transit strike

So I go to China for a month and come back to what? A damned transit strike? Are you kidding me? I have to work on Tuesday morning, flush with jetlag! I can’t drive. I can’t bike. My eyesight doesn’t allow for those sorts of luxuries. I can’t leave you people alone for a fucking […]

Statistically speaking, 98% of a population is basically ALL. So basically all but a few voted in favour of a bus strike that kept many elderly, physically challenged and poor people from getting to necessary doctor appointments and food banks. Keeping the Access-a-Buses running at least would have shown some class and not even affected […]

Dear guy in the white acura SUV: thank you for speeding through the bridge tolls and cutting me off to the point where I almost hit you, then flipping me off. You’re quite a human being. Please come back Metro Transit, the drivers that are being forced to drive because you are not running are […]

With all due respect, this bus strike comes off as sheer greed!! I have an Architecture degree that took me 5 years to get; I’m an educated and skilled working professional! I did this because I love Building Design and I wanted a lucrative profession! Metro Transit workers chose their occupation as well. However, it’s […]

To all you minimum wage workers complaining about the strike: you’re the ones that look stupid. You look stupid because YOU rely 100% on a service that is not always guaranteed to commence. You knew this strike was coming. You should have been more prepared. I am a student and I haven’t taken the bus […]

So. I’m done being nice. I live near a bus terminal and I work near another one. Posted an ad offering a free drive for someone during the strike. Got a response. Made an arrangement to pick someone up a little out of my travel times… to be nice. The DOUCHEBAG didn’t show up, didn’t […]

Big fat finger to Metro Transit. Go back to work. My boyfriend just got laid off (you should be grateful you HAVE a job in this climate). And now because of this strike he can’t go get his daughter who lives out of town with her mother. He was happy to rent a car for […]

I know there’s already been a few bitches about it, but I gotta get mine out. To the people striking, personally I think you all look like children. You’re given 2 choices, choose shifts and get paid less, or don’t choose shifts and make less? What’s the problem? No other job I’ve worked let me […]

I am a early twenties female, and because of the transit strike I have to walk home after work, which takes almost an hour, in -10 weather, by myself, at almost midnight. To the Mayor, and all other city officials involved in letting the strike happen, please connect yourselves back to reality. Think of those […]

I have had about enough of people bitching that bus drivers get enough money already etc. They may not have an education, but seriously, your shit does stink and driving a bus is not easy work. Having a university education might mean you just ate what you were fed about schooling and are now bitching […]

To everyone bitching about the buses. Just shut up and enjoy the outside. We have a tonne of trees, a great breeze and beautiful fresh air. It’s about all we have in this province. Maybe if everyone stopped bitching about it, they would realize that they don’t even need this “essential service”. —Essential My ASS
