I like the idea of the train to the airport. But I don’t know anyone who relies on it to get them to the airport on time. Home, sure. But not for departure.
(But also, it replaced a bus that was 2x faster for me - even accounting for usual transit delays).

This is me: Important meeting? Leave an hour earlier than necessary or taxi/drive.

I wonder much better off Ottawa’s economy would be - and public sector productivity, for that matter - if this city had a reliable public transit system.

I have time to post because my bus was 20 minutes today.
I’ll head directly to my meeting rather than stopping at a local cafe for coffee/breakfast.
Between my kid down $20 and me skipping breakfast, Ottawa’s local economy will be down $30-35. One family. Less than 24 hours.
This city, man.
