My sportscar(it’s a BRZ, not fancy) is parked all week and is only time I drive it is once a week to make sure that it doesn’t rust away. The metro does everything else for me and it’s amazing. I don’t own a bike, just a Bixi pass and a helmet. I can walk so many places. If I get caught out late the 350 will take me almost to my front door. I’m even considering getting setup for CommunAuto because my car is smol.
I had to get from Verdun to Hôpital Sacré Cœur for 6:30pm and at the last second I said fuck Décarie and took the metro and a bus and got their faster than if I had taken the car and in much better spirits. Public transit is badass and while I still don’t want to give up my car it’s because it’s a hobby kinda thing and I do not understand people who don’t even really actually care about cares fighting so hard for something that is so bad in a practical sense.
