Well it seems Metro Transit will be facing a $900,000 deficit this year… well if you didn’t giveaway 2.8m in ‘signing bonuses’ (700x$4000) and free bus rides for 2 weeks’ish (85,000 the city was saving a day x 14 = 1.1 Million) we wouldn’t be running a huge deficit and not now be talking about raising fairs and property tax to pay for these morons decisions. Next time lets have a HRM ‘referendum’ and let the people decide. —A Watchman

Not sure i agree with you 100% on your math there OP..
They were saving 85k a day from the break of running buses with PAYING passengers. So that two weeks off will lose them more than that.

Jesus christ, who the fuck cares anymore?
Get a life, OB.
I think I know which watchman you are….
your blue dingle is showing.
so why are you complaining? you can teleport anywhere you want
watchman, you arthis business, if we don’t or no longer use it.e right about a refferendum on this business, and that’s all it is. a business that takes people from point a to b. these guys aren’t sports stars, or heroes or any glorious thing, they are fucking conveyors of people.maybe we should get ricshaws running in haifax, at least then, they would really earn their cash.
yes, driving can and does get rather nasty, and fucking crazy at the best of times, but what the fuck, you chose it, not me. and yes, you can get frustrated, well so the fuck can we, the rest of the public, that you say needs you. i just wonder how many people actually lost their jobs, wages, due to this bullshit fiasco of wilson’s?
yeah, there are those that say they are needed as a necessity, but then again, how many is that? and can we, as tax suckers, keep affording this business if we no longer need it or use it? privatise it, maybe, but not sure if that will really help.
yawn part II
what the fuck happened to my comment, it’ds all fucked up at the top part.
