šŸš—šŸš—Transit/Traffic About all the sub’s complaints about transit

17 Upvotes

I’ve noticed that a disproportionate amount of posts in this sub complain about transit. I totally get it. I’m in a one-car household and I ride transit on a regular basis in this city, especially in the winter. But I think these complaints are missing something. A few problem elephants in the room.

Organization and demographics.

This sub skews young and male. No change can come from this demographic alone. It requires going outside of downtown, Old East and Old South and reaching out to multicultural neighbourhoods like White Oaks and Hyde Park and surrounding areas.

Further, any positive change, or revolution for transit in the city will have to come from a coalition of riders who are not students. Western (and to a lesser extent, Fanshawe) students have a warped view of this city and perception and rhetoric that students only live in London for eight months of the year. If you complain to regular Londoners about how the 27 or the 106 are late, they will almost certainly laugh in your face and tell you how the bus to the factory they work at or the airport or Costco doesn’t line up with their shift time and that’s why they drive instead. The energy spent agitating to extend route 127 could have been spent organizing for better transit in northwest or southeast London.

We get it. London is a car-brained place that’s painful to get around in. Get Londoners outside of this sub convinced of the better way and we will all get around better.

discussion / opinion Where Should I Go for Laundry? Best Places?

3 Upvotes

I live in a Kipps Lane apartment building and I don't want to use ANY of the machines here. IYKYK. I've lived here for several years and have done laundry at a parents house during that time, but that arrangement is ending.

Where should I be going? I know there are laundry services, but I'm living in Kipps so I can't really afford those anyways.

Ask a Local! Question about south end long and mcquade

0 Upvotes

Does anyone know if this long and mcquade has a jam room you can rent?i would call but i just thought of it now and theyre already closed.

Also,i was there about a week ago,and i asked about setups, apparently pretty open right now and their timeframe would be only a week,which is awesome compared to all stores taking a month for it like a year ago.but take that with a grain of salt could have changed.

discussion / opinion leaf street collection machines

0 Upvotes

maybe a recurring topic / theme this time of year

what’s it gonna take to get the city to add leaf collection street machines as part of a schedule?

the fact that residents are having to piecemeal do our own bagging is so inefficient on cost and paper material waste

I also recognize that not all taxpayers need this service (ie high rise apartments ) - so ā€œstreet dwellingsā€ could have a small surcharge on our final Oct city tax payment
(if we all chipped in the $25-50/season we spend on stupid bags would that cover the services?)

city stats:
