Anybody else always get blind sided by these fuckers? So huge

Double deckers are cool. Shame they weren't successful in New York.

Atlanta's been toying with the double-deckers too. They're neat!

Go transit is dope

>>1043843
Blindsided how? Biking, walking? Surely not driving ?

Can the Enviro400 be any more aesthetic? I just fucking love that bus

>>1044081
Biking. They take as much of the road as they are entitled and when they pass me when I'm cycling in the bike lane it always feels too close for comfort, even though everyone is abiding by the law.

>>1044087
Have you made a formal complaint to the transit agency? They can let the drivers know to be more aware of cyclists

>>1044088
I'm an unentitled poor person. They wont listen to me.

>>1044088
Good idea. Report it to the transport operator AND the goverment organisation running everything. Buses should be giving you enough room.

Reminds me of how in London some operators have installed object detection which makes a ringing sound if anything gets too close to the edge of the bus. But when the bus goes round any corner, or goes near any railing the damn thing starts ringing uncontrollably. Really pointless and annoying system, drivers just neeed to be trained better. IMO they should have to sepnd a week in each season cycling the routes they drive.

Have you bothered even trying? If you're talking about the GO busses like in the OP picture, then they're accountable to the provincial government so you could bitch at your MPP

>>1044095
>literally collision detection
I don't know why this isn't a standard feature on busses. I'm sure it can be calibrated to be less sensitive to stationary objects

>>1044098
I might.

Dir sir or madam,

This is a formal complaint against GO Transit for driving dangerously and without due care to vulnerable road users

Yesterday I was cycling along xyz street and a GO Transit operated double decker Enviro500 bus passed me at an incredible speed and with not enough space for a cyclist to allow for any error.

I was scared, and my safety was compromised due to the careless and dangerous actions of your driver. This has occured multiple times involving buses operated by this company.

The bus did not safely wait behind me to overtake at a suitable location, overtake at a reasonable speed, or provide at least 1m of space which is accepted worldwide as the minimum for safely overtaking cyclists.

As a result I request you train your drivers on how to better interact with vulnerable road users to prevent the injury and death which will occur should your drivers continue in the dangerous and unskilled manner in which they operate.

>Feel free to edit, suggest etc. This is just 5 mins of draft

You might even get more traction if a group of like minded cyclists wrote a polite letter to GO/Metrolinx + local MPP. Like a cyclist advocacy group - similar to groups that cagers have

>>1044101
See I would never come up with that.

I guess I could take it to the MP tomorrow.

>>1043875
Only good transit in the GTA, and thank god, without them we'd cease to function.

>>1044107
MPP nigga. And make sure to send copies to Metrolinx and GO transit as well.

>>1044119
What the fuck is an MPP?

>>1044120
Metroid Prime Pinball.

Mother pumping procedure?

>>1044120
A Member of Provincial Parliament. Your local MP isn't going to give two shits about a GO bus running you off the road

I edited it for you

Dear sir or madam or xir, but probably sir

This is a formal complaint, with the full weight of /n/ behind it, the worlds foremost online cycling forum hosted on a chinese girl cartoon imageboard.

Yesterday I was cycling along xyz street and a GO Transit operated double decker Enviro500 bus, with what was likely an immigrant driver (asian or one of the other ones), passed me at an incredible speed and with not enough space for a cyclist to allow for any error.

I felt that my safety was compromised, especially due to my plus-sized body. The driver honked his horn, which made the sound of a large tuba in sync with my pedaling, and little indian children riding on the bus recited the classic rhyme "sanjay the silly cyclist".

As a result I have created multiple threads on /n/ advocating cager genocide, day of the chain soon. I request you reduce the chinese-ness of your drivers.
