I have a job interview on Friday. If I owned a car, I would be able to get there in nine minutes, because it’s only five and a half kilometres away. If I walked, it’d take an hour and one minute. If—or when—I have to rely on Halifax Transit, I’m looking at 35 to 52 minutes of transit time. The LEAST amount of walking I could do would be for 17 to 20 minutes, and I’d have to take two different buses. Instead, I’ll likely opt for a 20-minute bike ride. Shame on you, transit!

Sorry, transit? Is there transit in Halifax? Really!
Suck it up butter-cup.
