Please note the following:
* All chatrooms are linked together. If you join one room your messages will be copied to the other platforms.
* Matrix is an open source and potentially distributed chat protocol. The matrix room listed is hosted on matrix.org, a somewhat centralized hub for a lot of currently public rooms. Though the protocol itself is free, libre and open source, the deployment of the protocol resembles a centralized service. This may be fixed in the future with the deployment of independent servers.
* Be aware that both Telegram and Discord are centralized proprietary platforms and do not necessarily protect your rights nor privacy while simultaneously giving power to corporations.
It would probably help a lot, even if the trains had the same top speed AND acceleration being able to go around tighter corners would help a ton. There's a lot of weird turns in the system, especially Lees - Hurdman - Tremblay. Hurdman - Tremblay is actually where it derailed for a month or so.
Here's what it looks like currently:![](https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/4650f02f-3f8e-4c96-9de9-a89a28e8f842.png)
and I understand why they wanted it to go to Hurdman, it's a large bus station.
But I wish instead it looked like this:![](https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/c62d3d37-b164-4d5b-a7c5-920fbb9d3216.png)
Then maybe they could have made some a busway where the tracks are now and maybe make Tremblay's LRT station underground and then on the ground it's a bus loop.
