This is my monthly transit pass... for the month of October, soon to expire...... which reminds me that I haven't bought my pass for November yet. You read it right. $87 per month . "TRAM" stands for TRain, Autobus (bus) and Métro. The Zone 2 means that I can ride the commuter trains up to the West Island.
No sane Montréaler would dare to say that where I live is on the "West Island", but to the bureaucrats... and their not so subtle way to pump more money, I do. :) For reference, commuters in the immediate North Shore and South Shore of Montréal pay $103 and it can go all the way to a whopping $207 per month as they get further from Montréal, with dismal transit service to the city. :)
Do they really want to promote the transit system... and get cars off the roads? One wonders. :)
Anyway... the drawings on this month pass caught my attention. It looks like steps. You know, dance steps.
And I knew that somewhere somewhen, not too long ago... I've seen this, I have the mental picture of it... but dang... if you are a visual person like me, you have probably felt the frustration of being unable to put a name.
Tonight... EUREKA! A search on my laptop, I've found the photo... *AND* my travel notes.Welcome to Seattle! This is the photo of the sidewalk on Broadway Street between Pine and Pike Streets in the Capitol Hill district.
It looks pretty much like my monthly transit pass. Eerie, isn't it?
If this was up to me, I'd be in Seattle, or anywhere else these days...
Cheers,
