It shows that indeed when we dig into many of the slow areas we get completely bogus justifications.Yes, the slowness is just unnecessary, which is super upsetting. But the article also points out that (1) it is faster than other transit systems; it's not just us. Transit usually is kind of slow unless cars are even slower. Bikes are faster; and (2) most trips that people actually do, and most trips that I have done, are actually not the full-length, and hence short.

I actually agree with them, but also, yes, it does feel slow. (I was driving around campgrounds recently, though, and sometimes when they post 5km/h limits, that's just completely unreasonable.)
I think that the next step is for people to engage with their Regional Councillors about this article and get conversations going.
