No bus in sight

Oh dear...the bus strike continues. What are the 2 sides up to? Folks in Ottawa manage to get around or not. Folks are getting frustrated as the strike goes into its second month.

I cannot really justify driving downtown once a week for my Wednesday early morning service. There is lots of traffic at that time of day. There is also the problem of where to park. So I have been missing that service and those friends.

When I went to Montreal to Trafalgar it was a big thing to get on the city bus. It seemed to be very high off the ground. There was no Metro yet at that time. In Lachute there was not public transit and I did not ride the school bus.

When I lived in downtown Ottawa I did not own a car for most of my time there. I took the bus to the stables. That is in fact how I started riding there - I could get there on the bus.
