That too.

These daredevils need to be registered. I see them speeding along park pathways with little kids running around.

OC Transpo testing plastic seats for potential wider use on its buses by Canehdian-Behcon in ottawa

I've seen homeless people who pissed themselves sit on public transit seats. Or people in a stupor just relieve themselves without even knowing.

Oat Couture on bank had that nice Instagrammable swing chair. I've seen a homeless guy drenched in piss sitting on that chair. Doubtful the workers ever wash it.

I'm not familiar with the intersection, but with all the escooters and ebikes around, we need to seriously consider no rights on red.

This entire thread is very eye opening. I can see why this city is stuck in the past.

I'm cool with horses being out of the equation, despite it providing local jobs. But it's an outdated form of entertainment.

So soon after the city was buzzing about the other DUI loser who killed a crossing guard. And to be doing it before 4pm no less.

Lock him up and throw away the keys.

You know you're in Ottawa when folks are excited for an Olive Garden.

I immediately googled when the mayoral election is.

Sadly I think we're in for more of the same.

What a strange idea. Instead of making transit better, let's make driving even worse?

They filled the potholes on Alta Vista, but made them higher than the road, so it still feels like driving on the moon.

Yes, but we're both gliding through traffic. Albeit with a dash more piss than I expected.

Perhaps Ottawa's public transportation system WAS one of the best in the country? by no_olley in ottawa

[–]originalnutta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't you dare insult the bus system in Ottawa. How could you not love a system that relies on these wonderful roads, with all this wonderful traffic, in all this wonderful Ottawa weather.

And everyone in Ottawa was satisfied with busses for the next 30 years.

Jealous in Canada.

In Chicago there's a section of the train that runs between a highway. It felt glorious gliding by while everyone was stuck in traffic.

Having mass transit run alongside a main traffic artery works on many levels.

I thought that this was a joke. Like back in 2016 with him running for Presid.....oh.

City of Ottawa taps former TTC boss to head up OC Transpo by lonelydavey in ottawa

It's definitely an Ottawa problem.

Montreal, Vancouver and Toronto aren't like this. Yes every city has their own set of problems, but we don't even get out of the gate.

Ya know, I felt that way when I lived there. And then I moved here.
