wet weather The wheels aren't round because the contractor faked tests of the alloys. The contractor happens to be SNC Lavalin, so nothing will happen, making it even funnier.

Fight me. these assholes don't want to do anything, even if it involves unclogging the transit in the city where all the real estate bubble speculation is financed

Cops sure do hate 'the gays', 'the poors', 'the invalids', and people who generally are against fascists. I want to say something to the effect that there is a considerable portion of the constables responsible for policying the streets are also part of groups which espouse white supremacy. I'm not sure if there's a link, I don't mean to alarm anyone with this really off my rocker idea.

I saw Colin Quinn do standup last week and he had a line, "the problem with cops is that to be one you have to be crazy enough to fight everyday at your nine to five job but obedient enough to do the paperwork after." I've been thinking about it a lot. e: Quinn was funny and good, only like 5% boomer bullshit
