What are 5 ways that can be done by the community to improve the public transport system?

Resist balkanization

This is Guildwood GO Station in Scarborough. That road at the bottom is Kingston Road, a busy TTC bus corridor with bus lanes and express routes. The parking lot has been expanded twice, although they are talking about putting housing on that old auto dealership (red borders). VIA intercity trains also stop here on their way to Montreal.

So don’t hesitate. Like I said, a few weeks ago I went to Dixie Value Mall. I’ve been there before, and usually I use car share, but my other experience with transit recently (my sister moved out of town and I use the GO train every month to get there) made me decide to try to get to it by transit. It required three vehicles, and took about 1 hour 15 minutes each way (and I missed a bus in each direction - literally watching it drive away as I approached the stop) but the whole trip was $10 (versus $90 for a car), I didn’t have to drive in Toronto’s horrendous traffic (I scrolled the news on my phone) and I didn’t have to look for a place to park.

Don’t complain about bus lanes

You would not believe how many communities allow private property owners to exclude buses from their property. This is even a problem here in Toronto, where often the bus will drop you off a hundred meters from a shopping mall.

Also, until recently, all the transit systems in the Greater Toronto Area all charged separate fares. As such, if I took a TTC train to Union Station, then the GO train to Guildwood, then a TTC bus from Guildwood to my mom’s, that would have been three fares. Luckily, that’s changed - if you ride the GO train your trips on local transit are effectively free. Trips across transit borders are now much cheaper (short ones use to be a double fare, but now it’s just one fare).

Is BPD real or just an excuse?

So, she dropped me and mom off while she went to park the car. There is a massive lot around a block away. However, by the time she parked, it took her 20 minutes to get back (she almost missed the part where they explain the plot of the opera). After the opera, we all went to get the car, but between walking to the lot, going down the stairs to the parking level, and paying the charge (by coincidence, $12.00) it took us half an hour to get me back home; I could have walked home in the same time, and transit was much faster (like I said, subway station right next to the opera house).

About 15 years ago, my sister wanted to go to the opera for her birthday. However, she insisted on driving because the fare for her and my mom would be $12.00. Now, I can walk, to the opera house from where I live, and it’s a short transit ride, and I had a monthly pass (so, effectively, free) and the subway stop is literally connected to the Opera House. However, she insisted on picking me up.

This is New York City’s 14th street busway in Manhattan. It’s only open to buses, taxis and trucks. It didn’t affect car traffic, which was easily able to move to 12th, 13th, 15th and 16th streets. However, local business owners sued to stop it even though most of their customers come on foot and there isn’t enough parking for more than one customer out front. More frequent and reliable bus service reduces people using cars.

Hello,hope y'all doin good, i came to Quora to share my strange story , a very weird one , a story when luck smiled at me ,maybe u will enjoy it , let's begin,have fun... A year ago ,I was a real porn addicted(btw I was 18) ,but never had sex before, I don't have a gf I didn't try to find one even ,always thinking to go to find a sex worker but then I just don't , everyday watching different bodies getting fucked and everyday enjoying. One day, I was watching porn, a big ass lady with big boobs ,just after seeing her the image of my female cousin poped in my mind, (let's introduce her : she's 35 years old , very big ass , nice boobs ,not very big but nice,always wearing tight clothes , she's divorced ) and I thought of me fucking her ,I never had sexual desires for her but now I do days went by and when I met her I was so horny ,I couldn't stay with the family cz my penis was clearly erected , I realized this is my first time I get horny for one of my family ,it not illegal in my country.well to make a long story short( if u want details just text me I will tell u 😊),I decided to give her signs that I want to fuck her,finally I decided to have sex and with my cousin , I thought it is the best beggining for me, i started touching her when I came across her in a narrow place , make her feel my hard cock when we hug , I thought it will hard and I will be ashamed but no , I felt nothing and she said nothing , probably she thought it was by mistake,anyways, I decided then to talk with her about sex, waited for her to be alone in a room and talk with her, I confessed everything about me watching porn and addicted..etc,she said it's normal and u are growing up and u must have sex,well at that time I was like whaaat????? Well I didn't control myself and asked her for sex ( horny like I Ve never been before) she said that she will think Abt it ,2 weeka went by then she called me ,telling that she reserved a room in a hotel and we meet tonight ,we met,and bruuhh, sex is great , I mean, I had to find a pirstitue ,what I was waiting for to have such a feeling ????, I will never forget that night, I started kissing her she was kissing hard ,she misses sex so bad , she sucked my dick and swallowed my semen ,I felt I'm in a dream , then when fucked ,her ass was very big and the anus was open ,didn't struggle to get my hard cock inside it , she was obviously missing sex , she was shouting ,fuck me yh fuck me , I go fast after every word until I cum , we did that 3 times , then we went to her pussy , using condoms I fucked her so hard the moans were higher , everything was perfect ,in the end I asked her to lick her body , licked pussy ,ass, boobs,then she sucked my cock until we sleeped ,all I know that she was dirty ,well before even having sex with her I knew she is an open minded woman , and a woman that looks that she donesnt know anything , but she knows everything, but never expected having sex with her ,well she was horny and that helped...but no one of us regretted that sex ever.. We still have sex from time to time ,and I started having sex with sex workers , joining threesomes..etc If u want pics of her text me.

But this is Pickering Go Station (top, you can see the train), which first opened about 50 years ago and now has service every 15–30 minutes. It’s the home of Ontario’s largest parking lot. There’s a large shopping mall off to the down left ,but that’s not why the world’s longest pedestrian bridge over the world’s widest freeway (the 401). That bridge is there to join the parking lot at the top with another parking lot for overflow. Also, the buses stop at the downward end on the other side of the train station. As such, most people using the train come by car. That’s a terrible use of space. Lots of transit stations in Toronto are now being redeveloped to take out parking and put in housing.

So if you want to go from bus to train, or vice versa (all the express buses stop here), its a 200m walk from the train station entrance to the bus stop. Uncovered of course. And the road is six lanes wide. Other stops like this are Danforth (a good 300m from the subway line, and often requires crossing a road bridge over the busy rail line) and Bloor GO (although a tunnel to nearby Dundas West station is under construction.

This is Yonge & Sheppard in Toronto, where two subway lines meet. I’ve worked up there for 20 years now and low density development in the area is slowly being replaced by high density development.

Why is Donald Trump criticized by so many people?

Over in Mississauga next door, it’s not a problem. Buses regularly stop at shopping malls. A couple of weeks ago, I was at the Dixie Value Mall, which is surrounded on two sides by busy roads - not a pleasant place to cross a road to a bus stop. However, in the parking lot, there’s a small bus platform where you can be dropped off about 50m from the mall entrance.

Paris Erupts in Celebrations, Riots After PSG Wins Champions League - WSJ

About 20 years ago, the Galleria Mall, just outside the Buffalo city limits, banned buses from entering its property, requiring bus passengers to cross a busy six lane road to get from the bus stop to the mall. One day, one of the workers on her way to the mall (the mall caters to suburban dwellers, but most of its workers are from the city and can’t afford a car) was hit by a vehicle and killed. The mall started letting the bus stop there the next day.
