[edit]

I get takeout all the time by bike. Hell, if Uber Eats and Skip The Dishes can all deliver by bike I don't see why I can't pick it up that same way.

I think it is the last mile transportation options that keep people from work commuting using public transit the most. I bike to work. On miserable days I would like to be able to ride to my nearest skytrain (above ground metro) and be able to safely park my bike. They offer about 8 bike parking spaces and nothing even sheltered from the elements. Every time I see this I basically understand that the people in planning are complete fucktards.

Vancouver continually cheaps out on their infrastructure that just makes it a poor option. When building a second line Skytrain line, to save money the had an east west line not continue to downtown but instead intersect with the existing north south line and have you transfer. That transfer alone easily adds 15 minutes to the commute, as the north south line was already at near capacity so it can take three to four cars to get on and then you are squeezed on Tokyo transit style. It is miserable.

When the east west line went in, the transit company trumpeted the great new service. I live about two miles from the nearest stop. The feeder bus ran every twenty minutes during rush hour and thirty minutes other times. Getting downtown requires two transfers. Down from every 15 minute bus service to downtown during rush hour with no transfers. They tried to tell me that the skytrain service running every 4 minutes made my commute faster. See above comment about them being fucktards.

I don't know a single person with kid(s) in daycare that don't drive to work. Even the ones with daycare in their office building. They drive due to how crowded our rush hour public transportation routes are.

Guys, seriously, whoever changed the title of this thread from the broad topic of "Local Politics" to stupid fucking "transportation" deserves a whupping

It still exists, but yeah, your shit got modded. Hard.

IDK who did it, but it looks like they just separated the transportation discussion.

Guys...

As long as we still have a place to discuss local politics, I'm happy.

But now which thread should Bammer use for his campaign transportation platform?

yeah trag, calm down

At what point does transportation that occurs within a local jurisdiction affect interstate transportation enough to be consumed by the power of the Transportation thread, granted of course by Article 1, Section 8 of the RM Constitution? Will we just always bow to the whim and caprice of the ominiscient message board Administrator?

Is that what the mythical magical negro looks like in the wild?

This election cycle a giant bond to expand rapid bus and rail passed by a landslide. I'm pretty happy with this.

Granted, on an off-cycle election, the voter turnout was pretty damn low, but still. Makes me excited to think about how handily this passed.
