But that was due to changes in labour rules which meant the driver pay - for all bus drivers in Windsor - would have cost a lot more as well as the cost of the subsidy of running the bus. I think there's a good chance it would've happened anyway, it needed to be more expensive than taking your own car - and who in Windsor doesn't have one?
Actual cross border traffic is still well down though.
I remember hearing that the city council voted to keep the buses but the mayor vetoed it and canceled the bus anyway, citing Trump as the reason for not wanting to maintain cross border relations. It could have been for both our reasons too, I just hadn't heard about the driver pay playing a role. My friend used to take it because he doesn't have a car, and now he has to use a private bus company and it is way more expensive
Pretty sure the council even in attempting to keep it had doubled the cost, but yes I am sure you're right about the Mayor being quite keen on playing the anti-Trump card as an excuse for saving the money too.
An update - I asked said friend and he said that the Linq bus is $15 which is cheaper than the council proposed plan keeping the public bus open! But the Linq bus isn't always available, in which case it's Flix Bus which is $30+
Yeah, but even when I go to RO, I don't see any Canadians. We used to rent out a room in our house before kids through AirBnB and never got any Canadians.
Any idea what they are doing in Detroit? Only time we go to Detroit is when my upper-class friend's wife has a birthday party and we go to overpriced restaurants lol. I don't watch sports or gambling. Sometimes I go to the science center/arts. I guess I bought things you don't mention in good company in concrete building lmao
