reimagining suburbia

Ottawans still riding the bus...

... despite every effort by OC Transpo to stop them:
OC Transpo did not expect ridership numbers to return to normal until the fall, but the transport company's statistics show that ridership this March was only 2.8 per cent lower than it was in March 2008.
Personally, I've reduced my ridership by 38.5%, (2.5 days per week from 4), and now that the Tamils are making arrival times less predictable, I'll probably ride even less.  I guess not everyone has the luxury of alternate transportation, or the option of working from home.
Also, I'm looking forward to decent cycling weather so I can reduce my bus ridership to 0%!
