If you had seen the view of the city blocked by the air pollution this summer, as those of us at Simon Fraser had the dubious honour of witnessing you would not be whining about inconvenience, you would see the absolute necessity of getting cars off the road and the people into public transit. It would seem that your biggest problem is that you are all worrying about which came first the chicken or the egg. If people start demanding and using the public transit system it will get better. The politicians
will have no choice. STOP WHINING AND START BUSING!!!!!
