1. Barrie Transit Rant
Original English title:Barrie transit rant
Post summary:Just missed two transfers because the app showed my connecting bus was still at the station, but it left when my bus arrived. I know schedules matter, but a 30-60 second transfer wait could save passengers 20-40 minutes of waiting. The system already knows where buses are, so why not use that info? Small changes like this could make transit more reliable.

2. Warning to tenants in Barrie/Springwater area (Hwy 90) + seeking local advice on deposit recovery and small claims process
Original English title:Warning to renters in Barrie/Springwater area (Hwy 90) + seeking local advice on deposit recovery & Small Claims process
Post summary:Hi everyone, just wanted to share a cautionary tale for anyone looking to rent in the Barrie/Springwater area (especially along the Hwy 90 corridor) and see if anyone locally has dealt with something similar. My roommate and I rented a unit outside Barrie, paid a large deposit ($3,200). After the landlord took our money, they kept delaying the move-in date, eventually leading to the lease being cancelled. The landlord promised to refund

4. Hit and run at Georgian Mall
Original English title:Hit and run at georgian mall
Post summary:Some Neanderthal in a truck hit my front bumper, messed it up, and then took off while I was at work. I parked in the lower lot at Tim Hortons, and where I parked there are no cameras except the door camera. Is there any way to identify this person? I'm going to file a hit-and-run report, but I don't know if the police will help. Why are people like this?

Here are the steps I had to take: If the damage is over $5,000, file a police report and take your vehicle to a collision center. Contact your insurance company and tell them about the hit-and-run. They need the police report to consider you 'not at fault.' Take your vehicle to a repair shop recommended by your insurance. Since your insurance can't charge the other driver/insurance company, you'll need to

If you have support/evidence, it's 'not at fault' and covered under comprehensive (I believe)... much better than dealing with blame and being considered partially at fault.

If you got the back up/proof, it’s “no fault” and covered under comprehensive (I believe) …much better then dealing with fi - Due to lack of surveillance and it being a hit-and-run, this will be tricky, but you should still go to the reporting center on Fairview Rd to file a report, then contact your insurance. Question - how do you know it was a truck? Witness?

5. Outdoor pickleball
Original English title:Outdoor pickleball
Post summary:I'm looking for busy and popular outdoor pickleball courts in Barrie or the surrounding area. My rating is 3.75, I'm from Toronto but visit family here once or twice a week, so I want to keep playing while I'm here. I know about Pickleplex in Barrie, but the times don't work well for me, and outdoor courts would be much more flexible for my schedule. Thanks!

9. It takes a village
Original English title:it takes a village
Post summary:A bit of a rant, and it's raw for me. I noticed a homeless couple sitting on the sidewalk outside my house, and the guy had a badly injured leg. My first instinct was to gather some first aid supplies and bring them out. They were very kind, asked where the nearest church was to get food, so when I ran inside to grab my phone to look it up, I also got them some food. Throughout, they were humble, grateful, and kept apologizing for 'doing this outside your house' (I insisted it wasn't a problem).

Post content summary:So we're planning to make ketchup in the next few weeks, and we usually drive to St. Jacobs, but given gas prices and the time it takes to get there and back, we're looking for alternatives.
