Public Transit: Top 5s

Top 5 Reasons Why Public Transit Sucks
  1. Your bus can drive away while you're standing at the bus stop.
  2. You don't get a refund on your ride even if you're stabbed mid-trip.

  4. It moves criminals from the downtown core to suburbs.
  5. It's a breeding ground for H1N1.

  4. There's free gum everywhere!
  5. That weird smell probably isn't coming from you.
