Transit: The Madness to Come

[dewline]

I am now Very Nervous.

I rely on the bus to take me almost everywhere that shoe leather can't manage by itself, you see.

They're off, I can pretty much guarantee it. I'm not betting on a last-minute deal, either.

It's too bad OC isn't like the STM or TTC and won't even be offering limited peak service.

Agreed on that last point.

No chance that the latest bit of city budget progress might be turned to positive effect, our mayor's opinions aside?

I hope you'll pardon if I express myself in exceedingly sulfurous and vulgar obscenities --

YOU [utterly unprintable] IDIOTS!!

I too am dependent on the bus to get to work. I also work an odd shift, which makes almost impossible to find a carpool. If neither side backs down, either the taxis can expect a windfall ... or I am out of a job -- again.

Needless to say, I am not happy. It took SIX WEEKS to settle it last time. It had better not take that long ... or the merchants and motorists will notice a difference -- and (given the current economic mess) it may make the difference between survival and folding for some retailers.

Consider yourself forgiven. I hope it takes far less than six weeks to sort it out this time. We don't need the extra job casualties.
