Disappearing Buses
I’ve never posted in here before but I’ve kept up with other members gripes and complaints about OC transpo, so it’s my turn finally.
I don’t know if it’s the bus scheduling apps I’m using but, other than the fact that the entire system is completely unreliable and frustrating, I’ve had way to many occurrences of a bus just not showing up at all!! Like not EXISTING!! Just now, I was waiting for the 53 bus (bus #1 of 3 btw 🙄) which on google maps, Ottawa transit app, and just google in general all said “scheduled at 10:03. Well guess what, 10:03 rolls around, no bus, sure there’s some margins of error and traffic and lights can delay things. 10:05, I’m looking WAY down Merivale, no bud in sight, 10:10 I need to make the second bus. So I walk the entire way to the next stop, not crazy long but long enough that a bus ride is convenient (silly me). THE ENTIRE WALK THERE, NO BUS 53. WHERE THE FUCK DOES IT GO. WHY DOES IT NOT EXIST WHEN SCHEDULING SAYS ITS SUPPOSED TOO.
Currently waiting for bus 2 of 3 (at the time of posting is scheduled in 3 minutes, pray for me).
Can someone please rant with me on this BS
EDIT: I’m posting (finally) because this happens way to often. Often enough that I usually resort to walking every where, even if it takes me about an hour to get somewhere, I know it’s quicker than bussing
