Let’s call this a Thursday rant…
(… well, technically I am writing this on Wednesday night but it won’t pop up till tomorrow..) Rant # 1 – People on social media who make a fulltime job…
oc transpo
So, OC Transpo…
… when did it become OK to allow Christian proselytizing on your buses? I find this offensive: And just a couple of ad slots along is yet another ad for…
OC Transpo… stay classy
This incident where an OC Transpo driver refused to stop and let off a mom who was accidentally separated from her child is almost too appalling to be true. But…
Presto- here’s the thing…
… as one of my somewhat disloyal readers has pointed out, proximity payment has been around for a while. Quite a while. So what happened with Presto? Please. Explain this…
Presto! Like magic, it’s gone!!!
Well, sort of. I don’t want to rag on this – plenty of naysayers will do that in fulsome manners, I reckon. But I really do have to wonder why…
Things are still messed up…
… in Prestoland! And it’s looking more and more like I may be able to use my EcoPass a little bit longer than I thought! Which is important to me…
Glitches in the new Presto transit cards…
… are forcing OC Transpo to delay the handout of the cards by at least 10 days to do some more testing. To me, this is good news. Hopefully there…
The elimination of the ECOPASS program…
… might turn me back to my car as my way to get to work… Flawed logic alert here folks: Termination of the ECOPASS program The introduction of PRESTO will…
Friday miscellany…
… in like a lion edition… I have, so far, stayed away from saying a lot about the ongoing car accident going by the name of Robo-gate, phonescam, etc. Final…
I’m surprised that this…
…hasn’t happened before. Sightline-wise, it’s a helluva bad spot for buses coming on to the westbound Transitway. They do have to nose out to see if the way is clear…
Just a thought…
…but seeing that there is so much empty ad space on OC Transpo busses, why doesn’t the City offer the space to charities, community associations and not for profits to…
Friday miscellany…
So Harper is acting all smug and tough in Davos, isn’t he? Although short on details, Mr. Harper’s speech to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Thursday made…
OC Transpo greediness…
…and indefensible position on the use of bus GPS data is getting more print space. Good article. C’mon Mercier! Get with the program! Trashy, Ottawa, Ontario
Friday miscellany
OC Transpo wants to keep the GPS data all to themselves – it’s all about the money! The head of OC Transpo told Ottawa’s transit commission the transit provider didn’t…
Way to go, OC Transpo!
What a great idea! As reported by the O dot, Ottawa’s bus service will soon included an executive fleet! I’ll like not having to step over the vomit while exiting…
Something I just don’t “get”…
… is why OC Transpo just doesn’t “get” why it has an image problem. Put aside singing drivers, yelling drivers, drivers on phones, etc. for a sec and just consider…
The fusses on the buses
Things have been a little crazy on the city buses lately. First there was the driver who was videotaped shouting, swearing and intimidating the student. (If you haven’t seen that…
Really? Seriously? OC Transpo is whining again?
This guy has gall. And is about as arrogant as one can get. Way to build positive relations, you idiot! For the record, I have ridden these buses for more…
