Thunder Bay – Bus Riding Bastards Freezing In The Dark
An excerpt from a previous post. Seems appropriate right now. Thunder Bay Transit first announced the installation of these shelters back in ummmm July 16. That is over four (update: seven now) months ago. Yes…..four (seven) months ago. With winter being a real shitty time to be standing around, out in the open, waiting for a bus, […]
Thunder Bay – Neck Deep In The Public Purse
Never was going to be a strike. Not in the middle of January at the start of an election year. Nope. Council had to protect their phoney baloney jobs. Harrumph Harrumph. The union has been working without a new contract sine June 2012. That’s a long time and it makes me wonder if the increased […]
Thunder Bay – If You Want To Follow The Money, Don’t Take A Bus
Yes, Thunder Bay Transit reduces its service evenings and weekends. Why? I have a couple of suggestions as to why this is happening. First, high wages of city employees, including managers.

Thunder Bay – Passengers? We Don’t Care About No Stink’n Passengers
Does Thunder Bay Transit put winter tires on their buses? It appears not. If they are winter tires, they are really shitty winter tires. Winter tire practices vary across Canadian municipalities.

Thunder Bay – So Move To Sudbury Or Sault Ste Marie Then….And Take Greg Alexander With You
Kovisto said workers are seeking wages that would put them on par with bus drivers in both Sudbury and Sault Ste. Marie, though couldn’t say how much of a percentage increase they’re looking at. The last time I checked, Thunder Bay Transit operates in the City of Thunder Bay. Not Sault Ste. Marie. Not Sudbury. […]

Thunder Bay – Not Fade Away
I wonder how she is doing? Will we ever find out the results of the investigation? I’d like to know. I suppose this story will fade away. Sad.
Thunder Bay – Erectile Dysfunctional?
So…the concrete pads are ready. Have been ready for weeks. Transit shelters could have been erected weeks ago. erected before this cold snap hit the city for sure. Yet, nothing is happening. Nothing. Why not? Why is there not a crew or two putting the shelters as soon as the concrete is ready? This […]
