Unlike Presto in Google Wallet, I don't know how to say what I want to say without breaking my NDA. This might be a bit glass-half-full, but YRT goes through the same thing whenever they change contracts. Things tend to end up okay eventually... Whatever damage has been done is done. What's...

Let's say you try to stay close to the curb. If you get sideswiped because someone is trying to squeeze past and misjudge the clearance between their car and your bike, you lose balance and get run over by another car behind you. You could also be dead! But then it's far less clear-cut about...

Yes, but not all drivers follow the law. I normally ride in the middle of the vehicle lane on roads where there isn't a bike lane or where the bike lane is obstructed. If a driver rear ends you, the physical evidence of you being rear ended would also likely be more decisive than if you were...

In my case it was quite obvious based on the physical evidence what happened. Just call The Biking Lawyer and they'll tell you what to do. I don't think I'm allowed to be too specific about what happened.

That's the default. You can't sue the government unless it avails itself to liability... Nonetheless, you can still sue the driver if you're injured (for now). I got doored twice and got a nice settlement from insurance each time. It's also probably the most effective way of deterring bad...

I would not be surprised if more inspectors increased compliance, but I'm skeptical about increased revenue. Here are some grey areas: Some people take the streetcar to the subway, but don't tap on the streetcar to get a couple of extra minutes out of their 2-hour transfer. I wouldn't be...

You'd get the same problem but in reverse since overground trains share the same platforms at Kendal Green.

Yeah, but this isn't the first time someone from Ajax came into the 6 recently to do degeneracy. https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/police-make-arrest-after-video-shows-road-rage-incident-in-toronto-1.6931493

Maybe... If the Liberals ran someone who actually lived in the riding, I think they'd have a better shot. Carolyn Bennett was a really good MP. She held town halls for her constituents, did a Canada Day BBQ every year (and probably gave out thousands of hot dogs during her time as MP), and was...

If you use this model, and take into account that the person was spitting on (assaulting) other passengers. Then the kicks are a reasonable amount of force for conducting an arrest in this circumstance.

I wonder if part of the low numbers has to do with COVID and students not knowing they can ask for tickets. If students don't ask for them, then the school boards aren't going to go out and buy them. Most of the field trips I did in high school were outside of Toronto where the school rented...

This is from the report: "To establish a baseline of existing rides, staff have used annual PRESTO bulk sales of youth PRESTO tickets to Toronto school boards as an approximation. There are 1.7 million youth PRESTO tickets sold per annum. Of this, approximately 1.5 million youth PRESTO tickets...

The TDSB still uses school buses. Part of the budget comes from the board, additional money can be raised by parent councils. Schools in better off areas are more able to raise money to take more trips via school bus. For high school students, they're mostly used for long distance trips outside...

I don't know, I was just responding directly to Frank_Lee's questions. The displays and cameras are already installed. The displays in the Great Hall in Toronto have already indicated that a train was in the station for at least 8 years already. The screens next to the escalators in the VIA...

On the displays in the great Hall, a star shows up next to the platform number to indicate that the train is in the station

When the TTC last studied doing something similar with the TYSSE, the time saving were less than a year, and the cost was equivalent to building the busway...

This comparison isn't as valid anymore since VIA modified its loyalty program. If you're a premier member, you consider points, and you value each point at $0.20. You're getting at least $0.60 back in points. The upcharge to a plus fare is less than what it was before. If you opt for a plus...

Andy Byford said he wasn't on a contract during his time there. 6:15

They must be part of the pilot, but forgot they were part of the pilot.

Bus-Rail and Rail-Rail transfers are $4.71, Bus-Bus transfers are $4.41. The old fare calculator doesn't exist anymore. But, if you mess with the one that's there now enough, you'll find patterns. I forgot, $4.71 is a legacy from when UP Express fares were integrated with GO since the lowest...
