Nice so you don't have to floor it to make a yellow or Kickstart your air-cooled motorcycle when a long red turns green.
The timing is off by 3 seconds to stop people from going just before it turns green. So people go 4 seconds early.
This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.
Just ordered a taxi in Beijing, a 1 tier city, and were 1st timer surprised to watch amap show my taxi wait for the countdown and then approaching me (they only wait for green at big crossings, btw). I also used amap to book the ride. Not really sure how useful it is for getting a ride, but pretty novel to watch.
How do you like Beijing? The scale is kinda insane. "OH I'll just take the subway" and its like 5 hours.
I use didi when I need to book a ride, but that's almost never given how ubiquitous and cheap meituan ebikes or scooters are, when subways, trains, and buses fail me.
You pay like 2 dollars and then you can ride yellow escooters for 15 cents for 20 minutes for 10 days or bicycles literally free for a month. Only works for the city you buy it in btw.
Some buses don't come up in amap btw, I have to ask around.
Transnational trains don't show up in any app, you have to book them at the station they depart from, cash only.
