    Canada has become a car culture nation, I’m living abroad right now so that I can be a pedestrian without fearing for my life.

      The state of public transport in Montreal makes me so angry. This city used to be an examplar of public transit.

          Same here. Everytime I go to Montréal, I’m amazed by their transit.

            Lived in Montreal for 9 years and now live in Calgary. I weep when I think of Montreal’s transit vs. Calgary’s transit.

        I haven’t tried enough of the transit outside of Metro Van

        How would Montreal compare to transit here (for those that tried both)
