the bus system here is the most reliable aspect of life in madison.

+1 buses

Heck, if it weren't for the buses I wouldn't even be able to make it to and from work in the winter... er.. now.

:lol It's absolutely maddening isn't it? The only thing the TTC and the politicians care about is the subway...as long as that's running okay (and to be fair it generally does, though I waited almost ten minutes for a train on the Spadina line going southbound DURING RUSH HOUR), they figure the whole TTC is fine and everyone should be happy cause the only place people work is downtown. It's a fucking joke...I'd bet over half the city never even touches the subway line, that the real transit commuting takes place on the buses. There are thousands of jobs in Etobicoke and Scarborough, and hundreds of thousands of people living in these areas, and most of 'em work in the same jurisidiction (including me). So why would I or anyone else give a flying fuck that the subway works well, when the bus routes in the suburbs have gone to complete shit? I couldn't get to the subway on time even if I wanted to.

I'm pretty sure the only TTC the politicians use is the subway, and maybe the two or three stop ride from one of the subway stations along Queen to city hall. Otherwise they're getting driven around in tax-paid cab fares and limos, feeling smug because they're not driving their car into work while wanting everyone else to follow their lead. Yeah, I'll give you some lead...a lead pipe to your fucking skulls.

I love the bus. It lets me skip the horrendous California freeway traffic and catch up on my reading at the same time.

Too bad it's twice as slow as taking your own car in traffic.
