Now don't you feel guilty, Verto? Here are all us environmentally friendly commuters, and along you come with your planet killer.

No.

Mass transit offered here is atrocious; if I lived in a city where it was actually a feasible alternative, I would. (I enjoyed Austin's, for example.)

My camera batteries are empty but this one's pretty similar:



Or when the weather's very bad:

You could get a Prius instead. When I can afford a new car, that's what I want. Consumer Reports reports that it has the highest customer sastisfaction of any vehical, with 92% of owners planning to get another.

Pretty cheap on the fuel too isn't it?

Too bad it's FUGLY. If/when I get a hybrid, it won't be one of those ugly ****ers.

The Prius, heck yeah. It gets the best mileage of any car. You can even follow it with the onboard computer panel. I was getting 70mpg at times. That only happens when you're qt the speed sweet spot of 55mph. At regular highway speeds, it begins dropping to around 45mpg.

And you post a picture of that pus coloured brick?

[Verto]

If by pus coloured brick you mean dead sexy Escape, yes.

This is what a hybrid should look like.



Not this.

I think the new Prius is actually kinda cool looking. Very futuristic. Inside it's like a dream. Now take the Scion B. That is one ugleeeee car.

SUVs should require special permits, to only be used by people who actually need them.

[Verto]

And we should prevent people from buying houses which are deemed to large/spacious/frivolous for their needs.

And we should restrict the number of cell phones a person/household can purchase, due to the millions of discarded units which are filling our landfills.

And the number of computers and TVs.

In fact, everyone should be happy with a biodegradeable box the government will give them every 5-10 months. That is all the shelter, food, recreation and transportation they should need.

And these are the various shuttles to take us across campus or other Emerson facilities around the city:


And to get back to my hometown:

Thats cool, I'm overly familiar with all of those (except the campus buses). Actually, I only rarely took the green line... I was more of a red/orange liner. (I grew up in Dorchester... where exactly is your home town?).

I also remember taking the commuter rail with my parents once a year to visit Rockport up on Cape Ann. And occassionally down to Providence, RI.

Ahh.... I would miss New England if my mother didn't live there.

Ft. Lauderdale's a great bike town too.

So is Ottawa actually, except bike theft is rampant. I brought up my $300 bike from my parent's house and it only lasted a couple weeks. In fact, everyone I know with a bike up here has had it either stolen or trashed beyond use. Its a shame really. Its also bizarre because Ottawa is such a safe city... just not for bikes I guess.

Dauphin:

I'm sorry, but that bus is ridiculous looking.

[Lul Thyme]

He Jimmy, I didnt know you lived in Ottawa.
Its funny to open a thread and see pictures of buses you see everyday (and even take sometimes).
I rarely take the OC transpo actually, but very often the STO buses, as I'm on the Quebec side... (I go to U of O though).

Outaouais represent.

Yeah, I take OC Transpo daily... sometimes even 5 minutes down the road. I have a monthly pass so I may as well.

I actually rarely take STO though. Usually when I'm going to Hull I'll just get the #8 which goes right to the Portage.
