Transit should be an essential service. Maybe not full capactity, but some kind of reduced capacity is better than nothing.
If people like care aids, nurses, doctors, emergency dispatchers, etc are essential services, then the system that gets them to and from work should be essential too.
I feel bad for people who are stuck right now.

Japan does it right - when bus drivers strike they refuse to collect fares. System is 'undisturbed', employer suffers financially.

So let's say that we take the bus out to operate, if we have any issues, they're the ones that are supposed to help us out but they're not available. Knowing this, would you still want me to go to on the road and operate the bus?

No joke the route I take I see like 10-15% of people push through the handicapped gates at skytrain or just walk on the bus and not tap their cards. I don’t fault the bus driver in not trying to collect because who wants to deal with some skid over $2.75

This happens in Toronto a lot. Even when there was no strike, when I swiped my Presto card at the bus after a transfer from the subway, the bus driver gave me shit and told me not to swipe my card in the future lol

If you can get one of those 12 person vans you already know a good route that has people in need of a ride along it.

So I was pleasantly surprised to learned that the truck came by and emptied my green bin. The two sad takeaways from this.
1. I'm so old that I'm happy some one took my garbage
2. CoV services are in such a poor state that I am surprised at things getting done.

You know how you see a Dealer Number on a used car posting, I just found this website VSA where you can search for used care dealers based on that number. And it gives you all the salespeople that are licensed and works at that dealer as well. Eg. 5102, I found out was Pattison Lease. https://www.mvsabc.com/vsa-search/ | |

Hopefully the one you buy has a better search menu than mine did

Those can be fun when you have friends around playing old brawlers and fighters. As a solo experience I imagine it gets very old very fast

I had an Arcade1Up, and yeah, the nostalgia runs out fast. Was nice for the first couple of months playing a bunch of NHL Open Ice and KOF, but then it just sat there as a display piece until I sold it.
I'll probably buy one again when I have more space tho, lol.

I feel the same about my NES and SNES re-release consoles. They are great when you have company over but the nostalgia wears off fast.
