Living in a small northern Ontario town, I wish we had Lyft or Uber here. Instead, just taxi's (or family) and public transport.
Our public transport is based on a center hub topology with the hub being downtown. So if my kid wants to take the bus to work, about kilometer away, it takes 45 minutes half of which is in the wrong direction and involves at least one transfer. Oddly, it takes even longer to get home.
Our public transport is a joke.
- fyfy18 9y agoIf it’s only a kilometre why not walk? That’s 15 minutes for the average person.
- bob_theslob646 9y agoWould you want to walk in below freezing weather?
- ghaff 9y agoSo long as there's a sidewalk? Yes? They make some very nice winter coats in Canada.
- cozzyd 9y agoAssuming you have proper gear, it's much nicer than walking in 100+ degree weather
- GhostVII 9y agoI walked like 2 kilometres to work everyday in Toronto in winter, it was fine. Just get a coat.
- s0rce 9y agoSure, I walked 30min everyday to grad school in Chicago weather. Unless it was pouring rain (ie. not freezing) then I would occasionally take the bus part of the way.
- fyfy18 9y agoYes, I do most days, here it's usually below freezing for most of December - February. Yesterday it was -20C (-4F) with windchill. Just get a good coat, pair of boots, hat and gloves and it's fine.
- eisa01 9y agoYes, it can be more convenient to walk in cold weather as you don't stand still to wait and freeze at the bus stop This was part of the reason I started walking 2 km to work rather than take the bus
- bungie4 9y agoIn case you haven't noticed, 15 yr old, and 17 yr old girls don't walk anywhere. LOL. Nor do they ride their bicycles. In fact, anything other than 4 wheels (or dad on two) will have them mysteriously taking a sick day. +30C or -30C, no difference.
