| Only losers take the bus
I can now say with the utmost assuredness that Volvos really are the safest cars on Earth. I know this because mine was recently written off, leaving me alive but faced with a small tour of chiropractic duty. I am cheered yet utterly depressed, facing winter with some major bus action.
I haven't taken a bus for many moons, which not only makes me a spoiled brat but an uninformed one as well. What number do I phone? Where the hell is the bus and what do you mean it's almost two bucks?
Well, thanks to the folks at calgarytransit.com, I can now seem like some sort of tree-hugging, car-hating, ultra-self-righteous public transit crusader. I can buy my pass online, navigate the Fish Creek Park park ’n' pay for sweet spot ’n' ride, and extol the virtues of Calgary Transit's commitment to the environment. I can print out maps and schedules, see what's new in the fast-paced world of bus frequency, or just check out the propaganda on the new LRT digs.
Good Christ, what have I been reduced to? Please someone, anyone, just give me a frickin' Auto Trader – I'll drive a Tempo, I don't care!
What? My insurance has increased how much?
Mmmmm, you ever notice how warm those bus seats are after someone else's ass has warmed them? Share the love, take public transit. |
