Not much. They brought back some trips and variations cut. But not wholesale restorations. This was done pre-COVID, but they were hampered by a lack of buses to restore service and out of room at their existing active garages to acquire more buses. Then, they pretty much used every bus they had available during peak periods. Of course since then ridership levels have tanked.

I dubbed it as such in a message to my wife near the end of my working day. Today was possibly the wildest ride weather wise that I can recall in a very long time.

Fun fact: over 75% of pedestrians (Adults, kids, whoever) killed in school bus related accidents over a recent 10 year period were hit by the bus rather than other vehicles.

What would probably help reduce this obviously low hanging fruit while also reducing the liklihood of cars hitting kids as they pass the bus would be to stop the ridiculous practice of the driver holding up traffic to let kids cross against the light. Just drop them off, and pull away, THEN the kids can cross the street when it's their turn. If the kids can't handle that on their own, oh idk, have someone older meet them at the bus stop, like say, one of their parents, or a grandparent.

Ok tough guy

>NIMBY attack?

ELI5 please.

No you wouldn’t.

They do it because its cheaper than putting in forced air heat when the radiators quit :/ especially when the tenant is paying for it

I need to get a lot more involved in public transit activism honestly, it's been something sort of on the brain for a while I just haven't and probably will look into it after the move.

There definitely haven't been fare hikes or anything -- the opposite actually, so we can say that at least. And even the service reductions come after they've been slowly cut over time. I'd be curious to compare to what MTA or New Jersey would be doing as well.

One thing I used to do was get plastic window sealer kits with double sided tape. My partner and I lived in a very old home built in the early 1900s, and every little bit helped.

We also got those things that have 2 round stuffed fabric cylinders with a piece of cloth holding them together to prevent drafts under the doors.

Both of those were pretty cheap and helped save on an already - expensive gas bill.

You can pass a bus if you're on the other side of a road and it has a divided median, like east liberty Blvd, or a wall, like Bigelow Blvd.

Gosh, I'm sorry they hit you with that.

Like no one gets a 30% raise in salary so how do they expect you to afford that.

It's just the most unbelievablely bad way to heat a place and it feels more dangerous. I can't understand for the life of me why anyone would install that.

I don't know about everyone else, but I'm happy to not have had to use my snow shovel yet this winter. Guess I'm getting old.

Our bus drivers lays on that horn when it happens at our stop. So loud but I appreciate her trying to do what she can to tell people it's not ok. Kids are crossing the road in all directions!!

I was on Ohio River Blvd a few years ago near Aurochs Brewing. All four lanes were supposed to stop, but one jagoff decided he was too good to stop. A police cruiser happened to be at the intersection and witnessed it. Pulled the guy over immediately. It was so satisfying to watch.

25% of city households don't have a car.

Except for buying groceries, or anything else heavy. Probably best to use a Zipcar and load up when it's rented by chaining shopping trips together.

because they aren't 16 yet.

I just got a renewal offer today that told me my rent increased by 30% Immediately submitted my move out date after that bs lol.

The owners were just announced today as semi finalists for Best Chef by the James Beard foundation

Threadbare usually has fun heart-shaped pizzas

Look at when they close garages. When PAT closed the Harmar garage, a whole swath of routes where gone and never coming back.

So you're just an asshole. Buzz off.

We finally put those 100% blackout curtains up in all of our rooms and it's made a huge difference for us. It was pretty costly tho. Our house was built in the 20s so no actual insulation. We also got those draft stoppers for under doors. It helped stop some of those old house drafts as well.
