City transit suck bus always late and theire driver are extremely rude my son has fallen hit his head from drivers punching on gas the second you get on no time sit down now I got to pay more so these driver can keep theire raise for get that
I live on a bus route with a bus stop across the street. I must say they are always on time. They pass by at 25 past the hour and 5 before the hour. I can set my clock by them.
Cla pass?
Take an uber or lift…Oh yah city won’t allow that either. How would they get subsidies for transit
Bus blew right past my bus stop with me standing there. Had to wait longer out in the cold for the bus to come back the other way. Thanks Sault Transit. You never cease to let me down. Wish there was a better alternative other than the obvious of having my own vehicle. Sault Transit is so unreliable. If I didnt have to pay for this service I wouldn’t. You guys suck. Get your #### thogether and hire drivers that actually know how to drive. K thanks. Rant over.
Best place to voice your opinion is at next year’s election. Cheers
You can thank the Essar global group of thieves for any and all increases. You can’t blame the city they don’t have a choice in the matter.
You are lucky they didn’t raise the taxes more, although they should have. Soon we will have to worry about losing our cars in what is left of half of the streets when they cave in.
morons running this city, the people have a hard time paying the price of a fair now, looks like the mall will get a lot more cars parking there and more business,
Thanks Council. Reduce transit service (Mayor insists it’s a “priority”) and raise prices. This is why people are leaving the Sault.
“meter maids”??
What is the definition of meter maid?
a female member of a police or traffic department responsible for issuing tickets for parking violations. Origin of meter maid. 1955-1960. An Americanism dating back to 1955-60. British Dictionary definitions for meter maid.
One sure way to discourage people from shopping downtown is to raise the already high rates. Why not just eliminate those nasty meters and provide plenty of free parking.? Does the income from those meters come close to paying the wages of the meter maids?

A Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year From City Hall, Gee Thanks A Lot
