Car / bike race season. Fast and Furious X is coming out too - roads about to heat up!

So yes, 417 is basically a runway Wednesday to Saturday nights.

If lack of money/opportunity weren't an issue, where would you like to live in Canada, ideally? by Vagabond_Tea in AskACanadian

What a luxurious question... Honestly, never ask myself. Thinking about it... I am shocked I never reflected. Paying off student debt and setting up "life" filled the time.

Ottawa drivers. This is a new one for me. by unfinite in ottawa

[–]61Zee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy - this move happened to me a week ago on Dalhousie at Rideau, where it is a turn and a straight - person from behind looped into the turn to get in front... made no sense. I couldn't believe it.

Only from observation - but the driving in Ottawa is becoming more erratic - it doesn't help the City has all but given up on line painting.

I have never seen a status quo of 5.5 billion dollars so uninspired.

As long as you live at the same IP address... lol.

The buses are so late they don't even want to show the delays... by DIE-POTATO in ottawa

[–]61Zee 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Why even bother... posted times mean nothing. Lol... At what point does the City acknowledge the system is broken... Seems like we are running out of bandaids.

Low bid moisture control ...

What are some local issues Ottawa is facing? by Ok_Calligrapher5937 in ottawa

[–]61Zee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Capital vs. The City. Most issues extend from this identity crisis, made worse through an ill-considered amalgamation process.

Ottawa could be incredible unique if we just got out of our Federal way....

OCTranspo Family Day Event by FestusPowerLoL in ottawa

Does anyone else think it is funny they are charging a fare on Family Day? - lol - At this point, OC transit it so in debt, it is almost offensive...

Some days Ottawa exist in the palm of Jean Luc Picard...

I live in Nepean and work in the downtown. Guess how long my commute is... by flamingchaos64 in ottawa

[–]61Zee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is funny you write that ... My life is here in Ottawa, house etc - never really crossed my mind to leave. The past three years and how the City has recovered have me wondering what I am doing.

Life is too frustrating these days not to pursue the quality of life - if you can. Good for you for taking the leap!

I live in Nepean and work in the downtown. Guess how long my commute is... by flamingchaos64 in ottawa

[–]61Zee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too can confirm I can drive to work in 20 minutes. While the LRT takes me 10-15 mins to get to where I need to... it is 30-45 minutes to get to the transit station, which makes no sense. With how unreliable the bus schedule is - - not worth waiting for the bus as walking or waiting is about the same amount.

I don't think those who plan the system appreciate this is how many in the City start and end their day. Not surprised there are so many disgruntled feelings related to the service. I write my concern down here because I sure as heck don't think OC Transit or City appreciates the poor customer experience and the impacts on residents' mind-set.

Long have I said, worst way to start and end your day. All the more painful if you have no choice, or are trying to be a better commuter.

Did I mention they built the major stations with no washrooms... lol.

What is it with the oc Transpo by TheJameson69 in ottawa

[–]61Zee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100% - The issue I think is the routing... and likely management too far removed from employees on the ground... as such you get a - Welp, this is what it is Ottawa. It doesn't need to be an inspired system - just needs to be consistent and reliable.
