@waynecheung29 If a vehicle is full what is the point in making it wait just to even out headways if nobody will be able to board

Lol, you think bunching only occurs when you're going to work or home.
At 12:15pm, 4 x 509 Harbourfront streetcars are running back to back to back to back EB from temporary Fleet Hub at Fort York Blvd. 🙄

The people yearn for pedestrianized streets

Toronto summer doesn’t officially start until you get crushed at Do West Fest (aka Douche West Fest) and end up on a King West patio.

@ryanphanna I lived in Chicago. Their response times are amazing. How’s it going in the ivory tower of bs?
English
The ambulance is visibly blocked here because there’s single-occupancy and parked cars blocking it.
Hope this helps!

Serious question: What happens when an ambulance or fire truck can’t get through because the street has been narrowed down to a single lane for bike infrastructure? Look at this mess. Who thought this was a good idea?

@cam37604403 It runs the entire weekend
Why do people *pack* into Kensington, Market St, etc then when we close them off to cars
English
@dsherwoodb By each door on buses and streetcars around/beside the PRESTO reader there is a sign stating you are required to tap.
Not tapping as per the signs would violate s. 3.13(a).
English
@ryanphanna That’s what I eventually got to once the TTC helps account posted the link… but in the conditions of use laid out in the bylaw they don’t say anything about tapping — just surrendering your fare media for inspection and having proof of payment. Unless I missed it?

@TheArcticDev @dsherwoodb The biggest reason is being able to analyze ridership patterns across large groups of people
English
@dsherwoodb Yes, they are data harvesting for a lot of reasons and I’m sure internally there is some nuance to less than public reasons but the big one is identification in an emergency. If they know 20 people are on a vehicle (subway, bus, etc) and it gets trapped or damaged they know you

@DudleyWolfeK2 Interesting you felt the need to delete your tweet acknowledging there is no actual factual proof of your claim
English
@DudleyWolfeK2 “People like you don’t listen to reason”
me: is being extremely reasonable
you: is throwing a tantrum on the internet, not able to provide any actual concrete evidence, and frankly I’m embarrassed for you
English
If I created a Venn diagram for
‘people claiming bike lanes cause congestion’
and
‘people unable to provide a single piece of proof that bike lanes cause congestion’
It’d be a circle
Skyiscrying@Skyiscrying2
False, your proposal is stupid!!!
English
@ryanphanna Bike lanes half the troughput of a road.
Doesn’t take a genius to extrapolate that into a congestion factor.
English
@DudleyWolfeK2 Looking at your tweet replies it seems they all contain insults
It’s intriguing how people who have not even a basic rebuttal rooted in reality need to resort to insulting people and having a tantrum
English
@DudleyWolfeK2 If I made a diagram of people who can’t even formulate a basic factual opinion and need to resort to insults like a kindergartener it’d be an arrow pointed at you
Feel free to grow up!
English
@ryanphanna Parked cars aren't blocking anything. Occupied vehicles are blocking the intersection as they're making a turn.
English
@JohnDeanToran Your individual experience is representative of that—it’s not representative as a whole
You’re not engaging in good faith and are simply making things up that are not true or reflective of reality
Good luck!
English
@ryanphanna You can cite all these bike biased surveys. I see it with my own lines. Removing two lanes of traffic has increased congestion. Bike riders hardly use the lane and when they do it creates dangerous conditions for less and riders. Huge waste of money.
English
@JohnDeanToran From 2022 to 2025 cyclist ridership in Portland is up 6%
English
@ryanphanna It was a millennial fad like IPAs. Look at Portlands ridership numbers and correlate that to bike lane miles. Ridership has steadily gone down.
