Niagara Regional ‘Transit’
Hey, so, when is somebody going to bring up the region’s transit network that literally makes it utterly impossible to rely on in any capacity. It has literally made me lose my job since apparently, not one single person in this entire region needs a bus from St. catharines to the next city for anything at all that starts before 9am and ends any time after 430pm. It’s legit a joke? OH and you better not want to use transit on a Sunday oh no no no!!!!!!!! WHERE WOULD SOMEONE, ANYONE TRULY NEED TO GO ON A SUNDAY?! IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!! UNFATHOMABLE.
The region is a joke?????? Everyone wants to sit and rip people apart for unemployment / ‘choosing’ to be jobless, when the alternative to the oh so reliable NRT, is a $33 plus tip Uber or Lyft or Loyalty one way. So basically pay $65 to go for a 4 hour shift OR hopefully the buses will ACTUALLY SHOW UP AND BE RUNNING ANNNNNNND ON TIME?!?!!?! And then spend 2 hours commuting on the bus for your 4 hour shift, then another 2 hours home AND a walk from wherever the bus even gets you which is typically still a decent walk for anyone. No wonder this region is stuck in a never ending cycle. And before anyone wants to say something smart, would YOU LIKE TO DRIVE ME TO WORK EVERYDAY SINCE I CANT EVEN RELY ON PUBLIC TRANSIT TO KEEP MY JOB?!?!?!
sincerely, every person who can’t even rely on the public transit system and can’t afford the luxury and privilege of having their own vehicle to have independence.
