2. Thunderbay Transit needs to do better （ 71 ｜ 47 ｜ 12）
Original title:Thunderbay Transit needs to do better
Post summary:Some things I've seen on ThunderBay Transit are really frustrating. When people are walking towards the bus, the driver leaves. Then, the passenger tries to run to the next nearby bus stop, and the driver speeds up to leave that stop before the running passenger arrives. When we got to Confederation College, another passenger was right next to the bus trying to get on, and he closed the door and left again... I've never seen anything like it. We have some incredible people hired by Thunderbay Transit

Original title:The complex is a joke
Post summary:Why do they try to close 25 minutes early every time? When you check the closing time online, it says 8 on Sundays, but they turned off the sauna and hot tub lights at 7:40 and turned off the sauna stove at 7:30, even earlier, and it takes almost 15 minutes per person to get in, and they can't even give you until the actual closing time.

Featured comments:
- They close at 8:00 PM. You still want to soak in the hot tub at 7:59. Hmm. My friend, you seem like the type to sit down for a meal five minutes before closing. Those who don't understand that the overhead announcement in the grocery store telling you the store is closing is a hint to wrap things up. This kind of obliviousness leads to ignorance, causing people to not realize that they're making staff take care of stragglers like you and further delaying other end-of-shift duties (30)
