    Default Downtown train power outage

    FYI for people that use the train. C-trains in downtown and going to downtown are at a halt. Expect major delays!

    Train got tangled in the lines and it has been down since before 6:30am. I take the EB from Westbrook and by the time we got to Sunalta they basically said get off.

    No shuttles nothing.. Had to walk to Municipal building. Other people of my team walked from Bridgeland and Erlton.

    2 buses, 1 train and 1 car2go to get to work from far SE to Bankers Hall. Only took an hour and 45 mins, not bad I guess. Doing all this with your big ass bag because your going on a flight later sucked though.

    Once I heard about the outage this morning, I was contemplating on using the bicycle and use the 12 Av lane.

    I walked out of spite.

    Fuck that bike lane.

    Got an email from my former boss yesterday asking if I would like to come back and work for them (took a contract job not even 2 month ago elsewhere)....i thought about it for a short time, then remembered that the job is downtown and I would need to take transit, so that pretty much made the decision for me.
