[问题]Ottawa的XDJM平时上下班用什么交通工具,要花多少时间

[jyfamily]

俗话说,出门离不开四件事,衣食住行,现今的社会前三件的差距已经越来越小,可这"行"吧,就看每天上下班了,少则十几分钟,多的一个小时,虽说看上去差别不大,可每天相差半小时,一个月下来,也就相当于多做一天的活了,这免费在路上折腾不算,有这时间做啥不好,干嘛白白耗在路上呢?
所以这也直接关系到生活质量.还有冬天下暴风雪,是不是交通会很糟?希望朋友们畅所欲言!

Orleans to kanata, 15-20 minutes? Are you kidding me? at least 30-40 mintues.

It depends.
The bus system is good in Ottawa. But it is totally designed for people in and out downtown. Mostly the bus system serves the federal government building. So if you work downtown or go to either one of two universities and one college in the city, you can take the bus. It takes about 40 min to an hour from Kanata or Orlean to downtown. The parking spaces in downtown is hard to find and expensive. So most people work there take the bus.

If you working place is not downtown, unless it is on main bus line or you live nearby. You have to drive. Rush hour is bad everywhere, Ottawa is considered better than many including Toronto. In winter there will be few bad days when storm come, other time is fine. If you live and work alone 95, 96,97 , it is fine to takes bus. They are the main lines check http://www.octranspo.com/Main_MenuE.asp

I understand. Ideally it takes about 20 minutes, but when it comes to rush hours, double that time makes sense.
Not bad.

BTW, I'm so impressed by the English competence of Ottawa Chinese, most of you guys write just as diplomats.

I mean time on the highway 417, say from Montreal Road to March Road, (exit 113 to Exit 134, total 21 km), if you drive 120 km/hour on average with no traffic jam (2 km in 1 minute), 20 minutes more than enough. I am a licensed soccer referee in Ontario, and ref games in fields at every corner of Ottawa in the summer. I know how long it takes me to drive to each soccer field during either rush hour or after rush hour. You can try yourself in the morning of any Saturday to see how long it takes for you to drive from Orleans to kanata. Take care, do not be caught by police. Good luck!
