Getting around / Going nowhere / WTF Macdonald Bridge "pond"
Posted By Team Coast on Sun, Mar 8, 2020 at 9:47 AM
Yeah, the pond that forms on the Dartmouth side of the bridge every time it rains, really needs to be filled in. The pound can get about 10 feet wide and at least four inches deep because the water seems to need to travel uphill to reach the drain. Anyone trying to use the crosswalk in this area needs to walk into traffic to avoid the current. Then risks getting splashed by one of the cars that sadly had to wait for us to get around this pond. — Pissed-off Soaked Pedestrian

Another bus bitch / Customer service / Going nowhere What's a bus schedule
Posted By Team Coast on Sat, Mar 7, 2020 at 9:46 AM
I don’t know if I missed the memo, but at the bus terminal, the departure times now seem to mean “bus driver is going to wander off and then saunter back eventually, we might leave in 10 minutes, depends if I see my friend.” I understand that things may come up, but this has been a daily occurrence for weeks. — Hey I Have Places To Be, Thanks

Going nowhere / Winter Parking Revolt / WTF Winter parking bullshit
Posted By Team Coast on Fri, Mar 6, 2020 at 12:29 PM
Thank you to the city for issuing a winter parking ban for last night when it was ONLY RAINING. And thank you for giving me one of those $50 tickets for breakfast. What will you do with all the money you are collecting? Oh wait, I know: you'll do what you do best and WASTE IT. — Frig Off

Another bus bitch / Going nowhere / Mad as Hell Halifax Transit

Why do you even have a schedule? It would be more accurate to just tell your customers, “Show up at the bus stop two hours before you need to be somewhere and we guarantee a 50 percent chance you'll be on time. May the bus gods smile upon you.” — Cold

Another bus bitch / Customer service / Genius at work / Going nowhere Human rights violation on Halifax Transit
Posted By Team Coast on Thu, Nov 14, 2019 at 2:33 PM
When I've told drivers that the stop request wasn't working, they would laugh at me and tell me their display let them know to stop, so basically fuck off. Like they don't care about customer satisfaction. Since it's happened repeatedly, the drivers haven't reported a problem with the bus, so the drivers must have shut off the display.
I don't think that it's a matter of driver's IQ. Except that these displays were installed for the hearing impaired. If someone is deaf, they won't hear the bell and have no way of knowing if the driver was going to stop for them. That is clearly a human rights violation, as Halifax Transit boasted that all buses are now accessible. It appears that Halifax Transit and the drivers are lying to us.

Going nowhere Motorcycle mansplainer
Posted By Team Coast on Mon, Aug 28, 2017 at 9:49 AM
I pulled up at the red light turning onto the MacDonald Bridge from Dartmouth to the minivan in front of me just sitting there waiting for the light to turn green. There is no right turn on red, that's true, but only between 6am and 9am and 4pm and 6 pm. It was 9:10 am. So, because we didn't have to just sit there, I honked my horn. The minivan didn't move, either because they didn't know it was after 9 am or because they couldn't see the sign from their position. In any case, I was annoyed enough, but then YOU had to show up and block the other lane. You, Mr. Mid-50s on a motorcycle being all high and mighty, commiserating with minivan and shaking your head at me, tapping on the side of your helmet like I was the one being a dumbass, while I continued to honk and firmly inform you that it was "AFTER 9!" while tapping my watch. OK, so maybe I was being a little aggro, but for fuck's sake, I was RIGHT and you were being a dick. You had a full view of the sign and yet you just assumed that I, a young woman, was the one in the wrong. Fuck you and your minivan friend for wasting two minutes of my time with your bullshit. I'm not vindictive enough to wish you physical harm, but I would find it pretty satisfying if a garbage truck backed over your bike while it was parked outside whatever shitty workplace you were going to. —Cranky Sedan

Going nowhere Just go through
Posted By Team Coast on Mon, Jun 5, 2017 at 9:56 AM
Can you guys who must stop at every junction in the Macdonald Bridge just get over it! You are slowing the traffic sometimes to a halt causing unnecessary delay, increased transportation costs and environmental damage. The bumps on the bridge are no worse than many you will find in highways. You do not have to stop or even slow down. Just go through it at the regular speed. Do it once and you will see that you did not break your neck or your wheels did not fall off. —Driver fed up with wimps
