  1. Transit is objectively safer than driving oneself. Doesn’t make it preferable, but it’s safer.

    Don’t live in Edmonton.

      1. Yah and the stupid armed RCMP stood there and watched the Chinese Illegal start eating the guy’s body.
        Now the Chinese illegal is out of jail and hospital and working at McDonald’s.

    1. “Transit is objectively safer than driving oneself. ”

      That is a nonsense statistic that compares apples and oranges and that is endlessly repeated by transit proponents. It is like saying that throwing stones is safer than firing guns. Driving gets you to where you want to go. Transit gets you to the neighborhood of where you want to go. Driving allows you to do multiple quick errands and visit places where it would be time prohibitive to use transit. Driving takes you from home. Transit takes you from your neighborhood. Those are not substitutes. Driving is more than communing to and from work between your millennial condo and the corpo tower.

  2. There’s a suitcase pokin me in the ribs, there’s an elbow in my ear…
    There’s a smelly old bum standing next to me, hasn’t showered in a year.

    1. Ah… Another “Weird Al” sycophant! “Another One Rides the Bus”, I believe.

      “I think I’m missing a contact lens
      I think my wallet’s gone
      And I think this bus is stopping again
      To let a couple more freaks get on… look out!”

  3. All the local greasy Politicians love their EGO projects and the kick backs.
    Spend Billions of Tax Dollars to make portable drug and crime centers.
    Local Politicians should not be able to do Mayors/Council EGO Projects with Tax Dollars.
    Provinces need to end the abuse of the tax payers

  4. So I checked out another tweet from Cory Morgan…the one where the guy is burning cardboard in a bus shelter.
    The pathetic responses chastise Cory for not having sympathy for him.
    Could someone from Edmonton please tell me how many crisis shelters are in Edmonton?
    If zero than yes, pity the poor guy.

    1. Give ‘im a free ticket to nice, warm Hongcouver. As a bonus, as of this coming Tuesday, he’ll be able to do hard drugs legally. Win/win!

  5. Only “things” were broken. Things can be replaced. The city has insurance. But nobody was hurt. Things can be replaced … but a methman with his skull bashed in by a responding police officer will never heal.

    This … is now the ‘official’ leftist narrative. Every leftist-run city has adopted it.

  6. If one out of every one hundred hitchhikers is a serial killer, does that mean we have three free rides we can give? Looking for some optimism here and ignoring round-off error.

  7. Hey, settle down guys it’s only a bus, like, it’s not a pylon along a bike lane or something like that.
    Oops, didn’t turn the sarc button off. Dammit!
    Edmonton is so far down the woke road that it is going to be decades before it recovers. His worship just a few days back asked the province for an additional 2 billion to help with the current council’s dreams for the future.
    “A POLITICIAN’S DREAM IS A TAXPAYER’S NIGHTMARE!”

  8. The declaration of Independence,will fix Edmonton.
    Once the freeloaders realize there will be no welfare and little money for a parasitic overload..They will flee to Trudeau’s Can Ahh Duh.where the “free stuff” is still promised,if you belong to “The one true party”.
    And if that does not remove enough,then we can declare Edmonton a “Province of Buffalo” in their own right and watch them starve as they can no longer loot and extort the rural regions.
    Redmonton is a blessing for the rest of the free west.
    We have them surrounded.

    1. Any woke city is anything but “smart.”

      But please… Don’t tell them that! They like to live in the fantasy.

    2. Where riding on the bus with street hoodlums, junkies and and insane vagrants is wave of the future!

  9. Public transit can never quite shake its most fundamental limitation.

    People don’t take it because they want to.

    They take it because they have to.

  10. Lisa Simpson:
    Why don’t you take public transportation?

    Homer Simpson:
    Public transportation is for jerks and lesbians.
