Canadians looking to impress on their next romantic date might want to stay clear of on-demand car services, taxis or even public transit, according to the findings of a recent autoTRADER.ca survey that explores the role of the automobile in modern-day dating. In fact, a whopping 92 percent of Canadians say they find it appealing when their date shows up with their own ride. And don't even think about "borrowing the car" for the occasion – close to half of the population surveyed (48 percent) reported that they would find a borrowed vehicle unattractive or "embarrassing beyond words."
While it is unsurprising a publication called Autotrader would find car ownership is necessary for romance, do the study's claims track? Do today's humans really prefer being picked up for a date by someone who owns a car? Is being picked up on a motorcycle really the least attractive?

As usual, the closer to the city core, the better the public transit, likewise, if you're close to the light rail, it's pretty good. The city and suburbs are spread out and there are lots of places, especially on the outskirts where you might buy a house for less then a million dollars or actually find a vacant rental, where the public transit is crap or non-existant.
My Provincial government would rather enter a private/public partnership to build a 10 lane bridge then invest in transit. Looks better on the books and rewards the companies that pay the Premiers salary and election campaign.
