The title and article don’t seem to have anything to do with each other. I’d assume this means they’re putting doors on the left side of all the buses exclusively for drivers, but the article sounds more like they’re putting doors on a warehouse to drive buses through.
This is such a weird riding. You can’t get from the Western Communities/CRD side to the South Cowichan/CVRD side without passing through a different riding. The new boundaries across the Island are all kinda weird. Another good example is Ladysmith Oceanside, another one you can’t get from one end to the other without passing through 2 different ridings.
I’m not sure which riding makes less sense, this one, or Ladysmith Oceanside.
I think they’ll have a hard time with her new riding as well as the new candidate for her old riding. I think a not insignificant portion of Green voters in Cowichan voted for her personally, because of how she fought for the Valley as Shawnigan’s director, and not for the party.
It’s absolutely insane that market value of a studio is over $600,000.
Yeah, I imagine if you’re in a city it’s a different story. TransLink has been great every time I’ve used it in Vancouver. Greater Victoria seems to be pretty decent if you’re in the core or you’re near one of the commuter corridors, Nanaimo seems ok but I haven’t used it myself.
I’m in the Cowichan Valley, and like I said all our routes seem to be big loops that go out to all the smaller communities and back to Duncan. The only way I see it being more effective with a similar amount of buses is if there was more of a direct highway route and/or a hub and spoke model. You could then put a local route in each community/ group of communities or even an on demand system if it’s more rural. Obviously that’s based on my area, but I can’t imagine it’s much different in many other small towns and spread out communities.
Honestly I wouldn’t start to use the current transit in my area if it was free. The issue isn’t cost, it’s that the service is stretched so thin it’s only usable as a last resort and your day has to be planned around the schedule. On the rare occasion I can’t use my car I have ended up walking for an hour and a half because it’s more convenient than the bus. I’m just glad I’m not disabled or I’d have to turn some of my outings into overnighters.
I’d rather live in a modern house I could afford to own that happens to look kinda boring than the poorly converted basement of someone else’s boring old house that also looks like every other house on the street.
We have our own carbon tax in BC, it has nothing to do with the federal government.
The rest of us really dodged a bullet, look how they treat their own people…
I’ve never seen ads inserted into an infographic before.
Is 22 years like a “baker’s decade” or something?
I’m in a small town and transit currently sucks, with all the planning and extra hours it would take to get anywhere, it’s not worth it. If it was free, I’d definitely take it more often and spontaneously. Back when it was free in 2020 I hopped on a few times when I didn’t feel like walking home.
I think 20% of every sailing is reserved for drive on customers?
It’s closer to 75-90% (depending on various factors).
And I think you’re significantly underestimating how many BC residents take the ferry. Next time you’re on there walk around and look at plates. I’d be very surprised if you get anywhere close to 50% of personal vehicles with out of province plates.
This is awesome, II was probably my most played game of that generation. It’s too bad they didn’t add 4 player splitscreen from the Xbox version as that’s how I spent most of my time with this, but I’m not going to complain about a good thing and it’s great they didn’t remove splitscreen entirely like way too many new or remastered games.
Realistically though I can’t see many situations I’d be able to get 3 other friends in the same room to play splitscreen and on the off chance I do I still have my original Xbox and disc with 4 working controllers.
For what it’s worth, the link appears correct. The title matches what you posted, just not the content.
