In Ottawa, the default is single tracking a problem segment, also done in Vancouver. TTC upgraded their system to allow the same, but prefers buses because of segment length.

So the actual experience view is that 5 minutes after a scheduled 15 minute service makes 20 minutes as tolerable as a gap standard. But the city turned it into if a bus itself is 20 minutes late that it's as though the trip isn't delivered.

City's definition of "reliability" now is 99.5% of trips delivered within 20 minutes of scheduled time.

Context, on a forum, a "moderator" tried to start a flame war by troll baiting to see one start, claiming rules on troll baiting despite the moderator being the one initiating to troll bait wanting a flame war on the forum, claiming that you have to engage in a flame war by giving a bad faith

Actually, rather, the intro was because of TSRs on the east alignment. But sure.. change the facts to a belief that isn't true.

You can't automatically increase transit service. Just because of demand... in fact, increased demand wirh fewer resources has meant and means more crowding, still with less service km delivery.

When someone creates discussion by dismissing discussion claiming what is literally discussion isn't discussion just to deny that discussion is discussion... Examination of a subject is discussion. Denial of examinations claiming discussion isn't discussion doesn't make discussion less a discussion

There is an absolute maximum: 30mm. There is a safe maximum. There is a quick accumulation maximum. There is a protection of equipment maximum. These all vary on conditions; argument made here, it forgets that rain also flash freezes, causing already a deteriorating condition ahead of freezing rain.

All these variables decrease the maximum even to just 2-3 mm if actually applying an engineering lens. Yet a household lens, sure, it might be 20 mm for a significant freezing rain event.

Ended up having to make four adjustments for my transit plan after 4pm today... two cancelled 85s, 30 minute service on routes 51/58, a DD on route 88 and a 60 seemingly needing service at Bayshore, 58 after the 2pm trip only going to Bayshore.. ended up taking 81 instead, oth-wise >20 more min wait

Ottawa is not... the network size makes it feel more an issue than it is.

I don't really follow public transit outside Ottawa but if feels like we're pretty exceptional when it comes to breakdowns and issues with our trains. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Defamation hating on something based on a fallacy doesn't fix the actual transit issue that is not enough buses, and not budgeting service for bus frequency and service quality.

On the contrary, the majority people had left the festival grounds by 11pm .. less than two hours after the 9:30pm Canada Day event. 2 hours is the baseline for most people to egress most people from an event with approaching 100,000 people for Canada Day crowds. The evidence contradicts.

OttGuy@gahb13.bsky.social

Pimisi station, right at lebreton flats, gets closed for Canada Day, Bluesfest, etc because it's to small to handle the crowds. They force people to disperse to other transportation methods because the brand new train and station can't handle the known annual events.

No .. when your ideas are only that this "solution" that has already been tried is the only thing you have as a "you can do better" in providing service with a lower budget... no, you really do not understand the issue at hand.

You are up to date.
