Suppose you finally get people on the bus or the train. What kind of experience is OCTranspo offering its riders?
I remember the 95...somedays it was hell. On one ocassion I saw an eldery male pedestrian get hit and killed by a bus at Hurdman.
I used my own coat and hat to cover him.
In the past, one OCTranspo employee was so mistreated he went on a shooting rampage.
Its not all about ridership.
I wrote about it. And sang about it
The numbers
ReplyDeleteThe city projected 65,000 extra weekly downtown trips from the RTO surge.
Council approved a $29-million, 48-point transit plan. Buried in the communications piece: targeted ads ($50k for federal workers + $110k promotion) to encourage “extending time in the area” and delay egress.
It feels insulting
0They forced the office return, created the traffic spike, then responded with a nudge to “just stay longer and enjoy the city.” Got kids? Long commute? Actual life? Too bad — the system needs you to adjust.Councillor Rawlson King voted for the whole plan. So did the rest of council.This is classic top-down failure: create demand through poor policy, then lecture people on behaviour instead of fixing capacity or reliability.
In the Zone
ReplyDeleteMy head is numb and I cannot think
there's numbers racing round my eyes like rings
Bunch of people looking down on me
I'm too busy playing with my fucking strings
Time is flying by and days go too
Such a waste when I'm here with you
In the zone where nothings clear I can't see, but I can feel you breathe
Smell your scent, feel your heat I won't look at you - but I see your knees
In the zone, in deep freeze
Close enough to touch you and hear your heartbeat
Where are you, where are we?
We used to be people now we're history
My eyes are gone my face is white
Everything around me's such a fucking fright
Too many people, did we go to far?
Got on the bus and should have used my car
Swinging tubes gonna hurt my brain
Just a minute after I've gone insane
In the zone, I'm not free
Smell your body, feel your heat
Touch my skin, hear me breathe
Where are you, where are we?
