Weather update: Heat warning and risk of thunderstorm around 5pm

@occtranspo.bsky.social when your bus is so late it arrives with the next bus, it's equivalent to a canceled bus. Also, why does the elevator at Billings Bridge smell like Hot Pickles? Like, every day. It feels like a choice at this point.

Buckle up for global warming

New Report Submitted: Down for Service

Build something, then never maintain it because that would involve higher taxes and the suburbs simply won’t be on board with that is not a winning strategy. “According to engineering reports, some of those joints had not been replaced in nearly four decades” www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I’m not at all surprised to see what this national study concluded, nor that it identified the intersection of Merivale and Viewmount as the critical spot in Ottawa. I plan on using this to push for safety measures that the city has often resisted. www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/artic...

I read with interest CAA Canada’s study of intersections that pose a danger to pedestrians and cyclists. While not mentioned in the study, media say that Merivale and Meadowlands was one of those studied.

There’s an annual transit challenge in #OttCity; I think there have also been some “ride alongs” with paratranspo. But every candidate for mayor, who says they believe in transit, believes in “balance” should be doing this. @occtranspo.bsky.social @neilsara.bsky.social @otttransitriders.bsky.social

Time for Canada to offer the world's 4th largest economy province status 😁 I wish them luck. Tyranny and fascism must always be crushed.

Pretty bad when you're beating Bangkok, smog-India and Coal fired China.

Reminder

A reminder to everyone who's outside. No amount of smoke is good smoke. Smoke is poisonous and has been linked to cancer and a good chunk of ailments. Check the air quality and mask up.

Air quality is going to plummet soon. firesmoke.ca/forecasts/cu...

Meaning nothing will get built, the city will get more dangerous and expensive.

Exactly. Each year we keep feeding the Beast and racking up more infrastructure debt - and the mayor refuses to properly tax at a rate that would sustain the stupidity. So either fix the dumb or tax properly.

@occtranspo.bsky.social @octranspo.com What is going on with the 48? I've had to Uber my last 3 shifts, and since "New Ways to Bus" it has had an insane amount of cancellations. Lucky for them, they canceled notifications so I can't track cancelations as easily as I could.
