Bus Strike!!! Grrrrrr

The Bus Transportation staff in the city where I live went on strike yesterday, during the first major snowstorm of the year!!! Grrrrr!!! I take the bus to work everyday so I've had to rely on my Bf and sister to get me to and from work (don't get me wrong, I have a car, but parking downtown costs $15 a day IF you are lucky enough to find a spot---> parking alone would eat up my whole budget for the week!!!) Add to that we got over almost 50cm of snow (just over a foot and a half) and you had CHAOS here yesterday!!!


I can work from home occassionally, but I have a job interview tomorrow and one Monday so I have to be downtown!! Wish me luck so I can get through this!!!

Bex, I live in the same city as you and I am also frustrated by the bus strike.


I don't have a car and I rely on public transporation not only to travel to work, but to run errands on the weeknights and weekends.
