ElPunto Posted February 4, 2008 ^Get thee to Europe - $7 to $9 a gallon if not higher. Americans are such whiners. Cadaan - how could you forget Montreal's metro? Better than Toronto's though not as extensive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baluug Posted February 4, 2008 Adna-Here in Alberta is where all the freaking gas comes from, and we pay more than $4 a gallon, so be happy with your $2.95. ThePoint-Yeah, I forgot about Montreal. But what about the rest of Canada, that's it, isn't it? I don't think Vancouver has a subway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pujah Posted February 4, 2008 One can certainly survive without a car in Chicago but old habits die hard. I have yet to set foot in one of the trains I guess I should think about joining the public transit mass since parking in the city can get very expensive and my insurance was just raised for speeding ticket I had in another city.

Pucca Posted February 5, 2008 Vancouver has skytrains cadaan... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baluug Posted February 5, 2008 ^Yeah, but it's all above-ground, isn't it? That's what I'm talking about. Because Calgary has the C-Train and Edmonton has the.......E-train....or whatever the hell its called, but they're above ground, but I'm talking about subways.

SCORPION_SISTA Posted February 5, 2008 I think the ability and the know how to drive gives a person an independence that is great...Now a days things are expensive to certain extend, but I can't think of not being able to drive anywhere whenever I want to...My sister on the other hand doesn't drive and I don't find anything wrong with it...It's just whatever a person feels is right for them...But a person should understand there is a great difference between not "wanting" to drive and not "able" to drive...bee bye Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pucca Posted February 5, 2008 hmm...i dont think its all above ground, i think it goes underground too. Not too sure though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't picture myself in a car..way back when I was taking lessons, the steerig wheel felt so weird in my hands. Now a scooter I have no issue with if the streets in TO were better designed for scooters/motorcycles... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Som@li Posted February 6, 2008 Here, Oil is not cheap either, 1 Littre =$1.45 1 Gallon = 3.785 X 1.45 = $5.49 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baluug Posted February 6, 2008 ^ That's in Aussieland? I guess I lied, seeing as the gas here in Calgary is 99.9 cents/litre, so that would be 3.785x0.999=$3.78/gallon. Still expensive compared to US prices, that's all due to increased taxes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
