I don't mind public transportation. I like reading and sometime I'd have to go through those books anyways, plus sometimes you can meet/see really interesting people in there. It costs me 700 EUR for a one year and the pt here is really good.
I borrow my car from parents if I really need it.

I took a cab this morning, and it was $30 well spent.

I do love public transportation. It's a big reason why I live in Chicago. My commute is 1 hour and 10-30 minutes each way, to and from work. I do all my reading on the bus/train, and I've read a lot of great books that way in the past six months. I only feel the desire to complain in the winter, because I hate the weather. My bosses offered me a promotion that would cover the cost of buying a car, but I think I'd rather stick with PT and look for a new job closer to home. Having a car in the city is a lot of work, especially with street cleaning and lots of snow to shovel off and expensive gas, parking and city stickers.

I didn't even think you could smoke on buses anymore, and then I remembered you live in Quebec.

what's your favourite colour, juliiii? i'll knit you a scarf and mail it to you.

If you could read, which I know most of Nova Scotia cannot do, you would see that it said:

and not on the bus. Get it? He was smoking while he was waiting to get on the bus, where it was windy. Wind blows ashes around.

The sound of the TTC makes me feel all warm

It sounds like Sesame Street! :)

i pretty much have a love/hate relationship when it comes to taking public transit. at times i like doing it, but at other times, it can be such a darned pain in the ass to take(espeically the fact that i have to give an extra time allowance to get ANYWHERE AT ALL, via pubic transit). this time allowance crap is exactly why i hate taking the regular buses that stop everywhere, and have a huge preference towards taking express buses and the L(especially the Red, Purple, and Blue Lines) over a regular bus route anyday of the week(i just wish the darned X49 and X80 buses would run on ALL weekend days(including holidays), and NOT JUST ONLY on stupid weekdays/weekday rush hours).

dammit, i actually am gonna admit that i'm getting to the point where i'm getting sick of relying on transit, and wanting my own car to drive everywhere, even if it is a pain in the ass to find parking in some neighborhoods. i mean hey, it beats the hell outta getting stuck somewhere after the buses stop running and having to beg someone for a ride, and/or walking a few miles to find the next damn closest bus route still operating, that's for fucking sure.

WTF 350-700 EUR for a yearly pass? Paris has the most extensive metro in the world, and buses *******d, for 250 a year, or 48 a month. And this city is goddamned expensive.

Oops, you're right - I made a mistake.I pay about 20 EUR for 3-month pass, however I am a student.
