Adjusting to Halifax transit after using transit in Montreal was a challenge

I lived in an area with two bus routes on 30 minute schedules. I would try to get to my stop 7 min early just in case, then potentially wait 15-20 min and arrive late anyway

"Frequency is freedom: A 10-minute frequency approaches a level of service where people stop worrying about a timetable and think of the service of being there whenever they need it"

This is the critical psychological shift, where transit starts to become useful for people who value freedom"

-Jarrett Walker, author of "Human Transit"
minor correction to alt text: "service AS being there whenever they need it"

The "learning loss" discourse is going to hit NS soon. Don't listen.

Remember: children's brains are wired to learn: curious, whimsical, and chaotic.

Yes, our curriculum has outcomes that are developmentally appropriate for neurotypical children.

But also, if they learn what a rhombus is a year later than normal, that's ok. Most of our curriculum is cyclical-we revisit and reexamine topics constantly. We'll catch them up
Unless we're looking at very specific courses preparing kiddos for university, it's not a disaster that kids might not meet the arbitrary benchmarks we set for typical years.

These are extraordinary times.

I have a homework assignment for anybody running for council.

I’m a nobody and this is clearly optional, but it’s clear that many of you haven’t done ANY OF THIS before and if you’re making decisions related to transit, then you should do this at least once.

1. Start at Mumford terminal.

I’m being kind here, since most of us don’t start our trips directly from a terminal.

Start a timer when you arrive.
2. What do you think of the terminal?

Can you tell WHERE to wait for your bus? Is the a schedule or map posted for people new to the system. Can you BUY A TICKET anywhere?

Do you have a comfortable place to wait? Shade? A bench?

Your mission is to take a bus to Bayers lake.
