The above poster is right. As much as it hurts to hear, going to a Sens game now in valet, you find Lamborghini, Ferrari, McLaren, Rolls Royce, Bentley etc. I cannot see these individuals taking an LRT train to a game. Call it what you will, but the big money invested in suites and lower bowl season tickets like the finer things in life.Professional people won’t ride public transportation = Interesting conclusion.
You're saying professional people have Lamborghinis, Ferraris, McLarens, Rolls Royces, & Bentley’s?The above poster is right.

I guess in other cities with downtown arenas that have limited parking those people don't go to games either?The above poster is right.

They keep their Lamborghini/McLaren's parked in their garages and use their helicopters to fly in.I guess in other cities with downtown arenas that have limited parking those people don't go to games either?

LOL.
Lol, yes, but isn't riding elephants known to be bad for them? I figured I'd spare the animal cruelty and focus on human cruelty instead!LOL.
Sometimes they use their elephants as well.
They are using AI now to biologically reengineer mice into elephants, so with the abundance of elephants, the professional people don’t have to worry about that anymore.Lol, yes, but isn't riding elephants known to be bad for them?

In Toronto and Montreal there's an actual culture of using the subway to get around. It's been that way for decades.Professional people won’t ride public transportation = Interesting conclusion.

Been on the bus twice, 2 days I dropped off the car for service.In Toronto and Montreal there's an actual culture of using the subway to get around. It's been that way for decades.
When was the OC Transpo strike? 2008? That was the last time I used public transportation. I live in the suburbs and have actually never been on a bus in my suburb. Not once in 30+ years.
Taking a bus is not something people in this city do when there's a car available
In a large metro areas, using public transportation (commuter rail, subway, whatever) is often the fastest and most efficient way of getting somewhere. And it saves money also as parking is really expensive, if you can find it.In Toronto and Montreal there's an actual culture of using the subway to get around. It's been that way for decades.

if my wife or my dad wasn't available to drive me home from the mechanic's place, I'd be forced to re-schedule my appointment qBetter make bigger sewers.

Right. Ottawa isn't a large metro area. I agree with your point, it just doesn't apply to this city.In a large metro areas, using public transportation (commuter rail, subway, whatever) is often the fastest and most efficient way of getting somewhere.

Anyhow, its probably a good idea for me to not continue further into this discussion.
You see those cars in the winter? My fishing buddy uses a BMW as a tow car for his boat, but doubt there are Lambos cooking out to watch Sens games in January. Wtf.The above poster is right.

I remember when the cabs went on strike. It was so easy to get around the city.In Toronto and Montreal there's an actual culture of using the subway to get around. It's been that way for decades.

Sorry to say, there are multiple Lamborghini Urus at games, there is also a buddy of mine from our car group who brings his white Lamborghini Huracan on dry days to the Sens game, dead of winter. Then there is an absurd amount of G Wagun as well. Guys who have G Waguns generally have an exotic or two in their garage.You see those cars in the winter?

As a pure aside, I used to live in Ottawa.Right. Ottawa isn't a large metro area. I agree with your point, it just doesn't apply to this city.
Apart from commuting to and from work in the downtown core, which is a mess now because of the train and wfh, people in this city simply don't use public transportation if they have a car. Like ever.
I was quite serious about my suburb comment. I lived in Orleans since 93, never been on a bus here.
Perfect. I will grab one of those 500 spaces.Just over 8 years ago, the winning bid only allocated 500 parking spots at an Arena at Lebreton Flats…. And this time around it will most likely be the same… so the Rich and Famous may have to opt for a car service to get to events at a new Arena.

Public transit is largely taken by downtown workers who generally are not going to a lot of games as the numbers making a take home pay equivalent to other cities centers ticket holders is very low. Ottawa is an entirely different city than any NHL team in that they have minimal downtown corporate sponsorship and season ticket holders who work downtown. Even when they were at Landsdowne, 75% of the tickets were sold to West End people. Every other city has a downtown core where the money, corporate and professional, is. That is entirely backwards to Ottawa. It is a unique situation that must be accounted for.I guess in other cities with downtown arenas that have limited parking those people don't go to games either?
