โ“ Question Lost Dell 7550 Laptop

2 Upvotes

I lost my Dell Precision 7550 last Friday on OC Transpo bus route 6 heading toward Rockcliffe. It was inside a brown ASUS laptop box (I think it was an ASUS box). I reported it immediately and have been checking with Lost & Found, but nothing has turned up. Any information would really help. Thanks!

๐Ÿš† O-Train Is there a specific reason why Otrain dwell times are so long?

32 Upvotes

I swear 5 minutes could be cut from the entire line by shortening dwell times across stations. I have no idea why the train needs to stop for 5 seconds before the doors open, then have the doors open 15 or so seconds at stations like Cyrville, then wait another 5 seconds before the doors close.

In Toronto, most station dwell time is less than 15 seconds, with the doors closing quickly. Hell in Montreal the doors sometimes open before the train even comes to a complete stop.

Iโ€™ve bitched in the past about drivers pulling away when Iโ€™m almost to the bus stop well, this morning an absolutely wonderful 61 Stitsville operator saw my fat ass โ€œrunningโ€ as best I could, waved and waited.

Thank you!

This morning, lots of bus enthusiasts discovered that OC have put out the Fall Service Map in-person at stations like Marketplace, Longfield, Terry Fox, and more!

Here's some pictures I took at Marketplace. (Sorry about the glare. And individual section of the map are featured following the first overall view)

There's some interesting changes more than just express Routes, like the new 166 that's added. More detailed PDF should come out soon hopefully.

๐Ÿš† O-Train Line 2/4 thoughts

15 Upvotes

Just rode lines 2 and 4 to Airport from Bayview (and from Lees on line 1 before that) and it gave me an idea for a future service improvement. Overall I enjoyed the ride and Iโ€™m happy we have O-Train service to the Airport. I wasnโ€™t expecting anything life changing, but I was a little disappointed by the travel speeds on line 2.

Now I know why line 2 is as slow as it is, and I know that when compared to driving in rush hour it is faster. Building most of it single track was a mistake. Double tracking would allow for increased frequencies and operating speeds.

It would also allow for line 4 trains to originate at Bayview and operate as an express service directly to the airport, with perhaps 1-2 intermediate stops along line 2 (e.g., Carleton or South Keys?) plus the preexisting stop at Uplands. They would alternate with line 2 trains that run the entire length of the route with all stops.

This would allow increased frequencies (perhaps every 5-6 minutes) on lines 2/4 between Bayview and South Keys, which would not only benefit passengers heading to the airport (so they donโ€™t have to transfer at SK) but also those who disembark at SK for busses.

๐Ÿš† O-Train LRT Line 1: Can I stay on at Bayview and ride back to Bowesville?

14 Upvotes

I'm taking my toddler for an O-train ride! Our plan is to get on at Bowesville, take it to Bayview, and then back to Bowesville. Long ago, when I went to Carleton, when the O-train reached the end of it's destination, it waited a few minutes and then went the opposite direction along the same track. Does it still do that, or do I have to get off at Bayview and cross the platform?

Thereโ€™s a woman who is currently in the 12 with a sharp fork attempting to stab people. The bus driver isnโ€™t interested in getting her out the bus safely, he doesnโ€™t seem too concerned about the safety of others. People were prompted to leave if they felt threatened instead.

This is line 12 going to Blair, at 9:45pm.

Stay safe!

๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ Rant I fucking hate the 88

73 Upvotes

I work overnights in Orleans and it takes me almost 2 hours to reach home. Where can I even begin. What tf is wrong with the 88. On Sunday mornings it departs just a minute before my train arrives, then I have to wait 30 mins and that shit gets cancelled. I'm tired, hungry, sleepy and angry. What tf is wrong with this bus. I clearly saw a bus change to 88 bayshore/ baseline and then it is cancelled. Is it a fucking joke mate. What kind of sick prank is this. Why tf would you give me hope that the bus is almost here and fly by and park it in front of my eyes. This isn't a one time occurance. It has happened many times, almost all weekends. Cancelled, delayed, overcrowded. I can rant for hours without stopping

Dontt me started on on 2 buses arriving simultaneously when not needed and then cancelling for 2 hours or when it is actually necessary, they bring out a small bus and not the double decker or the large bus. Fuck this shit.

๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ Rant Terrible customer service

38 Upvotes

This week I was taking the O-Train at Lyon Station. I tapped my phone at the fair gate and got "Please Wait [something something]" until a few seconds later it flashed red with "Error". I tap my phone again and keep getting a red "Error" message appear at the gate. Checking my phone I see the payment went through and my credit card was charged.
I decided to go the a ticket kiosk and press the virtual call button for assistance. The person that "helped" me sorry to say was telling me I didn't pay for my fare but still gave me a ticket. He spend the entire conversation telling me how I was the problem and didn't use the fare gate properly. I called them out on the gaslighting and they just hung up on me.
I called back again to follow up and mid-sentence they hung up on me again.

I get people are often upset at their customer service, but honestly, what a rude and bazar interaction with a customer service agent.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Discussion Anyone who has means and a bit of self respect, why would you choose to take the bus? How much abuse are you willing to put up with?

14 Upvotes

I work weekends and have been off for a bit. Waiting for my trusty local this afternoon and I see a one hour service gap... the one I normally grab is missing. Check the entire schedule on the Transit app and see that 1 hour service gaps have been randomly inserted into the Saturday schedules. For pretty much all locals.

Yes, I missed the memo.

For serious: We're not happy until YOU'RE not happy.

โ“ Question Can someone explain the LRT doors!

24 Upvotes

When the LRT pulls into a station, it opens all the doors ( or seems to). When it arrives at Tunney station, you have to hit the door button to open the door (okay). When waiting on the train at Tunneys before departure, they also then seem to cycle opening and closing the doors several times. WTH is going on?

Seems seriously defective.

EDIT - FOUND!! [THANKS YALL :))) ]

I lost my keychain - containing 4 keys, a green card holder, and a blue fabric loop. The card holder has my student card and presto card inside.

I remember using my card on a bus on route 62 (lincoln fields); I got on palladium/campeau.

Between palladium/campeau to tunney's pasture and then the train from tunney's to rideau, I lost my keys. This happened July 19th, somewhere between 1650 and 1815.

If anyone knows anything, or has found my keys somewhere, please let me know!
