Tales from the Transit Line
Curse from the Morning Commute:
If you bring your bike on the train at rush hour and park it in front of your seated self and three empty seats, may you get a flat tire of the next rainy day.

Report from the Evening Commute:
It was a busy weekend for one young commuter.
The red-head jeune fille spent Friday night with a guy-friend whose cat just died.
The 13-year-old feline’s death was apparently so devastating, the owner didn’t tell anyone about it for two weeks.
Saturday was spent at a party with some ‘old’ high-school friends and on Sunday she watched an entire season of Nurse Jackie – and somewhere in between she wrote notes for her study group.
In other news, her friend Daniel, who she has known since Grade 2, is apparently in love with her.
“How did I not know that,” she mused to her confident commuter, rhetorically resolving with a shrug “oh well, it happens.”

Report from the Morning Commute:
According to a young commuter’s power of reasoning, he “would have to seriously, seriously fu*k up” to kill himself “and maybe three or four other people,” while driving his car.
“But if the train even slightly fu* ked up,” he said, it would kill all of the hundred-odd people who were riding the transit vehicle with him this morning.
The self-proclaimed University of B.C. student, also noted he hates standing up.

Public Service Announcement from the Morning Commute:
Tired of missing your bus or feeling more like a sardine than a commuter?
You have a chance to vote for better public transit in the BC election today.
The BC New Democrats say they will re-direct millions in carbon tax revenue to increase funding for public transit and improve service as a practical response to climate change.
The choice is yours, but the results for public transit over the last 12 years under the BC Liberals is clear – there are no more buses.
