Please READ! THIS IS IMPORTANT!!
This wasn't the video I was going to put up. I wasn't sure if I was EVER going to put this video up ... But I feel like this issue needs to be addressed.
Please excuse the length of it. It ended up taking me an hour and a half to get to work that day. It usually takes 10. I had alot of stuff to edit out. My camera also ran out of memory.
There is a bus strike going on. In the last week I have spent $100 in parking. We are going on to week number two. This means that I will have spent $200 just to goto to work in 2 weeks time. I could be spending this money on groceries or Christmas Gifts! Paying 20 a day just to goto work?? Seriously. Big cities rely on the transpo system to get us to and from work affordably. With the strike it is impossible to do so. Many low income families are losing their jobs because they can't afford a $30 cab ride to work. Who can? It costs about $75 a month for a bus pass. With the way the economy is right now and considering that we are less then a week away from Christmas this is unacceptable. Why strike why now? This time of year is supposed to be about giving. All they are doing is taking. Many families won't be able to afford Christmas this year. This is disgusting.
This video was recorded on the first day of the strike so it doesn't address the issue head on. In this video I was just frustrated with the traffic. Due the buses not running traffic has increased significantly. It is literally bumper to bumper everywhere and the weather isn't helping. Police officers have to come out to streets to direct traffic at the busiest times. If this strike continues, I will probably make a more serious video. This issue needs to be known. It is absolutely unacceptable.
