15 dollars saved is 15 dollars saved. I welcome the bus trial. I would have expected you of all people to be happy about such an announcement, not tell people they should just hire a private car and automatically assume they're joking for wanting otherwise.
It's an international airport with growing passenger numbers. There ought to be options to get there besides owning or hiring a vehicle to get them there. This is a good thing.
Sounds to me like you've never travelled the way I do, by thinking "if you can afford the plane you can afford all else". I could afford 5 star hotels if I wanted, but that's not me. I like to roam around and spend as little as possible, experiencing cities in unique ways. A plane ticket is one thing, but I'll happily sleep on benches or couch surf on the couch a cute girl in a bar offers me. If I don't need to spend money on taxis and hotels and all that, I prefer it more. So yeah, a cheap GRT bus ride to YKF to get to Halifax so I can wander around and see where fate takes me is my preference. Of course, I could walk, but it's humid in the summer, yeah? That sort of ad hoc travel is what makes travel fun.
