Fuck you metro transit.

You make me late for work, your routes are more random and useless then the ramblings of a drunk tourettes patient, and if you were to ever be on time, I’d eat my own face.

In conclusion: metro transit, get fucked. —Cause it’s not like I have to be somewhere

  1. Try going without transit for a week and see where it gets you. And if you’re late for work all the time….. REVISE YOUR FRIGGIN SCHEDULE!!! I’ll tell you one thing. My daily morning “21” shows up precisely when it should and gets me to work precisely when I want to be there (at 7:50 for any bitchers that may be on the same one…..) Sure, sometimes the trip back home takes a little longer or is delayed, but whatever dude…. I assume you’ll always be late for work since you appear to be too dumb to realize that taking an earlier bus might solve the problem.

  2. If you’re talking about being late this week…hello!! It’s the first full week of university and summer vacation’s over for the working joes. Have you noticed the increased traffic on the streets? Can buses fly?

  3. betcha you don’t know how to read o.p., i have never missed a bus that was sposed to be there. and if you wait til the last second to run after it, well you will just fucking have to wait for the next one, which, by the way is printed in their booklets too.

  5. Traffic has been killing me this week. I’ve given myself time in the morning to deal with it….but I get off at 5pm and need to pick up my son from daycare by 6pm….and I barely made it yesterday. One more week and then traffic will die down a bit as students get in there groove, and all the parents with out-of-province-plates on the road that can’t f’n drive will be gone!

  6. BTW – loved the “drunk tourettes patient” reference…. I would have gone with “it’s about as organized as a monkey shit fight at the zoo” …. but still good laugh for a Friday!

  7. Arriving late by bus just tells me that I need to be at the bus stop for the earlier bus. How is that Metro Transit’s fault?

  8. I was late twice this week. First time traffic was so backed up on North, it wouldn’t have mattered if I drove or took the bus. Second time my first bus was really late getting to Mumford so I missed the connection (again, due to traffic). This doesn’t happen often enough to change my schedule and in both cases I was only 10 mins late, but it was annoying. However, I really think it wouldn’t have made a huge difference if I was driving a car, I may have been able to try an alternative route but traffic is traffic. Sometimes we have to deal with it.

  13. Op: buy a car. When I moved to Halifax, I used Metro Transit for 2 weeks….the service was horrible, the damn thing was never on time, or worse yet, ahead of schedule and wouldn’t wait at the stop. So I went out and bought an SUV. Fuck Metro Transit. I cut them off now just to piss the driver off.

  14. Granted I’m living in the South End, but this city is so friggin’ walkable I don’t even really see the need for the bus to begin with.

  15. I’m going to laugh my ass off when Sebastian tries to cut-off a bus and smashes into one. Somehow he’ll pull a Kay and try to make it seem like it’s the bus driver’s fault.
