Glad he didn't just take it! That would've been a terrible way to end it

15 innings later, and the Mariners look fired up again. They've got .. checks watch.. 42 hours until they play in Toronto?

I was doing one last year, and halfway through, it had a picture of the outline person sitting down next to a pile of boxes and wood pieces, with an outline of a glass of wine . It knows it's terrible!

The winner has to play the jays tomorrow! They're gonna be pooped! (Well, I suppose it's not tomorrow yet in Seattle 🤔)

That's what I figured, that one sounds not good 😬

There's also an accident on the Bedford highway Halifax bound, but I'm not sure if that would affect where you're at!

Emily @em616.bsky.social · 11h

Oof, that sounds brutal! Those bones in there are fairly small and so delicate, and not a lot to cushion a blow. I hope she's okay with time

Luminate had some pumpkin pies left earlier, you could give them a shout

Emily @em616.bsky.social · 14h

School House does, they have some local retailers. Apple crisp and pumpkin pie for sure

Plus MSVU does the Upass as well, so I'd assume there would be a few Mount students taking the buses around there as well!

Emily @em616.bsky.social · 15h

Haha, I've used it in other cities but never in Halifax . Thanks!

I wish my building did! Most of us just park them behind cars or in our storage units.
One guy put extra stickers in his parking spot to make lines for his kid's bike with training wheels. It's precious

Am I using the right app lol? HFX go transit? Where's the tracker function 😅

Emily @em616.bsky.social · 17h

Yessss definitely need more buses, more drivers, more bus lanes and obviously money doesn't appear out of thin air. Just wish the higher ups could see what we do (my we I mostly mean vous who take the bus on the regular)
(I walk to work so am fortunate that I don't need to I guess)

Emily @em616.bsky.social · 17h

So many moving pieces.
I definitely agree that you can't suddenly expect an influx of ridership despite free and subsidized passes if the system cannot keep up. And the system is definitely not keeping up.
More bus lanes, driver training and retention, larger fleet and upgraded terminals please!
