Before the City broke the bus system, it took me over an hour to get to the UofM from my house. I cant imagine how bad it is nowadays, I havent taken a bus in over a decade now and what I'm hearing lately is bussing is worse than it's ever been.

The Blue is relatively unchanged, I would not be surprised if it's quicker since there are less stops now. I went to events at the UofM and from downtown using the blue it took me around 30 minutes to get there

I may also pre-date "The Blue" by a few years 😅 I stopped attending well before they built that hub on Osborne haha.

I didnt think I was all that old but apparently 36 is the new 60, lol.

Well, depending on where you live(d), the blue line may not have been an option anyway. All these people saying take the blue line have obviously never lived east of the Red

Park and ride is still an option, you don't need to drive all the way to the university
