@jvschrag Everything is connected. All is consequence.What's interesting is why government economic models won't recognize this Lowering rents doesn't lower landlord operating costs, and lowering house value doesn't reduce active mortgage payments, but we also know lowering costs has never led to cheaper consumer prices, just higher stockholder dividends.

Trucking companies don't own the highways.Airlines don't own the air corridors.These are owned, regulated and managed by the Public.The main-line railroads must also be part of the Public infrastructure. Then the traffic would be managed and regulated in the *Public* interest, as opposed to the commercial interests of private corporations.The abuses of the UPs and Nofu¢k Southerns of the world convince me that #railroads must be #nationalized.@AccordionBruce @straphanger

- Instead of platform screen doors, there are motions sensors that sound a chiding 'stay back from the edge announcement'. - The motions sensors will trigger on people walking along the tactile pavers, which are supposed to guide low vision cane using riders. - They triggered frequently with normal circulation along the platform. - They would overlap with train arrival announcements, making both unintelligible. - For some reason, the end of the French announcement would repeat 4-6x times - The Flexity cars are loud and not that smooth in the tunnels at ~60 km/h. - Reminds me a lot of the ICTS cars on Line 3 (RIP) - Compared to the Rocket or T1 trains, it is louder and more 'jossly' Maybe because the bogies are closers to the passengers. - Will probably get louder when the trains run at 80km/h - The stations have inconsistent lighting levels, with some stations being much dimmer than others. - A light meter and a someone on the dimmer switch would address that.
