		<description>This blogpost has been brought to you by the letters S, T and M. 

More tolerant? Tell that to my boss. He's not very tolerant of my tardiness due to the fact that my bus which should pass at 7h14, 7h22, 7h43 and 7h52 only gets around to my corner around 8 when I've been on the corner since 7h and this happens 3 days out of 5.

More tolerant? Tell that to my client who complains to my boss. He's not more tolerant of my tardiness either due to the fact that my bus which should pass at 7h14, 7h22, 7h43 and 7h52 only gets around to my corner around 8 when I've been on the corner since 7h and this happens 3 days out of 5.

Then I look at the poster in the bus telling the users that the STM is having difficulty getting all the buses out and that this is not the bus drivers fault and that the STM is working hard to resolve this issue quickly... the poster has been up for over a year. 

When I time people by a calendar instead of a watch, it's taking to long.

And your solution to fixing the STMs inadequacies is for the users to move closer to their destinations? WTF?

Also, the 3rd-world-country defense is tired and over-used just like the Nazi-defense. Just because other countries have it worse (and there will always be other countries that have it worse) doesn't mean that our problems aren't worthy of being addressed. It's all these little problems that add up that make a persons life stressful and sometimes very hard to manage.

Like Daniel Pinard said of the way culture treats the poor; We feed our poor people, like we feed pigs. Well mass transit does the same. It's treats it's users like it would pigs. It's disgraceful. It keeps publicizing how it's investing close to 400 million dollars in renovating its services and yet it keeps getting worse and worse. Oh but the guys working in the little cabins got bigger cabins to work in. WEEEEEEEEE! We Have new turnstiles which will charge you more than in peak hours. WEEEEEEEE. But we are still packed like sardines be causes there's not enough buses and trains.</description>

		<description>Alas, but you are wrong about one thing. You said "Mainstream media outlets are clueless about this blog thing and are just throwing stuff out there to see what sticks." I would argue that they're just throwing things out there. I don't think they're even bothering to see what sticks.</description>
