Active Transportation vs OC Transpo

Ever taken public transit in Ottawa? Your bus likely arrived late, or not at all, or got stuck in traffic.
I'm going to prove that almost anywhere you go in Ottawa, you can get there faster by cycling, running, and sometimes even walking.

Some ways out:
- stop widening roads and inducing car dependency
- change housing targets to rely more on intensification
- set property taxes according to needs, not political expedience
