If we all work together
Sunday, September 25, 2011
It seems I'm not the only Auto123.com writer who's faced the wrath of back-to-school traffic these last few weeks. Montreal traffic is already God awful, so the prospect of stressed-to-the-max parents piloting their cars with emo-powered teens skulking in the back seat, and toddlers screaming for their blankies as passengers in the cars around me added to the mess, and frankly scared the poop out of me.

Back to school: is your car ready for traffic jams?
Friday, September 09, 2011
Another year has come and gone, and as usual when school starts, the daily commute becomes a living hell again. On a personal note, my trip from home to work normally takes a half-hour, but starting this week, it's at least twice that long.

Enduring gridlock
Wednesday, September 07, 2011
The floodgates have opened and the roadways are teeming with trucks pulling bass boats, 4x4s laden with kayaks, tractor-trailers and scores of Walmart-bound minivans rushing to supply their progeny with all the necessities of another school season of drudgery.

It's no secret. In fact, even if we tried to keep it a secret, given the amount of coverage this story has garnered, people in Namibia are aware of what's going on here. Yes, Montreal's road infrastructure is kaput.

Keep on Truckin' - or not?
Tuesday, July 12, 2011
At least once a week, I travel the Trans Canada Highway, or 401 as it's more commonly known. It's a necessary evil of a life spent primarily behind the wheel, whether I'm returning a press car or heading to the airport; you can't get there from here without taking the 401.

24 hours in the life of LA motorists (video)
Friday, March 25, 2011
Whoever lives near a big city and has to commute at rush hour has to get used to the idea of traffic jams. No one likes to be stuck in a highway parking lot and lose precious time, but that's unfortunately part and parcel of our daily life.

Three-Dimensional Fast Bus: the solution for public transport on crowded streets?
Monday, October 25, 2010
Public transport is a solution when you're tired of traffic jams, but not when it uses the same stretch of road as cars and trucks. Taking the bus isn't quicker if it's stuck in gridlock with everyone else, and isolating a reserved lane for them cuts down on available lanes for normal traffic, which could make things worse.
