Top 5 Transit Solutions to the LTC Strike

With the current strike going on, everyone's looking for better alternatives to get around. Below are the top 5 innovative ways to get around London in the coming weeks.


#5 - The Side Hammock 18 Wheeler Attachment -



Grab the hammock from your neighbour's yard and head on over to Richmond Row. With traffic busier then ever in the morning, you're bound to find an 18 wheeler or truck waiting at a light. Run over, attach your hammock as shown and enjoy the ride to class. Not only does this provide comfort, but the opportunity to catch a few z's on your way to morning class. Epic.

#4 - The Three Wheel, Immigrant Motorcycle -


The next time a three wheel motorcycle overloaded with illegal immigrants passes by you at Western and Oxford, why not hitch a ride? Although not the safest option, you know that the opportunity to learn a new language and meet new friends is close at hand. End of the day, your friends civic doesn't compare to this bad boy.

#3 - The Car Ski -


Why pay for snow tires when the snow hits, when a case a beer, your roommate and his set of power tools can create a sick ski/car hybrid? This bad boy will reach Lamborghini speeds, while ensuring that at least three people are dead by the end of your trip. With a Fred Flinstone like breaking system, and a sick hot-pink paint job, you'll get to class in style.

#2 - Elephant rides


Come on - you don't have one? Heck my roommate took one home from the bar the other night. Good times, a sense of elegance and knowing that no one will **** with your day, brings our elephant to #2. So legit.


#1 - Super hero friends



Nothing says class like showing up to the North Campus Building in the Bat Mobile, Delorian, or the invisible jet. Michael J Fox is retired, Bat Man can't get insurance after writing off the first bat mobile in the Dark Knight, and how will Wonder Woman really know if the invisible jet has gone missing? All options are up for grabs, that are just too legit too quit.

  2. This gave me a much needed laugh after the stress of the past couple days. All definitely great/innovative options, I know I would personally love to show up to class in super hero style... on that note, I think I'll give superman a call and see if he wants to fly me over to blogging tonight. Would save me having to walk again!

  3. You know what the sad part is? The school's most viable solution is a car pool badge - ie. if you're willing to give someone a ride you wear one. Personally, I'd rather go for any of your options than go for that (isn't 'don't take a ride from anyone you don't know' right up there with 'don't talk to strangers'?)

    PS. Thanks for a good laugh - much needed after the $30 I've paid for parking this week.
