Public Transportation vs Paying for Parking

And you wonder why I take the bus? It's not only the insane drivers, construction, traffic, lack of parking and drive by shooting neighbourhoods of late........

"Statistics show at a median price of $375, the rate for a monthly parking pass in Calgary is the highest in Canada, and more than what drivers in Los Angeles and Paris pay for the same service.

At an average of $22 per day, the daily rate in Calgary is also the highest in the country and higher than Atlanta, Miami and Munich. "*

A monthly Adult bus pass costs $70.00. You can also buy bus tickets- a book of 10 is $19.50.....OR you can just pay as you go at $2.25 per trip (with a transfer can be valid for 90 minutes).

Let's not even get me going on how lazy people are with their walking skills............everyone likes to park right up to the front door of where they are going......better yet........make it a drive-in! Why even leave your car...........

Oh......on that note..........who has a car these days anyways.........all I see is BIG trucks and SUV's. Show-off's. It must be nice spending $80.00 to fill up your vehicle every week or two.

Boy....people have money to burn!

I've got to stop reading the Calgary Sun................... * stats are from today's paper.
