| how do you get around???
Posted: 6/21/2006 1:59:33 PM | I take the 30 min bus to work and walk 45 minutes home. I get to sleep in the morning, and in the evening get a sampling of what exercise would be like. I'm shocked that I can move almost as fast as the bus.
I could drive, but why bother? Traffic and parking are horrendous, so I save the driving for when the kids are with me, for helping my folks, or for heading out of town. | |

Posted: 6/25/2006 12:55:48 PM | | My transportation is also my entertainment. I have a convertible...so I drive just for fun, spend alot of time in my car. Can't even imagine a bus anymore, haven't been on one in almost 20 years. | |

Posted: 7/4/2006 6:06:28 PM | | I take the bus everywhere, and I take the ferry to work, since I don't have a car. Better than paying for parking, I'd say. Everywhere else, I usually get a lift. | |

Posted: 2/19/2009 4:51:34 PM | I love walking in the snow, and slush!! The transit system is awesome, but sometimes its easier to just walk! I do a lot of walking with my job and I would choose to walk even if I had a car! (although a car would come in handy for grocery trips) | |

Are you kidding????
I live in and work in Dartmouth
And I have to leave at 7:00 a.m. , if I wanna grab a coffee and still be to work by 8:30
If I dont grab a coffee, I need to be on 7:30 bus
If I wanna go to Dartmouth crossing- it is 3 buses each way
Both places are only about a 12 min drive
HRM's transit sytem sucks and they know it | |

Posted: 2/19/2009 5:00:07 PM | | yes but if you worked in d/t halifax your commute by bus would be cut in half! I think that the trasit system needs to work on making the system work better over in dartmouth... I remember living in cole harbour and commuting around was hard | |

Posted: 2/19/2009 5:13:47 PM | I can get from my place to Halifax in 20 mins by bus. So if I worked in dt Dartmouth or dt Halifax, the bus would be convenient. But it takes 1 hr+, vs a 10 minute commute.
For people living Sackville, or other suburban areas it is even worse. | |

Posted: 2/19/2009 5:17:37 PM | | Thats why they have the link buses in place to try and make it easier for people to make it to DT halifax!!!! of course since Halifax is the centre of the HRM they are making it the focal point of all improvements! | |

Posted: 2/19/2009 5:27:03 PM | I never used the link. Even the regular routes on Portland will get you downtown fairly quickly. The Metrolink is pretty much empty outside of peak hours, which points to the inefficiencies at Metrotransit.
Downtown is being improved? As evidenced by what? | |
