A little mass transit etiquette for everyone

Posted on Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 11:35 PM

This has been bugging me for a very long time. In every other major city in Canada, transit passengers get on the bus at the front, and exit at the back. Why can't it be this way here in Halifax? It's not that hard. Get on at the front, leave out the back door. There's an inherent flow that goes along with this small consideration. It is one of those tiny little things that indicates that this city has it going on!

I'm not coming down on folks who, for whatever reason, need to get off at the front. I'm talking about the huddled masses who crowd around the front door and block people trying to get on the bus. It happens EVERY DAY. I'm not even exaggerating. I'm not looking for huge transit reform, I actually think the system runs fairly well for what we've got.

Please, just be courteous to the people waiting out on the street. Leave through the back door.... Please? —Sigh
