    The Accessibility Report April 2026 Observations and Quarterly Feb-Apr

    Hello gang, welcome to the Accessibility Observations Report for April 2026. This podcast covers the Monthly April report, the normalization of February's numbers, as well as the Quarterly February-April 2026 numbers. Starting in May, we normalize things in to 4 categories: Fully Accessible: those rides whose internal and external are working or internal working by train Partial: Some things working, others may not Failures: Those who demonstrate complete failure Unknown: Those trips I could not verify due to positioning, or other variables This could make it very interesting, because we're not talking just success VS failure rate, we have more. The unknown could come where I'm in the back of the bus, but here a stop as I'm getting off, and the back speakers not working at all. We'll come across this if it happens. What I can say is that we know there are problems, and I want to invite people to contact me to tell me how they're doing and I'll ride along with you. Its the only way we can figure out what's happening. I won't call you a liar, you classify things differently than I do. I'll have more podcasts soon, we'll be in touch!

    A day in the life: A quick web site update and a board agenda package for May 28, 2026

    Hello gang, welcome to the podcast called "A Day in the life." Starting with this podcast, we're going to push it out to Social Media, so we'll see how things go. Welcome to all new listeners. This podcast covers some small web site stuff, as well as the agenda package for the board meeting which has a lot of contractual stuff, FIFA things, FY27 items, one item held back from April's meeting and more. This podcast covers all things meetings, including the upcoming board meeting, Operations which I sit on, The AAC which I've been a member of, PSAC, SFV and of course this board. The only group I'm a member of is the AAC, all others I am as a member of the public. This podcast covers observations, rides and more. Its over 70 episodes, but I thought since this is the first going through social media, i'd do a short explanation. We recently got our main braille display back, and yes, I did make fun of myself for not reading some of the numbers right, but hey, it can be taxing reading a long document. We'll have more podcasts soon, stay tuned and we hope you subscribe. Our web site has full contact info if you need it. Enjoy!

    The operations meeting for May 21, 2026

    In the better late than never department, I bring you the episode dealing with the operations meeting for May 21, 2026. It has been super busy, and I go in to a little bit of detail, not too much though. The web site has the print and braille, and we step through the agenda. I do not believe anything is out of the ordinary, but for those who don't keep up with PSAC, we will have a new presenter presenting to operations. See everyone soon.

    The audio of the opening to the purple line

    On this edition of the podcast, we're going to take you on a ride and do a few evaluations. As you can see, its very crowded, so we couldn't do much, but we did check some things out. We eventually found staff, which was good, but it was rough finding them. One of our contacts did finally come, but it was after I got to where I needed to be, and I decided we take the airwaves off at that point. We'll evaluate this more next time, and we'll see how things go.
