Halifax Commuter

I recently became a casual employee for the federal government. I love what I do and I’m actually learning so much about how our economy works! Going into this position, I thought that commuting from my remote (okay, it’s not that far) apartment off Lacewood Drive in Clayton Park to Hollis Street would be the worst part of my summer. I had heard horror stories about the Halifax Metro Transit and I had braced myself for the worst.

Turns out it’s pretty cool. I talk exactly six minutes to the bus stop off Regency Park and the #21 bus brings me to Scotia Square. I take the bus at 7:16a.m. and I am at my desk by 7:53a.m. This includes walking to Hollis Street, greeting the cute Metro paperboy & thanking the Boston Pizza guy for handing out free Chronicle Herald papers!!

I get to read and listen to John Mayer and let someone else stress with the driving. My current commute read: Jen Lancaster’s memoirs. She actually had a chapter about commuting in her second novel and I actually read it WHILE I was on the bus!!

So to all of those out there who drive their own cars, you don’t know what you’re missing!

Bonsoir,
