Well that's a cruel way to write a headline https://ottawa.ctvnews.ca/one-month-of-no-charge-transit-to-compensate-oc-transpo-riders-would-cost-15-million-1.6560357
One month of 'no-charge transit' to compensate OC Transpo riders would cost $15 million

One month of free transit to compensate riders for disruptions caused by the O-Train shutdown this summer would cost an estimated $15 million, but the head of OC Transpo says the transit service doesn't have the money to offer free rides.

What exactly is the point of stealing the seat off of an 8 year old cheap Costco bicycle? My teen's bike lock is more expensive than her bike, but she's had every possible part and accessory stolen off of it over the course of the season. #ottbike

@knoland @Sensitivezombie @neanderthal The one I lived in from 2003 to 2018 had no public transit at all. Now they have one bus that takes people to the city in the morning and comes back late afternoon. But the closest bus stop was 8km from my home.

@knoland @Sensitivezombie @neanderthal That is an interesting idea, but also very urban-centric. For most of my life I lived in places that had no public transit. So even if I went to a bar that had transit, it wouldn't have gotten me home.

I love when we're on vacation and I get to observe other families and be reminded of all the parenting stages that we survived.

Getting onto the Metro after Osheaga. Took a while, but didn't break the train. They didn't even offer free rides, so in this chaos people were having to buy tickets (if they didn't have them), scan passes, etc.

@Compassionatecrab I have those two and a tube of extra strength diaper cream (for chafing). I live dangerously by keeping the light off when I brush my teeth before bed.

@casseagull It was so perfect that I ran for hours this evening and enjoyed every minute of it.

Both my computer and my brain are finding this Monday to be very Monday-like.

@casseagull all of these! Fontaine is the most central. The one I went past today is at the Fairview estate.
