Yeah were fuckin forced

I have an appointment in Toronto and I live in Kitchener. I can drive for 1.5hrs to get there, or lets take 4hrs out of my day to take 5 different buses to get there. Thats also ignoring the trip to Waterloo international airport because my work is nearby and thats where the bus leaves from.

Then I have to turn around and spend another 4hrs getting back? Or if its after 8pm im fucked theres apparently no way to even get back all the way, id have to take a taxi or uber accross kitchener

Also this will cost me probably $100 round trip too

So yeah were pretty forced into driving

We wouldn't have that type of option where I live. It's Uber or drive your own car.
