I have noticed the lack of water around the city. I always carry my trusty water bottle around, but I better make sure it lasts the day, because it's next to impossible to fill. Good to hear there's at least one going in at Sackville Landing.
I might add that as far as semi-public locations go, the Dalhousie Student Union Building has a nice new fountain / water bottle filler by the washrooms, no security gate necessary. You just have to, you know, happen to be wandering through Dal campus and into the SUB...
While I'm sure the high frequency corridors are great, it's true that pretty much the only way to get from Bedford in to Dalhousie is the #80, which is a painful experience. Sure, it's 44 mins in theory, and sometimes if you're lucky that even happens, but it's not uncommon for it to be 15-20 mins behind schedule, and I've even had it over 30 mins late. It works out that I'm usually on the bus for exactly an hour, just to get from Bedford to Dal!
So while I agree with you that that article was inaccurate, there are still painful commutes around, and he was almost right with the Sackville one, just a little exaggerated.
