It has taken me a long time to figure out why the #OCTranspo New Ways to Bus logo makes me uneasy. Today, I got it. The logo shows that the fastest way between A and B is to walk. The bus / train lines shown are not used. I guess it is often a true #Ottawa trip route. #OttPoli - ThreadSky

That's because dear old Ottawa has made it virtually impossible to get anywhere without going way out of your way.
Drove me nuts, now I drive in Kingston, a grid with the main street going corner to corner and Brock and Johnson lights set so you get all greens if you go the speed limit.
Perfect.
