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.

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.

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.
