How's YOUR transit system right now?

Another nosy question, prompted by our current tsuris here in Bytown on the Outaouaias. Assuming you have such in your city or town, and that you use it, of course.

(Before I forget, if your system has a website, could you add a link to it?)

It's permanent in that the government needs to take action to fix it, and action is not their strong point. For example, it's taken ten years to respond to the drought we're having.

Links? Here's the first one I found:

Something we're going to have to watch out for symptoms of attempted infliction upon Ottawa, then. One more good reason to keep [livejournal.com profile] octranspo on my watch-list.
