Part of my college course includes working at homes belonging to individuals who require personal support. If the transit strike continues the last eight months of my life will have been wasted, all the money I’ve put into school and living expenses WASTED because of this effing strike. I just want to get my degree […]
transit strike
Shame shame shame
You have officially come to a down time low. You expect to get public support and now you are blocking plows from leaving their depot? They are not doing scab work, they are doing their work. Shame, shame, shame on all of you for endangering the lives of our family, friends and co-workers. I only […]
Resolve the transit strike NOW!
Dear City Council: Resolve the fucking transit strike already! I couldn’t really care less whether the resolution is on your terms or not. I am a university student, I do not have easy access to carpooling, and cannot afford a $10 cab fare twice a week. I deliberately abstain from voting in elections (municipal and […]
Ride hitcher’s etiquette
Thank you only cuts it for the occasional lift. For ongoing transportational kindnesses, don’t just sit there sponging off of somebody. Don’t offer gas or parking money. Insist that it’s taken or leave it as you depart. At the very least, hand over a decent bottle of wine each week. A $13 or $14 bottle […]
Screwing your coworkers as part of quality of life
To the poor poor cry baby little whining bitches out on strike right now. Oh how I feel so bad for you making over 20 dollars or more an hour, for sitting on your fucking asses driving. You talk about wanting quality of life with an 80% divorce rate, well you guys are PICKING YOUR […]
4 wheels
This goes out to all the ATU members for their greed and blatant careless attitude towards the residents of HRM who used your service. My wife and I used to be transit users… each day to and from work. But since the strike, it’s been a challenge. So earlier this week we went out and […]
Perspective
The Never Ending Story that is the transit strike needs to be put into a little bit more of perspective. While the mechanics are accredited tradesmen/women, the bus drivers are not. They did not go to Bus Driver School and earn a degree. They got a class of licence that allows them to drive a […]
Rest well, sweet baby
I used to like taking the bus. Because of your selfish, delusional thinking that you’re somehow entitled, you’ve robbed me of precious time I had left with my dying, childhood pet. How many hours I’ve spent this month wasting time waiting for rides to get back to her side for a few more hours of […]
Enough is enough
Never have I been so ashamed to live in this city, when the needs of so many are put on hold because of the egotistical, selfish greed of the people who control one of our cities vital lifelines. This is no longer a union fighting for “what they’ve earned”, it’s a fucking pissing match and […]
Let me guess, a bitch about the strike
FUCK OFF WITH THE TRANSIT BITCHES. Obviously it sucks. What you have to say about it isn’t any more relevant/informed/stimulating than what anyone else has to say. Write a letter to the Mayor. —Bitch Bitcher
Cabittudes
Seriously cabbies? Get some manners and some respect. Currently the strike is putting A LOT of us out of a mode of transportation, and it sucks, but we are making do. I have had to use a cab over the past 48 hours and the last 3 times the cab drivers have been awful! I […]
Smoke and mirrors
Why is it that mayor Kelly keeps making the issue of the transit strike about money? He is quoted as saying ” there is no more money”. “We gave them an offer we thought was more than fair and taxpayers can’t afford anymore and they can’t be held for ransom”. Mayor Kelly is the one […]
