When you have no reasonable reply resort to the above.
Fact of the matter is you CAN get to U of A in around half an hour. How was I wrong?
What you state is irrelevant and anecdotal. Fact of the matter is the city does provide reasonable avenues of transportation to get to all locations. Just because it isn't your CHOSEN means of transportation doesn't mean jack****.
Put it a different way. Transportation from North Van or Lonsdale to downtown Vancouver is brutal. So the city puts in the Seabus to ease some of that overload in an area and pathway that is bound to be difficult. You'd be hollering that the city should put in a ferry so you could drive your vehicle across the harbor when other modes do fine for most.
Similarly Vancouver has Skytrain to many outlying areas as well as West Coast Express. This hbeing an acknowledgement of the NEED to put these other modes in because servicing vehicular traffic is just not going to be the answer (and rarely is) none of them btw piggyback personal vehicles on the trains..
Similarly in Toronto, or basically any large city Go Trains service the commute to outlying regions. Because the highways are over run no matter how many lanes you care to add.
Edmonton is a rapidly growing city, different modes of transportation are required in any such city. But to try to pretend that commute time is significant in anyway in Edmonton is laughable.
your turn
Everything you have said in this thread is anecdotal, Replacement. Jesus Christ, man.
Since you are choosing to be purposely obtuse and belligerent, for the third time, I need my vehicle because I travel all around the city on a daily basis as part of my job. A point I keep making, a point you keep ignore and telling me to choose another mode of transportation to the University area. Shows your simply too eager to engage in response without actually reading what is replied to your posts. But then again, since my actual experience driving all over town daily doesn't jive with your illusions about traffic in this city is, it doesn't count for ****.
Between your Red Deer rant and anyone who can't get anywhere in the city in 30 minutes anytime of day (which is absolutely laughable, do you know what the Yellowhead Trail is?) useless ******** which of course you claim as fact, then turns around and claims someone's daily experience has no merit just because you say so just shows your on one of your crusades again. And I want no part of it.
As someone who spent 10 year living in Vancouver, why would I want a Ferry?!? If I need my vehicle for work, which I did, I just drive it over one of he bridges.
I consider any discussion with you on this matter over. Please follow suit.
